This weekend while raking leaves, I realized that I should have taken the time to download a new book onto my mp3 player… I could have totally been multi-tasking and I blew it! It’s not like you really need to concentrate on raking, it just sort of happens. Right? So I’m still a little mad at myself for missing a prime listening opportunity, but I won’t let it happen again. I’ve already given some thought as to what I’m going to “check out” from our digital media collection (the audio options, not the film or ebook options) and I’ll be ready for my next lawn care extravaganza. Maybe I’ll try to listen to one of these:
I Can See You Karen Rose
Revolutionary Road by Richard Yates
Switch by Carol Snow
A Quilter’s Holiday by Jennifer Chiaverini
The Book of the Shepherd: The Story of One Simple Prayer and How it Changed the World by Joann Davis
Little Bird of Heaven by Joyce Carol Oates
Dead Irish by John Lescroart
The Ox-bow Incident by Walter Van Tilberg Clark
How about you? What are you going to do next time you’re forced to rake? Or weed? Or -gasp!- shovel snow? I know *I’ll* be ready!
