What's New?

Nothing super exciting seems to be goin' on around here. Still waiting to have my garage sale (finally this saturday.) Waiting for my book that I ordered two weeks ago (should have arrived by now.) And since I decided to go to Coachella, it's been on my mind.

I just finished a book called The Road To Somewhere that I checked out from a nearby library. It had been so long since I'd been to the library and I decided to go last week to look for something interesting to read. When I read I let my imagination take control and escape to another place. Some people don't like reading, but I see it as a form of entertainment. Better than T.V. or movies, especially when a movie is based on a book and they ruin it by leaving so much out from the book (Less Than Zero.) I really hate that.

Anyway, I read this book in about a week, which was  cool since I haven't always been a fast reader. I did read six books in one summer though. But back to this book. It was about a girl from Texas who thought too much about life itself (like me!) It was basically about things that happen in life that you don't plan to happen. In this case it was her dad leaving her mom because he was gay, her moving in with her professor from college that she was dating and later dumped her. She randomly works for a carpenter and "learns the trade" and one day while on run she passes by her brother's old college roommate that she had a crush on when she was seventeen. They end up dating and move to New York so he could do his residency. She begins to wonder why they were together and realized how different they were from each other, so they break up. Not long after she discovers that she's pregnant and when she tells him, he wants to get married. In the end she declines and the book ends as she's making her way back to Texas noting that everything turned out OK. She'd married another man, her daughter's father married and was a good father. Everybody lived happily ever after.

That may have been the worst book "review" but it was interesting to read. At least it wasn't boring.

I just decided to blog about it cause nothin' else really is new. But I am going back to the library today to find something else that will entertain and pass the time.
