I should have spent my afternoon working. I have a project that I can’t imagine is going to be done on time unless I live and breathe it for the next three weeks. What did I do instead? I read more of the 800 page book I randomly decided to start reading this week.
I have never claimed to be smart. And, if I did, I take it back.
Reading is definitely an escape for me. During finals week in college I would read four or five fiction books while I should have been studying. Honestly, I sometimes wonder how I managed to make it through college without flunking at least one class…
Anyway. I still should be working. But that book is calling to me and the best thing I can do is probably knock it out so I have nothing to focus on but work. (Oh boy, oh boy. I can’t wait for that…)
(And note that we aren’t even discussing the fact that it’s a Saturday night here and I’m going to spend it reading a book rather than interacting with fellow members of my species.)

I am constantly trying to read MORE. I can’t seem to get enough time unless I start taking the bus more often. I guess I do read a lot, but it’s a lot of blogs and computer stuff..I miss the books! Maybe I’ll start using it as my main way to procrastinate or avoid working..then perhaps I’ll start to find time to do it? Hmm..
I kind of go in fits and starts. If I make the mistake of picking up a good book, then I find myself reading at all kinds of random times during the day. But if I’m stuck in the middle of a boring book, then I can go weeks without reading much.
I have noticed that my blog and computer time has definitely increased in recent years and I’m not sure that’s a good thing. It’s kind of like trying to live on candy corn…
Hahahaha well, I really like the white part of the candy corn the best. But there is so little of it in each one. I learned to love the yellow top too, because it has the best texture, but the orange is icky. And I feel that maybe such mentality has followed me into blogging..there are some blogs that are like the little rare white part of the candy corn, some that are the awesome yellow part, and a lot that are the orange…Facebook and twitter are mostly orange…
