Best Laid Plans
Best Laid Plans...
Here I am a month and a half after my last blog post, blushing with embarrassment for two reasons.
1. It has taken me this long to get back to the blogosphere.
2. I may or may not have completely lost track of one of my reading season resolutions. Okay, I admit it: I totally lost track.
I'm still heading to the gym. My spin addiction has not waned and I have discovered Zumba (how did I ever live without you?!?!). I've added buttermilk corn biscuits, shrimp and scallop scampi, chicken and potato curry, pepper and herb crusted pork roast and spicy corn chowder to my repertoire. I have a couple new confections ready for the gluttonous decision making fest that is regular decision admission committee.
But reading... Reading books for fun has come to a screeching halt. After reading for 9+ hours a day filling my head with your stories and the anecdotes relayed by your teachers and interviewers, I pick up a book and my eyes cross. If I'm to get up the next day and dive in to applications again, I just have to give my eyes a break. It cannot be helped.
So I have surrendered to my Netflix. You win, Friday Night Lights (I know I'm a little late to the party). At the end of my reading I spend a little time with Coach Taylor and Tammy, Big Timmy Riggins and Six, Matt and Julie... I escape into their Texan life and oh how sweet it is. Clear eyes, full hearts... I know: get back to reading!
