Susie Homemaker
I had a wonderful weekend. Hubby was gone to a conference on Adler Methods of Psychoanalysis and my whole goal was to read read read. OF course that isn't what happened. Instead I ended up making homemade cheese (mozzarella) and home made bread (spelt) and worked on writing a murder mystery to be 'performed' at prom. *lol*. Hubby returned on Saturday night and Sunday was spent cleaning my car, buying a bread maker and new rolling garbage can.
When I was young... I had all the time in the world to read. I would read all night. I would sneak into my bedroom with a light and hide under the covers with a good book. I have that desire every single day still... but I find in my life there is so much less time for reading. Between what I *have* to read for work, spending movie/tv time at night with my hubby, and trying to actually get sleep at night (no more 2am late nights reading for me!) I just don't have the time to read like I desire.
I did spend an hour or two in Ohio sitting by the water reading, and I did that last weekend as well, but it is never enough... My Kindle has helped, I'm back to reading at least a book a week, but honestly? I used to read four or five books a week. Sometimes I would read a book or two books a day!
I miss that time in my life. I miss feeling that free to just read and the luxury of escaping into another world.
Anyhow... once again my goal this weekend is to read. We'll see, being that it is Easter, what will happen... but sitting by the water with my Kindle is simply happiness incarnate for me. Making time for myself to do that is important.
I'll take some homemade bread and cheese with me *grin*
