Come Together....

While talking with my sister Kim over the weekend, she and I both came to a few realizations that I knew but just didn’t want to admit. I love literature. I love to read. I love to curl up with a good book and finish it in one sitting. In fact, when I first fell in love with my husband, we were reading “Hannibal” to each other in bed. It was wonderful. However, times have changed. Along with stretchmarks and fundraisers, I gained less “me” time and I have to admit that I have not finished a book in almost 4 years. I also never have the door closed when I pee, but that is another story. WOW! I hate myself right about now.

Well, I am starting a resolution in this the first full week of my 37th year. I vow to read a book every month and let you know about it. It won’t be easy, but I will do it. If I have to lock myself in a closet with a flashlight and some Fiddle Faddle, I will do it.

To help me with this promise, I was at Barnes & Noble on Saturday and purchased 2 books. I will start reading “Why Men Marry Bitches” tonight and hopefully, fingers crossed everyone, I will blog about it on December 26, 2007. I am always interested in finding ways to better myself, along with the occasional belly laugh. Careful, I am still recuperating.

I would love for you all to join me. No, I am not starting Oprah’s Book Club, rather I would like to know what you are reading, besides the People Magazine in the bathroom. Let me know what you would like me to read. I will definitely take suggestions.

So, wish me luck. Did I mention that I will be getting my new glasses this weekend, too? So not only will I be reading, but I will actually be able to see the print.

Mirth & Merriment…..turn the page!
