Last night Dallas and I went to see Tributosaurus play at Martyrs’ with about 15 of our friends. This was my view (on the right). Mostly Christmas decorations with the band in the background! HA.
Tributosaurus plays at Martyrs’ the first Wednesday of every month and they assume the identity of a new band every month. Dallas has seen them play as Hall & Oates. A bunch of our friends went to see them when they were Michael Jackson. Next month they’re doing Prince. Last night they were Tom Petty. I can’t say I’m a big Tom Petty fan, but there were a lot of songs that I knew. Also cool last night was that Liz’s brother Greg was in town from LA and sat in and played with the band. He killed on guitar!
I had fun last night, but I’d love to go back and see Tributosaurus again when they play as an artist I love.

This year I read 34 books, which is a record for me. More than I’ve read each of the previous 5 years, at least. I’m not really sure how it happened. I thought last year’s record was because I had the summer off, but I for sure didn’t have the summer off this year! Maybe I just read shorter books this year.
Here’s what I read in past years:
This year I also stopped holding on to a lot of books. I’ve been keeping the ones I really like, or that I think I might read again, but all the others I’ve been selling on Half.com. Gets rid of the clutter and adds a little money to my wallet. Win win.
Here are all of the books I read in 2009:

Robert B. Parker has written a series of mystery books starring Jesse Stone. I thought I’d try one out and see how I liked it, since I’m a sucker for a good mystery. This was not the best book, but I stayed interested and flew through it in 2 days. Easy read. Felt kind of like it was for older people, though.

Book 4 in the Twilight Series. I didn’t enjoy it that much. Maybe because the movie version of New Moon was getting so much hype at the same time. Glad to be done with the series.

Jessica, my mom and I played a game called Pretty Pretty Princess. Jess loved this game so we played along. You spin a spinner, move squares on a board and collect jewelry and a crown. The first person to get all of their jewelry (2 earrings, a necklace, a bracelet, a ring), plus the crown (there’s only one crown in the game) wins. Guess who won?
