The Great Dane found his owner!  He belongs to a college student who went on vacation.  A friend was supposed to be caring for him.  Bet she’s pretty pissed at that friend.  He also apparently had on a collar and tags, but they are no where to be found.  She didn’t even realize he was missing–my neighbor had him outside and another neighbor recognized him.  They called the owner who was on her way home from her vacation.

Anyway, I’m so glad he’s back where he belongs.  His owner said he’s so skinny because he has a stomach disorder.  Now I need to Google this, out of curiosity.

Such a sweet dog!  Aaaah!

I’ve been really loving my Kindle lately.  Tyler bought a leather cover with an attached book light and it makes all the difference.  In the past week I’ve started and finished Dawn on a Distant Shore (Tyler makes fun of me, but it was an enjoyable read, and it’s a series…) and tonight I finished Snow Flower and the Secret Fan.

I just finished Snow Flower and the Secret Fan a few minutes ago.  Now I am so depressed.  Thank God I was not born in the 1800′s as a Chinese girl.

Next I’m going to start the third book in the series I’m reading, the one following Dawn on a Distant Shore.  I think there are two more books in the series after that, they are all around 800 pages long, but I read really fast.

Then I have to read some free books, because I can’t keep buying them.  Project Gutenberg is so cool–all of those books are free e-books.  They are all old books, and there are a million to choose from.

I love reading in bed at night.  It was hard to do with actual books, because Ada would find them in the morning and eat the pages or they would get knocked in the floor.  I never found a book light I liked.  The Kindle is so easy, and it’s just like looking at a book page.

I’d much rather read than watch TV, for the most part.  I haven’t watched TV much at all in the past few weeks.  Sometimes I turn it on out of habit and I suddenly realize how completely annoying and shallow everything on it seems, so I turn it right back off.

Ok, I’ll admit I like Teen Mom.  Shh.  I also like Big Love and True Blood.  However, none of those things are on right now.

    I LOVE my Kindle soooooooo much. My favorite way to read at night is to lie on my side with Cecilia snuggled against my side and the Kindle on its side on my husband’s pillow. I turned auto-rotate off because I just prefer it that way. :)

    I read the dawn on a distant shore books. Wonderful! I grew up in upstate NY and the books were like going home… Enjoy the rest of them. :)
