It's that time again. Updates! I'm hopped up on the 'roids so my creative juices are flowing and my sleep at night is evading me. That's OK since I have the luxury of mornings in bed.
Today was a treatment day. I had another dose of what is lovingly named "The Red Devil" by my favorite nurse. Even if that was a bar drink, I don't think I would order something with such a foreboding title. Now if we were talking song titles, that'd be a different story. Currently I'm just waiting for my body to start the process on the downward spiral again. It was a hell, the devil's domain, last week and I really don't want and I can't let that happen again. I have things to do and people to see. Positive thinking commence.
On other fronts, I took advantage of the downfall last week by cuddling in with my Kindle. One of my best friends recommended The Hunger Games series. I devoured it. (pun intended) As the name insinuates, there is a role of food in the book. I have a strange relationship with food right now. A deep love/hate runs between me and edibles. I took to the books despite the symbolic foods. I finished the series in a week. Forewarning it's a young adult series; think Twighlight without the putrid Bella or mythical creatures. I miss reading books and discussing the deeper meanings of everything or hearing other people's favorite parts. Usually you'll notice new angles and hear of interesting interpretations. My friends and I discuss book groups but last time I was one of the few to actually read the book (Three Cups of Tea - still very bitter of the author's audacity to lie). So if any one has a book they want to meet over coffee about I'd love to.

we HAVE to discuss it this weekend...i'm dying to know who you picked!
I don't know what kind of books you like, but I have really gotten into "A Game of Thrones".
I've been told it's pretty similar to Lord of the Rings.
All I know is, every book in the series is REALLY long so I feel like I'm getting my money's worth
Thanks for the suggestion Joe! I'll add it to the list of books to read.
Hey Katrina! We've missed you! You and Ross have to plan a trip up here soon. Anyway, have you heard of The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie? I read it for my book club and it's a series of 3 right now, not sure if there'll be more, but it was pretty good! And also, you write so well! Has anyone told you to write a book yourself?
Thanks Sarah! I've missed you guys too! I wish we could have been up to see your new home sooner but Ross and I will be visiting for Will's birthday which is coming up quickly. I have been looking forward to the party and visit since the save the date.
I hadn't heard of the series so I checked it out and it sounds cool and different from everything I'd been reading lately. Have you read all three?
I do enjoy writing so it's great to hear I'm not the only one that's entertained by it haha
Great to hear from you!
