I'm better

I'm better now. My neck is fine, thank goodness. I don't know what happened. I finally took some Robaxacet and it was fine. I don't know why I didn't think of that in the first place.

Now that I'm well, Tanner is sick. Sick with a cold. He was quite ill on the weekend, but now he's just got a cold. It's that time of year.

We are on reading break right now and it's been pretty nice. I thought I'd be going crazy with having Tanner all day, but it's been quite fun and pleasant. I have become accustomed to my mornings and using it for my study time so I sometimes dread when Tanner is at home from school because I get worried that I won't be able to have any time to study. It's like sacred time for me. Sometimes, I don't even answer the phone so I'm not interrupted (except for you Sharon because I wait all day by the phone for you to call me...lol).

We watched Madagascar 2. It's somewhat funny, but it still has that sometimes inappropriate adult humor hid in it. I really liked the bonus features on it.

I found this amazing quote but I don't have it with me but it is really good so stay tuned because I'll have it up next time I post. It's from this book I'm reading right now called "Hearing the voice of the Lord". It's a really good book. I was invited to a discussion group and this is the book for the month. So it's my first "book club" so I'm kind of excited. As I've said in previous posts, I have a hard time with books because they aren't censored like a movie is. You can go online and see how many swears and if there's nudity or violence in a movie but in a book...I've never heard of a website where you can check for that sort of stuff in a book. I don't really like getting into a book and having a bunch of crude language or explicit scenes described. I feel like I've wasted my time in reading that book and I don't force myself to continue the book. It's just not something that I choose to read. I want to read good books. Uplifting books. Books that teach me something. Books that have an interesting story to them. I'm not opposed to fru fru books (or candy books as someone I know refers to them), I just want it to be an appropriate book. One that I wouldn't be ashamed of telling the Lord I read. I know....that's a bit Molly Mormon, but that's just what I choose.

And I'd like to say that I finally broke down and am reading the Chronicles of Narnia. I'm still firm in NOT reading Lord of the Rings, but I read Prince Caspian and am now onto Voyage of the Dawn Treader. So for those of you who thought I'd cave, I did. And I actually really enjoy them. We recently just got the live radio version of The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe so I'm going to listen to that next week when we go up to Calgary. I'm looking forward to it. So all you people can laugh and say "ha haa, I told you so". I deserve it. Anyways, I think that's it for now.
