108. I cannot live without reading
I look forward to the commute home at night on the metro because it means I can read for at least half an hour without the 7 year old needing mommy or my husband giving me disapproving glances because I've got my nose in a book. If I sit down to read, he gets upset because it means I will get absorbed in the book and not listen to him prattle on about World War I or trains. Sorry honey - I've got a degree in Military History and am so over WW I that it's not funny. I love the few weekends a year that he goes away to his Civil War group because it means I can read at the dinner table and only have to deal with the 7 year old.
