I think I have A.D.D. when it comes to reading.  The last book I read cover to cover was in 2007.  From there I vowed to read Treasure Island....I have tried....I have read the first 10 pages like 5 different times and I just can NOT do it. 

From there I read half of Northhanger Abby.  That I was interested in, but I never have the time to complete.  So then something else caught my eye...this time it was The Little White Horse.  I heard it was being made into a movie and it was a classic favorite of famous author's like Rawlings so I thought I should read that before I see the movie.  Again...I was into it, but then it disappeared.  My husband stuck it in the book shelf after he found my daughter walking around with it and I forgot about it....next up is a book I'm enjoying a lot, and will finish...it's Dr. Denis Leary's Why We Suck.  I am laughing out loud and being insulted all at the same time.  It's great.  So I am quite literally on page 100 of that and guess what happens....?  I actually have time to print up stuff that I have been working on!

So now I love the sound of my own words so much that every thing else just falls by the way side.  I try so hard to listen when people talk...and although I know I talk over them a lot, I do try not to.  I try not to be a big talker....but I am a big writer....I mean my God, what am I doing right now...?  I'm rambling on about something that NO ONE besides me even cares about....but I'm still going, aren't I?  It turns out that I do like the sound of my own voice....I just mascaraed it with print!

So I have a new copy, of my next book printed to read through and do one last edit....I wish I could say I was caught up in that, but I'm actually not.  I also had printed my letter to my daughter from her first year of life.  I read through those first....cried through some...laughed through some.  I think she will really find them a great treasure when she is older.  After getting quickly through those, I went to the "big" thing I had been waiting for to receive in print...my 2008 blog!  Yes that's right, it's in book form..can you believe it?  It turned out to be 476 pages in 6x9 format.  That is taking some time...but I can't put it down...what does that say about me?  I'm reading it with a pen, so I can fix spelling and grammatical errors and have re-printed for my own collection.  It's my journal.  I hope someday that Ellen will enjoy that as well when she is grown....or when I'm dead and gone, at least she'll be able to know who her mom really was.I mean that's why I write the Life Lessons amongst other stuff right....so that she can know who I was and who I wished she would be.  The other stuff is just because it jumps into my very confused, very simple, and quirky mind.

So soon my 2008 blog will be edited and available for purchase...why you would buy it, I have no idea....but some people do.  I know I am enjoying it.  I like my own screwed up journey....but like I said before......I like the sound of my own words.
