What a month April has been!! I am beyond ready for April to be over. This has nothing to do with the fact that I'll be leaving for vacation on May 1st. Working in a library during tax season is like volunteering for dental work. I think we should go through an IRS training course. Customers are in need of free advice and paperwork. We have neither. We cannot offer advice or understanding of the forms, instructions, or tax tables and the forms we do have must be coped and paid for. The forms for copying only include the federal forms. State forms can only be printed from the Internet. April is also national humor and poetry month. The humor part I can understand, everyone needs a little humor to deal with the stress of taxes. Poetry is another issue. I am not a fan of poetry, not even my own bad poetry written to express my angst and heartbreak. I believe that poetry is personal and only the author understands the full meaning.
Enough about April, how about me? Well, I'm still listening to romance thrillers in my car, enjoying my odd selection from Netflix, and spending money at the lovely Ann Taylor Loft. I love that store!! I did go to the Fern Bank Museum but it was not what I expected. There were a few schools visiting that day also and the museum really is geared more toward a younger crowd. Also, while waiting in line to purchase my ticket a roach fell on my arm!!! I cringed for hours. The gift shop had some unique jewelry but it was too pricey for me. I saw the movie
Dan in Real Life which I loved, and I watched a very dissapointing mini-series called The
10th Kingdom.
I'm reading
Lucky You by Carl Hiaasen. It's caught my interest but I wouldn't say it's a page turner. I'm going to check out some really cheezy romances for my beach vacation. I'll be sure to take post worthy pictures and try not to spend too much money.

April is also Shakespeare's birth month - April 23, I think, is supposedly his birthday.
Have fun on your vacation! Have you read the Twilight series yet? A friend of mine recommended it to me, and I've found it somewhat addictive. It's a horror-romance-YA-series, and there's a movie version coming out in December. Other beach reads you should check out: The Time Traveler's Wife, Good in Bed, and Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict.
I've read two of Carl Hiaasen's YA novels - Hoot and Flush. Both were very funny and entertaining; check them out before you give up on him completely. :)
