Project 365 – #175 I don’t drink coffee. I very rarely drink tea. The one thing I enjoy is my Dr. Pepper. Healthy? Nope. Enjoyable? Absolutely. 😉 I wonder if they still make Dr. Pepper in glass bottles and/or with real sugar. Mmmm…. That would be really yummy.

Project 365 – #172 It’s very rare (other than when we’re on vacation) that I get to sit down and just read for any length of time. I do read at night, but I have to be careful not to get caught up in the book as I’ll end up staying up way too late. I very much enjoy getting caught up in a good book. The one plus of not feeling all that grand is that I am able to just rest and read. Munchkin worked on her schoolwork while I enjoyed reading a book. She came in after…
