We should... :)

V: I am changing my democracy to tennis... Just to get a new word in there for you.

I'll try to find ones no one else is getting V, to help your OCD ;)

Oh phew... I was afraid I misread the rules.

Yay! Happy to hear that Erin!

Oh Erin, I'm so sorry. Sending lots of positive energy your way.

Stacie: I would like to sign up for job in reading books...

Kristen which teams have the cutest outfits? Haha, kidding. I'm a 49er fan, but not a hardcore football watcher. Mostly because I think that football, like all sports, is more entertaining in life than tv. My boyfriend is a hardcore Rams fan and it was almost a deal breaker when I told him my team since they are in the same division... Haha, boys.

Nice job Emma!

V: I like your plan... More audiobooks!

Go Erin!

Oh I've had that book on my to read list for a while. You ladies are making me want to bump it up on my list.

Kristen that's crazy. Glad she is ok.
We have no snow up here in Alaska. We got a little early in winter but its almost all melted because we got a heat wave. For a while it went up to the 40s. So it seems like all the other states are getting the snow we aren't.
It's been a weird winter.

Thank you Snowtulip!

Thanks Emma and Renee for the tips.

V: I have the same problem with staying on goal for reading. I go to the library or find something interesting and available on the online library and start reading that instead. Haha.

Erin: thank you!

I have similar goals for this year. I too am wanting intermingle classics with my modern reading. I have a list of classics that I've been wanting to read and have decided to start knocking them off my shelves.
I also have a goal to read more off my owned list.
Finally my boyfriend isn't a big reader but years ago read Stephen King's Dark Tower series and has been begging me to read them too. They look interesting, I just get sidetracked with other books. But I want to read them so he and I can "discuss" them haha.

I am. It's slow going, but doing much better. Getting off the heavy meds so my mind is more clear and better for reading.

Also a big thank you for all your good vibes and everyone's kind words. Just so you all know and don't think I was ignoring.
