Gotta book and a gift idea for kids...

Man it was tough to get back into the groove today after being off for 5 days! Since we gave a math formative today it was a little easier to "ease" back into the swing of things. I did get up at 5:30 and go for a run this morning before work. I am trying to fit more morning workouts in so I don't have to do too many nighttime workouts like I have been doing.

Well I got to school and one of the book storage rooms is connected to my room and I found some copies of the first "Harry Potter" book so I am borrowing it and finally gonna read it! Then I am hoping to hit the used book store in the next couple of weeks to see what else they have in my new obsession with YA books! :)

I saw this gift idea in our newspaper online, Charlotte Observer, they are called Rory's Story Cubes and this is how they described them:

"There are nine cubes, each with an image on every side. Simply roll the dice and let your imagination run wild. Play solitaire or grab a group for play; there are no rules. You can also use this game for icebreakers, party games, restaurant waiting, etc. Recommended for children ages 8-12, but I tried it with my 5-year old, who did just fine. When we are so bombarded with technology, sometimes simple can be a necessity. Buy online at www.storycubes.com."


I think these would be a great gift for a kid! They need to use their imagination more! But have no fears....I checked out the website and there is now an app for this too! Also looks like the cubes are $9.99 so in a good price range too.


Well I am off to maybe read and then bed...I am tired today!
