Phew...

Alright, I will admit it, I suck! I have been really bad at getting my stuff done. My work at home is piling up and the work at work is not much different. I have become very forgetful lately and have gone some days forgetting that I need to use the ladies room periodically. This is not something that is good when you have a funky bladder.


But I accomplished something this past weekend that I didn’t think that I would do.

I finished reading a book. This book has been sitting on the end of my bed for the last few months. I read a little and then put it down. Finally all 737 pages have been read. My opinion? No, no opinion here, this is pure fact. I will never read another damn book if it has been on Oprah’s list of books to read.

She sucks more than me. I just spent three months choking down the second book that she recommended about hell on earth.

This book that I just read will remain a mystery to most, unless you are on my “goodreads list”, but let me tell you this. I know that life sucks for a lot of people. I have been that mom trying to make ends meet when the car breaks down while sitting on a thread bare couch. I also realized that this book was meant to be a depiction in earlier times but that doesn’t change the fact that the whole town was messed up.

I have read many posts about New Year’s resolutions and have seen many posts on “crack”book about what people are setting their goals for the year 2011. I can tell you now that there will be none of that from me.

I will however pick up the other two books that are on my bed and start reading again.

I have never read an Oprah book - they are always so dismal and depressing. I go for escapism Baby!

What were the other books?

I despise that Oprah and wouldn't know what is on her book list anyway.

I'm still trying to find the time to ready the freaking daily paper!! :)
