Leisure Books.

I love to read. I love everything about books. The smell of the pages. Getting lost in the storyline. Everything. Currently I am caught up in "The Help". And I LOVE it. It's simply the best. It's my motivation to finishing my homework. Last night I stayed up (on a Friday night) and finished all my homework for the weekend just so I could read it for the rest of the weekend. Eeek! I want to be reading it right this second, but I'm blogging instead. I bet my readers like that! 


I would like to take this time to talk about how much reading is becoming "old timey". I think it is in a way, with all the upcoming technology at our fingertips (the play on words was intensional there). Now we have iPads, iPhones, Kindles, Nooks and so many other things to make having a book almost ancient. I will always use books. Yes, I have an iPhone but I will always prefer a book over a screen. Always. Nothing compares to a book in my book. (I am doing so great with my puns today). I hope books never go out of style though, but it sort of seems like they are. Which makes me really sad. I hope books will stay in style like a nice strand of pearls. Pearls will always be in style, I don't care what any high end fashion magazine has to say about that. They always will, ask any mom. Well except those really skinny and really tan moms who work out for a living, they might say otherwise but any other mommy wouldn't. Especially my mommy :) 


I hope after reading this blog about reading you feel inspired to read. You won't regret it, I can promise that. As long as you pick a classic book, one that won't go out of style like pearls. 


I will end with this quote, "A love of books, of holding a book, turning its pages, looking at its pictures, and living its fascination stories goes hand-in-hand with a love of learning"

Comedy.

I have previously posted about laughter, but seriously folks there is no way to get through life without laughter! I just ran into one of my friends who is hilarious. Yes, most of his comedy comes from jokes about other people but it was just what I needed! There is no way I could have made it through today without some laughter. So much to get done and so little time. I never understood why my mom would always say that, but now I get it. Sort of like the whole "You'll understand when you're older". Well, if that doesn't make me feel old I don't know what does. With the exception of freshman girls who haven't gone through puberty, or they have you just can't tell because they don't have enough body fat on them. I'll gladly lend them some of mine! The won't even have to return it! Man, suchhhh a deal. Anyways, to those of you who are reading this and you have found yourself drowning in a sea of "to-do's", just take a look at this picture and have yourself a laugh.

I assure you that you'll be entertained.

New Beginnings.

Long time no blog. How I have missed the sweet feeling of typing out my thoughts and epiphanies. As of few weeks ago, I am moved in! I have finished most everything, but of course it is going to take a few days to get completely settled in, which I have done thus far. (this blog was written the day after I moved in, but I had not yet posted it because it was incomplete and I only post perfected blogs for my readers)




However, I have only good feelings about this year. And I am certain good things are to come of twenty-eleven.  I am going to have a lot more comitments than last year, commitments that I have agreed upon nonetheless, but I am learning to take it slow. It's not in my job description to do everything, other people are just as capable of doing the same tasks that I would normally volunteer for. However, this year is different! I have restrained myself from taking on too many things that I need not do! So heres to a new semester with new beginnings and a less busy me! Of course this isn't going to come easy, but I am confident that the Lord will be able to calm my heart so that I am not a busy person with no time to spend with myself.  


I know the Lord is encouraging me to take things slow, to look inward and think about myself for once.  It's way too easy to worry about every else's problems, but when it comes to helping the person who's staring back at you in the mirror things become a little more difficult. An example: this bog has taken me about a month to finish. Hmm, that is sad and I am so sorry to have neglected you Blog. I started this Blog Post the day I moved in, right after my family had left and I am just now posting it. Man. Well, I am aiming to post at least every week! If not every two weeks, with either I would be doing good!
