In an effort to direct my mind away from my baby making failure I've decided I'm going to read 50 books this year. Last year I read, but not was much as I normally do and I think it's because of school so I have a valid excuse. But I'm done with school in June and reading has always been away for me to escape from my problems and go off to another place. So I've set this 50 book goal.
The books will be a little bit of everything, because I don't want to limit myself or make it feel like chore. So 7 days into 2010 I've already read 2 books, the second one I read I finished in a week it was that good. So now I'm starting the Soosie Stackhouse series, the books that the True Blood TV series is based on. I'm super excited, haven't read a good vampire series since Twilight. The series is 8 books long but I'm sure they'll take me a bit since I'll also be fitting in 2 online classes for school.
Here's hoping I hit my mark by the end of the year.

Good Books
Sometimes when I'm in a really bad place I tend to sit and look back at all the things I haven't done in my life. Yup, that's right I throw myself a pity party for 1 b/c really I don't need anyone to revel in my failures. However, I just finished a book, Firefly Lane by Kristin Hannah, that reminded me to take stock in all the things I have done. I have a college degree, a husband that I adore and a step-son I'm proud of. My family, for all their drama, is my light at the end of a dark tunnel and my friends, the family I got to pick, keep me grounded and remind me of who I am. I may not be a size 3 or a big corporate lawyer, but I have job that pays my bills and a roof over my head. Sure I can be a negative Nancy but all in all my life's not half bad.
Something else that Firefly Lane made me think of is how much a girl needs a best friend. However, a true best friend doesn't have to be consant in your everyday life to be constant in your everyday heart. We're about 2-months out from my best friend moving across the country and it's this that has kind of help me come to terms with her leaving. She'll only be gone about 2-years and it's only about $230 to fly out there. So I'll settle on this and hold on to it. The next 8-weeks will go quicker that I could ever imagine but we'll make them count.
