new mobile phone numbers
the number of people in line at the DMV (we'll go back another day),
the appointment times and phone numbers for the 4 landscape companies who came to give estimates on leaf removal for us this Fall,
the new addresses in our GPs (I love you GPS!)
and so forth.
So I thought I would continue with the numbers theme and share that:
I've taken 200 photos for my photo-a-day project. I've only missed 28 days for the year. You can see the entire Kylie photo montage here.
Here was my pick of the day.
Although I thought these two were good too.
I also peeked on Shelfari to see how many books I've read this year. 48 so far. I've listed them for you below. The PC Cast ones are a bit embarrassing to list because they are juvenile mind candy. I've also listened to the first ten audiobooks by JD Robb--the Eve Dallas series read by Susan Erikson--and they are hands-down the best audio series I've ever heard. They keep me coming back for more. I don't know how I would survive all the playground trips without them.
So without further ado, my top twelve books so far this year are:
Sarah Addison Allen: The Sugar Queen
Jacqueline Carey: Naamah's Kiss & Kushiel's Mercy.
Katherine Center: Everyone Is Beautiful
Charlaine Harris: Dead and Gone (Sookie Stackhouse, Book 9)
Toni Jordan: Addition
Stephen King: Just After Sunset: Stories
Stephenie Meyer: Breaking Dawn
Stephenie Meyer: The Host
Naomi Novik: Victory of Eagles (Temeraire, Book 5)

BEAUTIFUL pics!! Your daughter is lovely!
I'm jealous of your reading list, I wish I had more time to read! Maybe when my little girl gets a bit older :)
Wow, quite the list! :)
Your daughter is beautiful.
What great books! I've been on a young adult kick lately- just finished the Mortal Instruments trilogy by Cassandra Clare.
And I think I've asked you before, but I don't remember?? What camera do you use? Your photos always look so lovely!
Hi Audra, thanks for the comment. I'll have to try the Clare books.
I shoot with a Nikon D50. I still shoot in automatic a lot of the time but am learning to shoot in manual mode more often.
