All I want for Christmas…
My Christmas wish list has dwindled to two items: Shrek on DVD and the new Apple iPod. I’ve got to get this. Now if only it were about half the price, that might be realistic. Unfortunately, although we’re not poor by any stretch of the imagination, $400 on a new gadget is just plain silly. But I still want it!

I should not be allowed to read on weeknights. I’m reading Lord of the Rings, and last night I didn’t go to sleep until sometime after midnight. I knew it was time to put the book down when I had to re-read a sentence four times just to have it register… As I’m already somewhat sleep-deprived, reading is a very bad habit for me. Maybe I should try to limit it to one chapter at a time – except then I’d never finish the book before the movie comes out! I’m almost done with book one, and the movie covers books one and two. I guess I’ll be able to get some sleep in a couple of weeks…if I don’t find another bad habit to replace reading with…or another book to read…
