Yellow Rose's Garden

So... Seems I have more reading to do. Finally getting started on Outlander. Several of my friends have had good things to say about the series and thanks of one of them, I have the first four to read. I started the first and had trouble putting it down, that's a good thing.

I got different reading glasses and they seem to explain why I was having trouble reading of late. One of those DUH things, I suppose.

Been doing quite a bit of writing for the Great Redcap Hunt, which has picked up a whole lot of speed after being at a lull for sometime. I'm glad of it, because I needed the stimulation to get going again. Let's face it, writers need stimulation for their work or their hobby depending on how you look at things.

I spend a lot less time online than I used to. Might not seem that way to some people because they see one of my names logged into AIM, etc., but being logged in and running about picking up the house to do laundry, cook, and other things isn't quite the same as sitting on my ass and staring at the screen every waking hour of the day like I used to. I guess I hit a point where I realized that just because other people were online didn't mean they didn't have specific purposes for their online time.

I think I also hit a point where I realized there is far more to life than staring at a freaking computer screen and waiting to be amused, entertained or talked to by someone else.  I have Sims, Sims 2, and The Movies to be entertained by a machine.
