I am a 45 year old suburban housewife and mother, no, that's not it. I am a teaching professional in the area of Family and Consumer Sciences, leading my department from home economics to career education. Also working on various committee's within my district to better the learning environment for our students. I am many different people doing many different things. Last November my husband and I celebrated our 21st wedding anniversary. We have two lovely daughters, 17 and 19. My oldest daughter is still living at home and attending Longview. My youngest daughter is a junior in high school and very active in extra curricular activities there. She is part of the Golden Regiment (the marching band). You may have seen them in the MACY's THANKSGIVING DAY PARADE this year. We all had the wonderful opportunity to be in New York over the Thanksgiving holiday. Now she is a varisty swimmer for Blue Springs and we are spending a lot of our family time either cheering on the swimmers, or feeding them:) I enjoy going to the gym for a spin or yoga class and cooking in my free time. An interesting fact about myself is that I have been a vegetarian for 9 years.

I honestly can't remember the last book I read. It could have been the 5th book in the Harry Potter series. Those books are so well written and just plain fun! These are books that the whole family has read and we have fun discussing them at dinner. I remember every year when my husband and one of both daughters will go to the midnight release and purchase the new book. Then comes the bickering and stealing of that one copy. Fun memories.

I do agree with Steve Jobs, with all of the choices of entertainment reading is on the decline. When I searched amazon for this book I was first feed the book on CD and the DVD movie. I had to go back to the main menu to find the book.
