It's a blazin 31°C in Northern California and I'm beginning to crave the coolness of my swimming pool. Since Summer arrived quite early and on top of that, I only have two more finals next week, I've began cleaning up my home office to clear out the semester's clutter. Now the hard part is throwing them out.
As I cleaned up my office, I also started to get my summer reading together. I pulled out three out of the four book marks that I've been using the last couple of weeks (as I was devouring every book from my first reading list). I was also amazed that I've managed to hold off on reading Dead and Gone by Charlaine Harris. It's the new book in the Sookie Stackhouse series.
It's amazing that I even got my bookshelf cleaned up. But I am however angry that there's not enough room on the darned shelf to hold all of my books. That reminds me, I have to pick up the rest of my books from my mum's. Call me crazy, but I think I can fill up one of my spare bedrooms and make it into a library...
I do have most of the books that I want to read for the summer except for Shadow Divers. The book is about a German U boat from world war two that ended up in New Jersey, or something like that. It's going to be a pretty interesting read and given that it's a true story, I can say that I'm going to enjoy it. I still have to pick it up from Belle Colledge Library when it gets there. I guess they don't have it on shelf and it's coming from a library branch in Lincoln.
After I cleaned up my messy desk, I found the the awesome pens one of my 13 year old students made me. Did all the craft work by herself. It's a work of art! I'm too afraid to even use it...
What's great about these pens are that they are refillable. Yay! No more having to throw a pen away since the fillers aren't available. One is even a mechanical pencil.
Yep, Summer is here. I'm glad the school year is over and I can relax. Strawberry Margaritas and the pool here I come!
Yes, I've done it. I've read half the books on my summer reading list.
It's time to start over and find other books to read.
I love the rain. I love the tip-tap-tip-tap sound against the windowpane. I love the clouds with a little bit of the sun peeking out. After living in the Valley of Northern California, I miss the coast. I miss the cool and moist weather year round.
After I finished my Friday chores, I sat down on one of the bar stools in the kitchen counter and watched the rain drops cascading down onto my swimming pool. I wonder if the rain would affect the pH of the pool. I made a mental note to Google it later and decided to make lunch.
I love cool weather lunches. I made tomato bisque, grilled cheese sandwich, and salad whilst trying to catch up on all the CSI shows I've missed during the week. I also got my summer reading list together.

I'm so addicted to the Twilight books. I received all four books for Christmas and I got started the next day in reading it. It's so hard to put it down and right now, I'm trying my hardest not to read another page. Yes, this book has dominated the reading selection in my briefcase.
