Doctor

I was looking through old notebooks from when I was very little and I found this in one of them:

DOCTOR

I would like to become a doctor because if you are a good doctor, you will get paid very well. But if you're a bad doctor, you're chances aren't so high.

There are good days for a doctor and there are bad days.
An example of a bad day is when you have to look inside someone's bottom. On a good day, you don't get a lot of patients.

Books, books, books

My friend Robin suggested that our little group of four should write a book. I think it's a great idea and it could be really interesting. I realize that writing a book is a huge project but I'm willing to give it a go. However, I want to read more books and write more before we write a book, even if it's not on my blog. I'm going to make a list of all the books I read this year and see how many I can read in a year.

I went to the library on Tuesday, December 22nd and took out 5 books:

- A Year in Europe by Rachel Hawthorne (finished it yesterday)
- Chicks with Sticks (Knitwise) by Elizabeth Lenhard (this is the one I'm reading right now, I'm really enjoying it since I like knitting and I have a group of four friends that I can somewhat relate to)
- Say Goodnight, Gracie by Julie Reece Deaver
- Where I Want to Be by Cara DeVito
- The Music of Dolphins by Karen Hesse
