Yesterday, Stephany talked about her reading habits. She tracked her reading for a week, and shared all the stats. The thing I found most interesting was that she’ll read in small increments- ten minutes, then a break, then another 10-20 minutes, then another break… and it all adds up to over an hour of reading per day.
My reading is the complete opposite! I love having a looooong time to really sink into a book. If I sat down to read for ten minutes, I’m afraid I would forget what I was doing and burn my dinner or be late for work.
As I mentioned, today I had to get new tires. I wasn’t sad about that, because I was able to walk over to a Starbucks and read for over an hour.
I got my “special” drink, the one I get if I don’t want a plain old Earl Grey. A London Fog is Earl Grey, milk (I get almond milk) and vanilla (I get one pump of the sugar-free vanilla syrup). I really enjoyed my reading time, finished my book and started a new one…
Let’s talk about TV watching. In a recent post, I mentioned that our antenna broke and we couldn’t get our local channels. Nance recommended the Mohu Leaf antenna. We got one, and it works GREAT! Thank you, Nance! Bring on the preseason football! Oh, and here’s where my husband positioned the antenna:
This is on the living room wall and one of the first things you see when you walk in our front door. When I complained, my husband seemed surprised- “Oh, you don’t want it there?” I’m pretty sure we can find a better place, but right now we’re just so happy to have our channels back, the antenna has not been moved.
Anyway! I went to Sprouts today and was delighted to see this display:
I bought this:
I’ll put it in my tea. Not Earl Grey- that would be gross. When I use a fancy creamer I just drink black tea.
Do you like to read for long periods or in short bursts?
Have you had any pumpkin spice yet?
