It's beginning to look a lot like....

Happiness? What exactly does happiness look like? I suppose it's something different for everyone. For me right now, it looks like I am super tired. The bags under my eyes could sustain me all the way to Australia for a two week vacation and speaking of vacation, I am coming up on one. The first "real" vacation of the school year. Winter break. You can't call it Christmas Vacation anymore because people get offended. In my opinion, they can call it whatever they want, as long as I'm not in school and get some rest, I am down.

Life has been a little hectic lately. I suppose that's part of the reason I am SO bad lately at keeping up with this blog business (sorry Paul!). Speaking of Paul, if you do happen to read this, I was super excited when you mentioned The Trews in your blog. I enjoy their stuff quite a bit.

Back to the hectic nature of life... though I am exhausted and my eye has a little twitching issue from the overtiredness, I am happy. I am fulfilled. I am appreciated and I appreciate. Sometimes you have to get through the worse to get to the better and I am headed in the right direction. It's a bit of an uphill battle at the moment, but when I get to the top of that mountain, the view is going to be unbelievable. Here's to the great outdoors, mountain peaks and sunsets.

Happy whateverkindofholiday you celebrate.

Bibliophilia?

Well, I am finally back on my game (sort of) and I'm finishing up moving out of my old house. It makes me sad because I loved my house, but life goes on. I couldn't keep it and so I have to just let that go. Since I have moved back in with my parents, I am feeling pretty thankful that I don't have too much stuff... except for books.

I have more books than I know what to do with. Every night I've been bringing home three or four boxes of books and I have one more trip to go. As my mother remarked, these aren't "normal" boxes... they are rather large rubbermaid containers full to the brim of books. As I've been going through them, I've been sorting them out and I'm going to try to give a whole bunch of them away. There are some books though that have sentimental value, or ones that I just love. I also seem to have gone on multiple book buying sprees and haven't yet had a chance to read all of the books I bought. I have one entire container so far full of books I haven't read yet!

I knew that I loved books, but seeing all of these books makes me wonder if there's a support group out there for bibliophiles...
