as of RIGHT now...

a little overwhelming

I was emailing with a friend last week and I mentioned that I had over 90 books stacked next to my bed to read.  So I took a picture.

Before you think that I own some stock in Borders or Amazon.com I should explain that I belong to a site called paperbackswap.com that I get most of these books through. By posting books I've already read and shipping them off to others I get credit towards other books that I can keep or read and re-post.  In fact, a couple of these have already made their way on to others but I also just got 7 more books in the mail. Just when I think I've chipped away at the pile I get an influx of books from my wishlist...which is great...I'm just starting to worry that I will never get through this pile. This is one of the main reason's I've stopped watching television except for a few shows.  The fear that I will die before I get all my books read...

so when I wasn't around the past two months you can now see where I was....buried under a huge stack of books:)

(how do I consistently pick the one photo that won't post in these mosaics...grrr)

I don't have any excuse for being gone this long other than life got in the way. As did the cold winter weather. I dislike January and February the most of any of the months. How dark it is so early in the evenings. How cold it is even on days it looks like it should be warm. We did have a small heat wave a few weeks ago but even then I was trying to enjoy those brief few days and didn't  think about my blog.  Contrary to the impression I may give I do like having a blog. If only for me to remember what went on in my life over the month.

Like now.

 I sit here wanting to catch you up on my life for the past few months and I can't remember anything of any interest. Suffice to say i am still working out like a mad woman, still cooking most nights, still suffering the drama that is a teenage daughter, still facebooking everyday.  My husband and I took up geo caching again. We went through the loss of my daughter's first grandparent (on her dad's side). I've been working on invitation samples for my sister in law (wedding in August) but not really scrapbooking anymore. I've almost given up TV completely for reading instead.

So this is me... dipping my toe back into the blogosphere. Hopefully this time I can keep it up...
