Sweet Surrender

It's been awhile since I posted.

I found this quote today and really liked it.



Lately I've been having moments.
Pondering on where I began and where I have ended up.
Sometimes I think about everything that has happened to me in just 5 years
and it seems crazy, like it should be in a movie or a book!

And then I decided to write my own autobiography.
I have experienced many ups and downs in life,
hard life lessons to learn.
I like to think that it has made me a better person,
someone who will be able to help others.
Now this autobiography will more than likely be written and then put aside.
But I'd like to think maybe I could get it published one day.
I've tiitled it:

Stuck Inside Myself

Maybe one of these days I'll post the first chapter.

Life Is Beautiful

in my own little world.

Most of the time I do have my nose stuck in a book.
Lately I've been going through a book every day and a half.
The series I've been reading is by
J.R. Robb aka Nora Roberts
with the In Death series.
There's seriously about 28 or so books
and I'm on #17.
Will sometimes complains but I love nothing more than
being involved in a good book.
Forget tv...give me a great book to read.

I have loved reading for as long as i can remember
and own A LOT of books.
I have read all of mine at least 3 or 4 times.
I'm a bookworm.
So what.

"Reading is a basic tool in the living of a good life."

Chopped.

I did it.

I chopped the hair off yet again.
But this time it isn't January.
It had gotten to an awkward place.

And for anyone who knows me...
I need change.

Went for MEDIUM hair >
to
SHORT hair!

These are not the best pictures but I'm sure I'll get some more up.

Mostly because I love seeing what I can create.
Obsession?
Whatever.
