Tonight I rearranged my blog to move my 100+ Reading Challenge post to it's own page. As I was rearranging I noticed I am a little behind ...

Not that I haven't been reading.  But I have not been counting books that I skim ... and apparently I have been skimming a lot of books lately.

Technically, I should have about 50 books read as tomorrow is the first of July, the halfway point. 

I have to say I do have quite the list to read:

Ha ha ha ha, Ha ha ha ha, Ha ha ---

I wasn't looking forward to today all that much, despite it being my day off.  I have a couple of non-day off activities to accomplish so I decided to add to that unpleasantness and have my own little pity party.

Thankfully, I found this little quiz in my rss feed today ... it cheered me right up.  Nothing like a little Princess Bride in the morning to raise the spirits a bit.

BTW -- I got an 80%. One of the best scores I have gotten on these "difficult" mental_floss quizzes.

Hah.

The last two questions killed my 4.0.  (Also the actor in question #1's video -- amazing job!).

Odds and ends

After church today, I drove three blocks to the convenience store to buy a pop (the soft pretzel was irresistible so I picked up one of those too).  As I parked my car, I thought, "I guess I could have walked here ..."

I thought it again when the sum total of my purchases was $2.34.

Course I didn't feel quite so guilty when the gentleman ahead of me in line spent $45 on two packs of cigarettes, lottery tickets and a $0.40 cup of coffee.

I've been entertaining myself lately by teaching myself Microsoft Office 2007.  The sister's boyfriend "took" a class for his master's and bequeathed me his textbook when he was done.

It should entertain me for quite a while as I'm only on page 104 of 1303 pages.
