Book plugging

I just finished a book series called "The Song of Ice and Fire" by George R.R. Martin. Very good series full of knights, ladies, not-so-ladies, and Dragons. Now this is not you're regular sci-fi or fantasy series, it's actually more based on warring, politics, and with a wee bit of magic thrown in. I have to admitt when I first saw the books, I was a little leary due to the sheer size of each volume, that and the first book was reeeaaalllyyy boring, but then I relized why...foreshadowing.

This author is wonderful at setting up things, it makes you think, and then when you think you've got it, he blows it all to pieces and sends you running to the previous book to consult references....this is a series that you have to read the books at least twice so you can follow everything...most of the time you end up smacking your forehead in a "duh, I should have seen that coming" moment. It's really a fascinating read. I'm grateful that Heath pushed...er..I mean lent me those books! Now I have to wait up to a year until the next one comes out, oh well.

On other notes, I got very good reviews at work, I actually have to lowest stats right now on my team, which is good because you're stats are like, hold times, availability...etc. You want these thing to be low because it means that you're on the phone with customers instead of on hold and doing work avoidance. It made my day.

Heath and I went shopping yesterday morning before work, he had the unfortunate accident of falling on ice and ripping his pants, and I my ankle, it was quite funny accident, but, I digress. We went shopping and got him a couple things, but I had the wonderful experience of seeing him in jeans...*sigh*, we spent a great morning window shopping, watching holiday festivities and a languid lunch in front of a big window facing the main drag of downtown, still loving the holidays. I need to go shopping, I think I'll start doing that next week, by myself of course, Heath says he's actually getting me a christmas present (he says with a wink), I'm speechless...hmmm..must ponder more (tee-hee). Any way, all and all a fun experience. Well, more later, cheers!
