Completely random.

I really want to do some camping this year. I want to get out and kick back on a lawn chair and soak it all in. I want to hang out in the woods, and have a fire, play some cards, and spend time with my family outside and not at home. See something new. Experience some new places. We have some ideas for the summer months, so it will be interesting to see how we fare camping with child.

I am reading up a storm. I brought back an embarrassingly full bag of books from the flatlands as carry on luggage. Only me and my insatiable urge to read. It has been a period of "ooooooooh, I have a stockpile of books, so I must read them as fast as I can." I am so bizarre at times. So in the last few weeks, I have read:

• Prey by Michael Crighton, which is a somewhat distburbing book that delves in to nanotechnology for a thriller
• The Soul Catcher by Alex Kava, a new suspense writer that really grew on me the farther in to the book I got
• The Camel Club by David Baldacci - he always delivers
• The Cove by Catherine Coulter, it was ok. More of a quick read that dragged on a bit towards the end
• Saucer: The Conquest by Stephen Coonts, just a lot of fun. The sequel to Saucer, just a really fun read that was a page turner to see what would happen to earth!
• and I am currently up to my eyeballs in The Bed of Nails by Michael Slade. I am hooked on the Slade books, they are awesome. Well researched, well written, and I like the wry, dark sense of humor that penetrates their books

I actually cleaned out my closest (yes, I know again, this is a process for me) and have gotten rid of a substantial amount of clothes. Like holy shit, I can move things in my closet and actually see what I have! Who knew?

My to do list is also shrinking! I have been doing some touch up painting, and even that is getting closer to being done.

Faceb0ok is a cool and odd thing. It is neat to see what happened to folks from highschool, or through networks of friends that you haven't thought about for a while. It is a glorified way to see what happened to the people you knew in a not so gossipy kind of way because you are controlling the information. For me, it is neat to see that the folks from the old high school gang are all pretty much at the stage of married with kids.. or something like that. We aren't the kids any more. I can't see myself getting too sucked in to it because I think it could become a huge time consuming thing, and I don't feel the need to be that dedicated to it. I have other priorities for my spare time. It is interesting in a "woah, looks what going on over there" kind of way. It is also kind of neat that I have nieces and nephews on there. There are times where I think it is amazing how big my family is now that I have two sides and that I get called Auntie Kazzy! Tee hee. I am a grown up. Still floors me sometimes.

It seems to be once a week where I get the chance to post, and I try to remember the funny ditties or instances that happen to me, and not always do they come off as interesting to relate. Ah well. So long for anothe day!
