So much for Everyday

I intended to make blogging an everyday occurance.  A journal if you will.  After a few posts I realized that 1. it would be time consuming, 2. something interesting doesn't happen everyday and 3. the blogging actually worked in jump starting my writing and my ablitity to get somewhat back on track with keeping a schedule.  Usually the most interesting of comments or incidents can be compacted into a Facebook status and do not require a full blog. 

I am proud to announce that since my last blog I have read two books and completed the first chapter of the book I am writing.  I am not much of a reader, but would really like to get into the habit of reading for pleasure.  While I was in school, that thought never occured to me that I would grow up to be one of "those" kind of people who read books.  I hated to read the ones assigned and never read a book on my own.  I have a sinister purpose for the extra reading right now.  I really want a Nook for either Valentine's Day or my anniversary.  The hint has been dropped to my husband who really just wishes that I would share my daughters Nook, so I figured if I kept buying books and read them to have a stack of read book laying around, he would see the cost effectiveness of buying me one since books are 50-75% cheaper when you buy them electronically and sometimes are even free.  

But alas, even though I am proud of myself for reading more, and I am slowly getting motivation to get my "to do lists" attempted everyday; the reading has somewhat replaced the online games.  I thought I would have withdraw from them, but without seeing posts from everyone else playing them, I haven't even thought about them and I certainly do not miss them one bit.  I will gladly accept reading as my new vice over computer stuff anyday.  I am still struggling to get back into the "groove" of things.  The weather within the next few weeks should start to heat back up slightly and I am hoping my winter blues will be over and I will be back on top of my game.
