I raised the white flag

As I think I've mentioned in this blog before, I don't like to stop reading a book. Even if I don't like it. Well, I decided life's too short and there are too many books to be read.

So, I raised the white flag on Barbara Kingsolver's Lacuna. I read just about half (200 pages) and I was just bored with it. It had its interesting historical fiction aspects, but overall? Dull.

So, now I'm onto Cleaving by Julie Powell of Julie & Julia fame. I seem to have gone from one weird book to another. I like the portions of the story that talk about Julie's life, but the sections that go in depth into butchery? Ehh...I'm all set.

We'll see how long it takes before I raise the white flag on this one...

Past season Coach pocketbook, oh how I covet thee...

No further words needed. Well, just some luck is needed...I'm hunting it on eBay!

Well hello there, stranger!

So much for blogging everyday about one letter of the alphabet.

So much for November being National Blog Posting Month and some people posting everyday.

So much for changing the "What I'm Reading Now" everytime I pick up a new book. (Although I am updating it now and am excited to get into The Lacuna, Barbara Kingsolver's new book.)

My life has been pretty stressful lately. School. Work. Holidays. I've been bad with keeping in touch with my friends lately, too. Sorry peeps -- you know who you are and you also know how guilty I'm feeling right about now.

HOWEVER...the light at the end of the tunnel is upon me! I've just completed my last assignment for this semester!!!!! Whoo hoo!!!!

I'm sure I'll find some other excuses why I don't blog more frequently, but I'll try not to... See ya 'round.
