Yes, I am reading again. And surprisingly enough, I am reading novels. I say surprisingly because it’s been a long time since I was enamored with fiction.
The last time I read a novel non stop was during my Twilight obsession. I read all four books in a span of a week I think. More often than not though, I usually favored personal development and self help non – fiction because I found them practical and well, helpful.
But now that I am aiming to do things simply for the sheer enjoyment of it, I found myself reading novels again just for the adventure.
I’ve already finished “Before Ever After” and now I’m halfway through “The Time Traveler’s Wife.” I am so in love now with the time travel – love story – immortal plot. I’m actually already thinking of what book I should read next.
One book down in one month is something I would consider an accomplishment. The only thing I have to deal with are the slight headaches which means I definitely have to use my reading glasses again. Hello Lola.
It’s the fourth week of January, how have you been?
As you can imagine, it has been a whirlwind of events since November what with the holidays and my training. December seemed to whiz by so fast filled with food, presents, kids toys, and more food.
And I am grateful our 2012 was off to a good start. We celebrated the New Year quietly, simply valuing the fact that we are all together and everyone in the family is healthy, happy and loved.
I just thought of dropping by and dusting off this blog a bit. This is my busiest week so far and I should be sleeping. But blogging is my therapy and I want to empty my head so I can keep my focus and my sanity.
I’ve set my goals for this year and one of my major themes is to do what feels good to me. Do more of the things that I enjoy.
I’m acting by inspiration and I am loving every minute of it.
I know they’re not the healthiest food in the world, but I like eating turkey spam. They actually taste good enough for breakfast, especially if you pair it with scrambled eggs and steaming hot rice.
That kind of spam I like.
But there are two kinds of spam, I really dislike: email spam and comment spam.
The email spam, I am kind of used to. While some spam mails can sneak into my inbox from time to time, Gmail has some good filters in place which minimizes the headache of deleting them.
As for the comment spam, well they’ve gotten smart. I read comments in the queue that seem to be made by real persons with real sounding names. Some of the comments even look intelligent. But when I check their website link, I see the usual sites that promote viagra and some other weird sounding meds. I guess we all know what that means.
Sometimes I am more lenient like when the links lead to websites about handmade crafts or free dating tips or some other harmless topic. But they are more the exception than the norm.
I appreciate everyone who comes to my site whether it was intentional or accidental, I appreciate the ones who comment even more. But if you’re going to link to a spam site, do yourself and me a favor and just comment somewhere else.
I like eating spam but I don’t like reading it.
Can you tell sleeping has been on my mind a lot lately? I’m loving these Ann Gish sheets right here. Looks perfect to snuggle and sleep in. But I doubt this would survive the jumping, tumbling and sliding treatment from my girls.
Most of our sheets are actually threadbare and torn in a lot of places but I think I’ll wait awhile before we buy new ones. At least until the kids stop thinking our bed is a trampoline.
Our bed has been my bestfriend for the past weeks. And that explains why I was hardly able to complete the 30 – day blogging challenge. Truth is, the moment my body hits the bed, I’m gone. Much as I would like to get up again to blog after the kids fall asleep, I’m lost in lalaland until the sun shines through our bedroom window.
I’ll keep writing but I’ll give up on the challenge. For now. We’ll see when I’ll have enough guts to do this challenge again.
Now my bed is calling and I better sleep.
