stuck in a good book...

How is it that so much time has passed already? I can't believe the year is already over20 days old. I've been busy with working at the mall and at the church and time just slipped on by. I feel like I haven't watched a movie in ages (but I know I have, I watched one with Nathan a week or so ago, I think). Lately, I stick my nose in a book every free moment I have-- either that or I'm giving feedback to the teens on CleanPlace or setting up a new forum where I'm going to teach a literature class to some of those same teens.

This year, my goal is to read 100 books. And to make it harder, I tightened the rules. I don't know what I was thinking. So far, I've read 8 books, so I'm on schedule (I need 8 books a month with an extra book each quarter) but I feel like I am sucking every spare moment into this challenge. Eventually, I will have to take a break. There is a house to clean, movies to watch, clothes to wash, life to live.

Now that I think about it, I did spend some time at the hospital last week when Kayla was there- and I worked 2 extra days at the church. I've watched kids, went to birthday parties, talked to friends on the phone... I guess there has been a few other things going on.

How is the year going for all of you? Any fun and exciting happenings? Tell me about them...

Let's see...I'm reading my brains out as well, but not quite at the rate you are. ;o) Other new things? I started writing another story which I cannot decide if I like or not.
