Books
My personal goal over the last 6 months or so has been to READ the books I've already purchased and 'haven't gotten around to reading.' I hate that despite the number of times I've moved, there are books that have journeyed with me, only to sit on the same bookshelf and remain unopened. I've made some great progress so far and am adding books to my Amazon wish list. That being said, has anyone read any of the following books? Thoughts? Reviews?
The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt
The Woman Upstairs by Claire Messud
The Cuckoo's Calling by Robert Galbraith (JK Rowling)
Pivot Point by Kasie West (Young Adult)

Life Lately
Wow... it's crazy how time flies... somehow it's basically the middle of March and each time I go to blog, I realize I want to start with "what a crazy few weeks it's been!" What have I been up to?! Does anyone else have those moments, where you can't help but stop and think, "wait... it's the middle of "x" month already? When did that happen?"
I ADMIT....
I really like watching Storage Wars... though you know they only show the best lockers because the odds of getting these amazing finds every single time... yeah, no. I could live without the drama between people and the banter, but I like seeing what random crap is found. I cannot relate though, I can't imagine having a storage locker, not having enough money to pay for it, leaving my stuff in there, and not seeing that stuff again. I guess I'd hope that if I had a storage unit, it would only be to hold items that were really important. I know when I was moving between places, I had one temporarily. Is that the key, 'temporarily?"
Anyone else ever wonder if people watching this show have that 'aha' moment: "That's my stuff!!" In general, I really do like the show though I have to say, as a professional musician, I cannot stand it when they find an instrument and give it it's first "general price." Good grief, it just shows complete ignorance sometimes. You are not going to get $600 for a beginning 3/4 violin when the bridge is broken, it needs to be re-stringed, and there is a crack in the body.
And did you see this!? Wahoo for BBT!!
