Well....Thursday boss asked everyone if they wanted VOT'S (voluntary off time) So I took an hour and then decided to take Friday off as well. I was planning to to take a half day Monday for a Dr. appointment...Then said what the heck and took Monday too! Friday I went and paid my property taxes...let me tell ya the charm of that wore off...lol. After that I went to downtown books...a huge HUGE used book store! two floors of pure bliss!!!! Picked up a couple books for roomie and several for me...lol.
Then I went to South Milwaukee to another used book store that a friend of mine owns (Re-reads paper back Exchange) and bought several more books,and visited for a while. I got me some Jeffery Deaver (5).....Dean Koontz (2).........a James Patterson....a Stephen King...and a Patricia Cornwell...Roomie got Valley of the Dolls and Catcher in the Rye....and for a funny I got her "V"...lol (from the T.V. mini-series)
Saturday..guess what I did??? Parked my butt on the couch and read a book..lol..One I started a while back..was about 190 pages into it and I finished it....was 542 page book...Could not put it down.....Jeffery Deaver's "The twelfth Card" lots of plot twists. Saturday was a great day for that because we had another snowstorm...grrrrrrr. Had to interrupt the book reading once to go shovel. Sunday I did the normal laundry ...dishes..even mopped my floors...ick. Monday Dr.s appointment..I lost 8.8lbs!! WOOT! I do have to get fasting labs done yet will be doing that Wednesday morning 7:30 am..grr will be starving to death before I get there...lol. I went to lunch afterwards....Cafe LULU's...yummie!! I had me a "mooney tuna" and some lulu chips..yum!

Good entry. I never read until I retired, now I can't get enough. Love Patterson. I love Jack Higgins and Just finished one by Reed Arvin, 'The Will' I enjoyed it more than I have a book in awhile. I like Grisham and I think Reed is as good as Grisham. Anyway good to relax and take time off and read if possible. Thanks fro stopping by ther Shipslog.
