BTT - Showing off in public


Today's question is about carrying books in public.  Do you hide or show off your covers?

In the world of eReaders, iPads , etc I think that more people are carrying "books" around.  I used to carry my Nook everywhere, but I was always leaving it in the car and the battery would die and then I wouldn't have the right charger with me and so on.  Now I mostly leave my Nook in my bedroom so that I can read in bed without disturbing my husband. (It's a Nook Color)
I do carry a book in the car at all times though.  I don't hide the cover, but I also don't like to leave it out on the seat to get faded in the sun.
The book in my car was given to me by my friend April.  I forget the name of it, but it's a christian book.  To be honest I am having a hard time getting into it, and having it in the car doesn't really help.  I will read it though!

What are you reading right now?  Are you hiding the cover?

Terrific Tuesday

Terrific Tuesday!

My terrific Tuesday started early today. Maxx (DH's dog) decided that he had had enough of the kennel for one night & woke us up with his barking a bit before 4AM. Normally I would have been angry, but I was done sleeping & looking forward to being awake to see my son off to school. I rarely get up early enough to help him out in the morning, it's a good thing he is so independant! DH & I decided to start the day off with a movie. We watched The Invention of Lying. It was pretty good, but not something I would could watch over & over & over. We ate pizza for breakfast too. It was like being back in high school - watching movies & eating pizza!

The kids both got off to school with little to no problems!!! WooHoo!!!
We decided to take that opportunity to get a little essential shopping done ( we were out of milk ). Thankfully, we got a parking spot right up front, there was no waiting at the register & we were pulling out of our premium parking spot right as the bus from the retirement community was pulling in! It was a great morning!

I decided I needed to get off my feet when we got home, so I set up my laptop and my pillows in my bedroom & watched The Secret Life Of An American Teenager and House and fell asleep for a little nap. DH woke me up from my nap with a package I got from a swap I was in. A small One Rate box filled with goodies! Then SAW got home from school & helped my with the dishes & some other chorse. After Bug got home we all went to the library & filled out library bag with some great movies & books! Off to the Bowling Alley accross the street for a quick bite to eat & then to Bug's school for Family Reading night & dessert (free cookies & hot chocolate).

It was a great day - so far... Little did I know that there was more Terrific Tuesday to come!
Hopping online to check what's up on Swap-Bot I see that I got a response from the Founder of a coupon group I am in about a swap I wanted to do. Suprise Suprise! She made me an officer! Woo Hoo! So I am off to start my first group swap. Wish me luck!

How was YOUR Terrific Tuesday???
