Five more days!

It's November 25 and I am feelin' it. I am really starting to feel the strain of the daily blog requirement. I am a pretty regular blogger anyway, but it is starting to feel like a chore and I will be glad when the month is over and the pressure is off. I'm having a hard time coming up with anything meaningful to write. That being said, Zelda posted a meme today and I am most grateful. Here goes:

Bold the ones you’ve read

italicize the ones you want to read
cross out the ones you won’t touch with a 10 foot pole
