Random Thoughts

First a confession, I am reading Lauren Conrad's young adult novel L.A. Candy and I hate to say it but I am really enjoying it.  So much that I will most likely read her sequel and any others that come out in the series.  We all have to have our guilty pleasures, right?  Actually it's to the point where I have Tess Gerritsen's new book waiting for me and I don't want to stop reading this one- Tess Gerritsen is one of my favorite authors and I look forward to when she publishes a new book.  So it is kind of scaring me that I am not super excited to drop the current book and lunge into Gerritsen's new one.  What are my literary interests coming to?

And another confession, I have had my Droid X phone for a few months now and I was super excited to be getting it, but do you think I have used it to its full potential yet?  No.  I have limited myself to reading email, blogs, facebook posts, and newspapers.  Why am I not taking advantage of all the cool apps?  Tonight will be download a bunch of fun apps on my phone night since I need to justify having such a great phone and using very little of its capabilities.

This Saturday I am taking the little girl I mentor to the Palm Beach Zoo and I don't know who is more excited about this.  What could be better than spending the day at the zoo especially when they just got an exhibit of koala bears!  Be on the lookout for lots of pictures of the adorable animals. 

I'm Home!

Actually I have been home for a few days but I just got a chance to sit down to write this post after trying to catch up at work and getting past a cold that kept me in bed for most of the weekend. Although I had a fabulous time in San Diego, I am so glad to be home. The weather was cooler there than I had expected- didn't I hear somewhere that San Diego is eighty degrees all year long? I guess not since it was in the fifties and sixties the whole time. The conference was very informative, especially the full day pre-conference I attended on Friday and it was so amazing to actually be there live when the Newbery and Caldecott award winners were announced. Since our flight was canceled because of the snow in Atlanta, we had an extra day to go to the San Diego zoo on Monday. The best part about the zoo was seeing the polar bears playing underwater. I even got this great video of this with my phone:
