What I read on vacation.

I know that you are dying to know. . .

Did I finish any of those books on my vacation?

Hah.

I read about 10 pages of a book called Rockville Pike that I had started the week before we left.

That's it.

The upside is though that I still have a stack of good books to read. I'm not sure when. But sometime. Like when the boys leave home or something.

A lot of times when I'm sitting in church, I'm thinking about the things I need to get done. Yes, I know. I'm supposed to be paying attention to the sermon and I do mostly, but the sermons aren't always the most compelling. I was thinking today how I'd like to have a much better working knowledge of the Bible. I think about that a lot at church. I should know more than I do. And then I was thinking about all those books I took with me on vacation to read, but didn't touch. I want so badly to devour them and other things, too, but am limited by time for one thing. But also by the rate at which my brain can assimilate things. It's so frustrating because there's so much to learn and read, but my brain can only handle so much at one time, so it's not like I can pack my brain every spare second. It just doesn't work like that. At least not anymore. I think I assimilated information much faster when I was younger. Hah. What a revelation. People don't learn as easily when they get old? You're kidding!

And one day when I do have more free time to sit and read, I'll probably be sitting on my ass, sipping a margarita, maybe at the beach, thinking about all those things I should be reading or doing.
