Normally this is my favorite time of year, however this year I'm not as excited for it but I am trying. I love the cute costumes, the smells of fall, the colors of the leaves, and I even love the crispness of the air. (most of the time, lol) I think we're going to try and go see "Arsenic and Old Lace" tonight at the Heritage Theater. I absolutely adore this play. I know that we're going to my dad's and my mother in laws house, but Cameron is sick so we wont be going trick or treating.(Kelly is with his dad this year)
I was thinking of seeing if I could write a post roughly once every couple of weeks. Like on Thursday or something. I'm still not sure but I feel bad that I have been neglecting my blogging. My sister called last night and while she didn't really tell me anything new, because her days are pretty much the same, I was pretty shocked that I didn't really have anything new to tell her either. I like it when she calls because I know that it does her good to be able to talk with her family, but when I write her at least one letter a week it's hard to have as much news. She sounds good, and was in pretty good spirits so that's really good. She is still a non-smoker, (though I'm not 100% sure if that's cause she wants to be or because cigarettes cost 8.99 there) But she has also been drug free for over 2 years now. YAY for her!!
I've also decided that I am going to set a goal to read a certain amount of new books next year, as well as the few that I read every year. I love some books so much that I read them often. I thought about making it 50 books a year, but I am not sure I could read that many with all the stuff we always seem to have going on. So I was thinking maybe 30 books or maybe 34 books to go with my age. I am going to make sure that several of them are classics that I've never read before, as well as modern ones that I want to read. I will finish "The Count of Monte Cristo" by this time next year! It's really hard to get into. I am reading "Interview With the Vampire" and it's killing me to finish it. It really is. I liked the movie and all, but holy crap! This is one of those books that is so hard for me to read because I just don't care to examine every single emotion that Louis is feeling every time he feels it! I know that it's one of those depressing emotionally drawn books that lots of people just love, and it's a good story and I like it too, it's just not my cup of tea! I guess I prefer my books to be happier. I use books to get away for a few hours to live in a different world so I'd like that world to be a happy one. lol
So if you have a book you think should go on my list for next year, feel free to let me know and I might add it! :) I'll be sure and post my list when it's finished and then at the end of the year I'll see how well I did.
