I KNOW, I KNOW
11 06 2007I have not forgotten that I have a blog. I promise. Work has been so crazy lately that I haven’t had time to even think of blogging. By the time we make it home at the end of the day and I get all my evening chores done, I’m pooped. Things should be slowing down around here by next week (I hope). The good news is that one of my microscopy images has been selected for the cover of the July issue of Cellular Microbiology. I am super excited about this and I actually won’t believe it until I see the journal in my hands.
I do have things to blog about, like my plan to be a tourist in my own state this summer. The Sunday paper had a “passport to Oklahoma� section in it a few weeks ago. It consists of a map and a bunch of different Oklahoma attractions. If you get nine or more stamps before Labor Day you could win the grand prize. I am determined to get at least nine stamps. I figure each time I go to one of the destinations on the map, the more I have to blog about. I only have one stamp so far (Remington Park), but the summer is young and I plan on roping my best friend Steph into this project. She just doesn’t know it yet.
And I know I could do a whole entry just on my summer reading list. I just finished Laurie Notaro’s new book and I’m in the middle of reading A Civil Action. I have a big stack of books just waiting for me to get to them on my desk. I should list them. I always wonder why our library only has a summer reading program for kids. Remember those? If you read a certain amount of books, you would get something like pizza or ice cream. They should do that for grownups too.
Oh, I would so travel around Oklahoma with you. But since I can’t do that, I’ll be in a summer reading club with you. I just got the new book by the guy who wrote the Kite Runner. Did you read that one? I’m going to order to the Notaro book you mentioned.
I haven’t read that one yet, but it’s on my list. I really liked the Kite Runner. I’m thinking about joining a book swap group. I just haven’t had the time to check out any of them yet.
Depending where your library is located — some do have summer reading programs for adults.
I am glad to hear you are going to check out our/Frontier Country’s Centennial Passport program this year. Keep us updated and send us some pics of your travels so we can post them on our Site.
You’re it!
