Here's the thing...I love to read books. There is nothing better than a great book. One that can make you think about life or bring you to tears or make you smile and laugh. I love a good book!!
But...even when I have a good book to read and am really enjoying it, I will turn on the TV. I will waste so much time just watching needless stuff. It's really bad...it's crazy.
It all started this morning, I was walking around the library gathering books that I wanted and thinking "I shouldn't take too many because I will never read them all in the amount of time the library lets me keep them". Then I thought, "well that's only because you watch TV too much". Oh...sometimes those little men (lil' good guy-lil' bad guy) on your shoulder really point out important things.
So I can to the only rational decision...
I am turning off the "tube".
For one week, I am going to turn it off and read. All week. Just read. I want to see how quickly I can get through a stack of books. The TV is an amazingly addictive, evil, little thing. I have known this forever but it's hitting me how much time I just waste. I limit it for my kiddos...why not myself. I am the one with the problem, not them.
Now there are my favorite shows that I really enjoy but with the internet and now our Hulu, I can catch up on just about anything and do it at my leisure.
This will be good. I need this. I will survive.
So here is my goodie bag of books!!!
and...
They all look good right? It's crazy because I really want to read all of them but I am already missing the stupid TV.
Ugh...I sooooo need to do this...but why is it so hard? I guess it's hard to do the best thing sometimes.
So next Monday I will fill you in on how I survived Reading week.
I also need to stop blabbing on this post and stop surfing the internet. Another one of my big time wasters!
Oh wait...Just remembered...can I watch KU get their butts kicked tonight by Kentucky? That doesn't count right?!
Oh man...well, Good Luck Kentucky! You aren't my wildcats but mine aren't the ones playing KU!

The books all look really great - fall into my entertaining & maybe the edifying division. We enjoyed our time with Donna & glad we could come; strong odor sent us out for a few hours, but really dissipated quickly.
Hope you're enjoying reading but do get outside for some fresh air too. Hugs,
