Why do I do everything else before I start typing here? As in, I check the blogs I'm following, even follow the link to blogs of note and then follow their links to blogs they are following. How much of a time suck is that? Not to mention the bills I've paid and e mails I've dealt with and of course the online crossword puzzle.
So here I am at 10pm cross-eyed and back aching and what do I want to write?
Is this how I want to begin the new year?
My daughter asked, "what is my new year's resolution?"
I replied "to read fewer books."
"fewer books? my husband queried.
"Oh yes," I said " I consume books like potato chips. I don't really absorb or process them. It's like an addiction. "
"How many do you think you read last year? Twenty?"
"I keep a record in a google ap. I said must be at least fifty." (I just checked, 49, up from 38 in 2008.)
That's almost a book a week. I'm a consumer and I want to be a contributor.
