Following along with Boof’s 40 Day Challenge leading up to her 40th birthday, day 34:
34) A book I wish I had written
Hmmm. Good question. I wish I could write any book that is fun, intelligent, and succinctly written. I love words, especially well-chosen and clever words. And I love books that leave you with a smile on your face and a lingering good feeling. I haven’t ever written a story before, but I have written some poems, song lyrics (adapted to familiar tunes), and some good haikus. I’ve written long, rambling letters and cute, pithy slogans. But what do I wish I could write? I guess this is worth more consideration, as I’d love to write something, and at this point I’m happy with blogging.
#34 of my list was: Eat more ethnic foods. And so I have! I’ve always loved going out for Mexican or Chinese food, as well as preparing both. Since I wrote this on my list, I’ve eaten Spanish tapas, Vietnamese quite a few times, and found that I LOVE Indian. Since I wrote this list I also made it a personal goal to avoid chain restaurants as much as possible, especially when traveling, seeking out new places to try.
Off to read!

For the most part I avoid chains. There are some local chains that I like but I go to few national chains.
