Maybe I'll Grace You With My Presence

I have almost completely weened myself off the computer. So, you'll have to forgive me for my lack of FB updates, and falling off the face of the blog world. It's actually a good thing. I was finding myself craving the warm glow of the computer screen. Now, I barely think about it. Well, except the Scrabble games my sisters and I play.
In this process, I have re-found my love of reading. Not only has the lack of computer helped that, but our lack of TV has thrust me back into the reading world. Really, I don't have time to sit down and watch TV during the day. And I don't have a TV in my room anymore, so I can't watch TV at night. Occasionally I catch a glimpse of the news when I make dinner at night, or bread in the afternoon, because our only working TV is one of those drop down 4 inch kitchen TV's and we get Fox, NBC and PBS. Now that I have successfully veered of the subject of reading, I will go back. My favorite reads are non fiction history, and war. So and obvious choice if the books I read on WW1 and 2. I recently finished Schindler's List. I wasn't a big fan of him taking liberties on what these people were thinking, but he did put a disclaimer in the beginning about that, so all is forgiven. I am now waiting on the Hunger games. I have heard raving reviews about them. I have a friend who agreed to loan them to me, so I wait, filling the time with Stephen King. I will gladly put that down when I get new books. I don't mind him, but I get board with the likes of King Koontz ect. It's very predictable.
Anyway, things are slow here. We are having a lazy summer. Before we know it, school will start, but not before our co-op starting next week. I have tons of ideas, I just need to make them into tangible activities. Life is good. Slow and good. So until next time.
