Om migI read too much. And I take too many pictures. And I listen to music almost constantly [except for when I'm reading]. And I'm excellent at writing first-person declarative sentences.

When I'm not reading, I'm probably playing with my puppy, a sweet little German Shepherd. Or maybe I'm watching a hockey game or playing video games [I'm a diehard Nintendo kind of girl]. But what I should be doing is running, because I'm supposed to be training for my first marathon. Or, if not running, then I should be studying for my broker's exam, because work is important: it enables me to buy books and dog toys.

One of my main goals in life is to open a bakery and live happily ever after.

In 2009 I'm going to try something new, as my TBR pile is huge and threatening to take over the world: I've pledged not to purchase a single book for myself. And for every book that I do read, I'm going to put $5 aside. At the end of the year, I'm going to make donations to two groups:

-- the Canine Genetics Research group at Texas A&M University to support their EPI research in honor of my previous pup, an EPI girl, and

-- the Animal Care and Assistance Fund, a new, non-profit extension of the Pittsburgh Veterinary Specialty and Emergency Center, a practice that took outstanding care of my girl when she was diagnosed with high-grade canine lymphoma.

I've started a new website, http://www.outsideadog.com/, to keep me on task and accept recommendations for new things to read. Come visit!

I'm also trying to read at least 75 books this year [in 2008, I managed 87, hooray!] -- my 'keep track of things' thread is here.

Om mitt bibliotekI tend to catalogue everything I read, whether I've borrowed it or bought it. I don't delete books from my library once I've sent them along to homes that will enjoy them more than I have, because I know that one day I'm going to drive myself crazy trying to remember that book I read that time about that person, and the cover had that thing on it....

Lately I've taken to also including books that I intend to read. It's a better system than my current one, which is simply scraps of paper with scribbles on them.
