March 31, 2012

You came like the winds of March, with love in your eyes.

Do you ever have those months where it's all go-go-go and your super busy with super exciting things and people and places and you just can't wait to share everything but there honestly aren't enough days to write about it all? That was my January and February.

But do you ever have months where you still feel like everything is go-go-go, but in all reality, you're not really doing anything all that exciting except for cultivating a new relationship and occasionally cooking a meal and seeing your family and reading? That was my March.

March, by comparison, was boring.

Don't get me wrong. March was fun, and I'm pretty darn happy with where everything is right now (more on that later this week...) but every time I sat down to blog, I would rack my brain for what I did or something fun to share and I consistently came up with nothing.

April has lots of good things in store, so hopefully I'll get some mojo back, but for now, here's a pretty quick synopsis of the past four weeks:

I finally read The Hunger Games. I liked it, but was honestly a little disappointed/confused/shocked at the ending. But I've been told the 2nd and 3rd are better so I'll reserve judgement till after I read those.

I enjoyed some ridiculously unseasonable gorgeous days. It hit almost 90 a few days...in Michigan... in March. Unfortuntaely, it's back in the 40's and 50's and rainy at the moment, but I'll take it, cause honestly, I wasn't ready for summer in March lol

I did not become a millionaire. Womp womp.

And then there's this guy, who's been taking up quite a bit of my time lately, not that I'm complaining in the least :-)

What have ya'll be up to?
Fill me in, yo!

April 16, 2011

Our aspirations are wrapped up in books.

Today ..err yesterday-at Kelly's Korner it's "Show Us Your Life-What's your reading list?"

I'm reading a few books right now and just finished one so I'll share those :-)

1. Moneyball


I always keep a book at my parents when I spend the night so it takes me a while to finish them, but this is my newest one. I've been meaning to read it for a while (my dad got it when it came out and that was like 5+ years ago lol) but it's about how the Oakland A's changed baseball with the way they draft players-not looking at normal stats like batting average, but rather things like on base percentage. So far I really like it-it's a pretty perfect spring book...I get to watch baseball and read about it :-)

2. The Happiness Project

I also keep a book at work to read on my lunch break. I've been reading this one lately and I love it. It's about a woman who decided she wanted to be happier and set monthly goals for herself like boosting energy and making time for friends. It's been really interesting to see who she went about it and I've been putting some of the things she learned in to practice in my own life as well.

3. How to Be Good

I just finished this not too long ago and even though it took me a while to get through it, I ended up enjoying it. Nick Hornby is a really good writer and this was interesting. It coincided with me doing some thinking about what it meant to be good, so it definitely brought up some thoughts about human nature and what being good is all about.
