i'm old.

i think i am officially old.  i have found a new love in life... books on tape cd (wrong era).  i listen to it in the car, on the computer, while i'm making dinner, during conference calls.  seriously, the other day i had to be on a conference call and i had a book on tape in my earbud.  not going to lie.  a) the call was pointless (for me) and b) the book was so much more entertaining.

as if having bifocals didn't make me old enough....

but it is so nice to be able to lay in bed with my eyes closed and hear a story being read to me.  it takes me back to my childhood when my parents would read to me or my babysitting days when i'd read to the kids.  there is something so relaxing about hearing a story read aloud and letting your imagination go wild.  i love reading, i love watching movies, but i think books on tape cd are the best of both worlds (once you get past the reader's voice...).

...and you know you're an ed major when you almost turn this post into a lecture about improving literacy in young adults.  i think it's best that i end this post...

...now.
