The Flutes
Why hello there Mr. Flute,
And how is the Mrs.?
Is she polishing her sides to fill with
Delicious bubbly at midnight?
You and the Mrs.
Clank together so perfectly,
Was it love at first sight in the box?
I hold you by your stem and
Get ready to raise you to the ceiling,
Don’t be scared of the height as
It is your time to shine!

Ah, how delightful to wake up and be surrounded by notification of new books to read! Particularly since I just posted yesterday about finding time to read even when you’re busy. By the way, thank you to everyone yesterday who offered additional tips in the comments section of the post. Feel free to browse the useful suggestions there.

It’s not a news flash that days fly by, particularly at the holidays. When one of your favorite pastimes is reading, it’s great to be able to make time for it. Books are great for teaching us about the world, escaping realities and even making us laugh. Unfortunately, it’s not always that easy to find the time to read… or so it seems. Between work, family and more, the minutes seem to go so fast. Here are some ways to find time to read even when you’re mega busy.

Yesterday was my best friend Nay’s birthday. And. She. Was.Turning. 30! Ohhhhh nooo…
So in true best friend style I had been planning for months to make this the best 30th birthday she could imagine. You only turn 30 once and it’s usually at this time of a woman’s life that the questions start to come… today was going to be too busy of a day to question (and that was the plan – to focus on what SHE loves and not what society deems you should have done by your 30).
