Just One More Thing...

Having been completely engulfed into the fiction world lately, I have gotten the bug again. Oh yes, I am one of those Twilight people...100%! I even have a keychain that says "I Love Boys Who Sparkle". In the next couple of weeks, I'll have a shirt that says something about Dr. Carlisle Cullen, too! What an epic love story between Edward and Bella.

The author, Stephenie Meyer, is like a month and a half younger than me! Talk about feeling like a slacker! Twilight started as a fantastic dream, that she just continued to write the story when she was awake. Seriously, wow!

Then there's my other favorite, Karen Kingsbury, who is a Christian author. She writes Christian fiction, very inspiring and emotional. Like the one I just finished titled Ever After, which had me bawling through like 50 pages like I was watching a chick flick. But it wasn't the romance, it was the death of a soldier in Iraq. All that he felt, all those he left behind, and the show of support from so many because of his sacrifice. The kicker about that book is that she says she wrote it in 5 days! Five days!

So of course I'm thinking, "I bet I could do that." The question is when could I slow my ADD mind down enough to focus? lol I do plan to give it a try, that much I know. I could take any one of many of the stories of my life, do some tweaking, make the ending I want...and tah-dah! I think I can, I really do. And so I shall!

A Mellow Day

Didn't do my usual running today. Bruzer and I hit a couple stores, then ate Chick-Fil-A at the mall (on an entertainment book coupon, of course). We were home by 1p, where I lounged at the computer until it was time to pick up the kids. They get out half an hour early on Wednesday...every Wednesday. I am pretty good at remembering though, it just means I have to cut my day a little shorter than usual.

CGR and I had a great talk today. Seems things are going better for him and the girlfriend. Even though she's not my favorite person, as long as she makes him happy I'm okay with her. I even admitted to him today that I can say I leaning toward the "in love" category when it comes to Dante. Yes, I did say it just that cryptically!! I just feel a lot more comfortable letting myself go knowing that he is doing the same. I know it's not all the way yet, but it is definitely different than before. And I am most assuredly enjoying it too!!

I've been watching old episodes of Bones this evening, between cooking dinner and chatting with Jerome. I don't mention him much on here, but I talk to him pretty much every day. He's really a sweet guy, not much into the club scene or for being around a lot of people. He usually has a wandering eye, but this woman he's involved with now definitely has his heart. What I do know for sure is if he would have strayed, he would have told me! I'm basically the closest thing he has to a best friend! They have been together for almost 9 months now, and it hasn't been easy but they keep trying. No knock-down, drag-out fights or infidelity or anything like that. They're just trying to work through subtle differences, as we all do when we truly desire couplehood.

I ordered more books from Karen Kingsbury last night on Amazon. Don't worry, no spending frenzy alert needed. My total -with shipping- was $13 for 3 books!! I went into the Christian bookstore at the mall today and got 3 books by Michelle McKinney-Hammond. I am very excited to read those, and will give reviews as I do.

That's it for today, I'm headed to the bath now and bed later!
