Books in Our Home Library

Everywhere one goes to our home, reading materials can be seen. Magazines in the bathrooms and on the bedside table, cookbooks in the kitchen, children’s story books on the sofa, the paperback I am currently reading on the bed (lol!), countless e-books in the computers and different kinds of books in the library.

Here is one part of our home library. Pardon the clutter, the books keep piling up faster than I can organize these.

I have a thing about collecting an author’s books if I like what I have read. Among my collection are (my almost complete) Mary Higgins-Clark and her daughter Carol, David Baldacci, Michael Crichton, Richard North Patterson, David Kellerman, almost complete Archie McNally series by Lawrence Sanders, Dan Brown, Tom Clancy and Robert Ludlum, among others.

Oh, by the way, I don’t usually buy new books, I get these from bargain book stores. I only buy new books that come in series like the Harry Potter books.

Health Books Wanted

I have written about books in this post.

We do have books about different topics but I have noticed that we do not have a lot of books that has topics about health.

I had to resort to researching what the web has to offer when one time, my father talked about a certain kind of cancer that made his former bosses decide to strip the flooring of their offices many years ago.

It was in fact called Mesothelioma cancer and thanks to the web, we knew what it was called.

The offices had new tiles for the flooring because of the possible effect of the asbestos on the health of the people.

I wish employers are as considerate as what my father had while he was working.

And now I know what is missing in our library, health books.

Weight Talk

Whenever I see food photos, I feel like grabbing these yummy food and have a bite. Or two.

I am constantly telling myself about the need to eat healthier, well, i do but knowing about the many food saboteurs around me  doesn’t really help.

I remember someone who has been taking appetite suppressant as a way to not give in to the temptation of taking too much food.

Personally, I believe that self-discipline is one of the keys to keeping the weight off and with  everything else, change start with the self.

Open Your Mouth and Say “Ahhhh…”

My children need to visit a dentist soon. Some of their teeth need tending. We have been dentist shopping too for the last five years and have been to three dentists. Of course I wish to have a regular dentist to go to, whether he is a Plano Dentist or someone who is geographically closer to home.

I believe that dentists play a big role in teaching about oral hygiene and taking care of the teeth. For children, it is not easy to open their mouth and say “ahhh…” to strangers wearing masks and holding things for poking the mouth.

There should be a trust, a bonding that should develop first before they sit on that big dental chair 🙂
