time...

it really seems to get away from me these days. especially when there are sick folks everywhere i turn. and those same said sick folks keep me up with their coughing-from-their-toes at night. and because of it, i have taken to reading. folks...i need to confess. i have an addiction. i LURVE to read. i go through cycles. i typically get sucked into an "author" or a series that i can't put down. (do we really need to mention twilight again? ok...yes, we do. my whole family is feeding into my slight addiction. my stepmom bought me a new moon calendar. january is officially a good month on my fridge.) anyway, right now, due to being up at night, i have been voraciously reading. i get it honestly from my mom, and her mom. i mean, i have never seen them have a meal without a book in their hand. promise. and i always have something on my nightstand that is just waiting on me. do yall do that? (and yes, my reading preferences are pretty eclectic...like my taste in music. it's just about what moves me at the time.)

anyway, because i have been reading things other than blogs, i am waaaaaaay backed up. i mean WAY!! (please don't come to my house today b/c it is rank and where normally i'd offer you some sweet tea or hot chocolate or left over santa cookies...it just wouldn't happen today!) when i checked my google reader, i had 223 unread things waiting on me. um....i used to live for my google reader. i obviously haven't checked it in about a week. so i started today by whittling it down by going ahead and deleting all things decorative (except for Urban Grace of course...missing that kind of eye candy would be sacrilege) and by deleting folks that i stalk that i don't actually know (know as in, i haven't left them a comment. cause i consider us officially "friends" if i leave you a comment. i mean, you feel the same about me, right??)

so, this year, my plan is simple. stay on top of things. balance..........(are you laughing? i'm kinda laughing.) but, i DO plan to be better about my blog. while mine is mainly to keep up with friends and family, i DO love to try to be somewhat witty and charming, and sometimes i'm not feeling it and i hate to bore you to death. and so my lovelies, i bid you farewell for this new year's day. i'm gonna get caught up over the weekend and start monday with hopefully something new for you. (beware, i may resort to a great big picture dump if i can't find anything to say lol!)

i've missed your wittiness! hope you all are on the mend. i am anxious to get into some good books myself. one of the best things about being in a house is that i can now go get my library card. cannot wait!
