Alas, another winter's day and yet another snowfall. I'm still not feeling the happy promise of a New Year quite yet. I know, I know...life is what you make it. Still, whoever said that probably wasn't sitting in a snow bank shivering.
I'm procrastinating. There are a hundred and one different projects I 'should' be doing right now. Attacking clutter, for a start..it might be a sign of genius, or an equally cluttered mind, but right now I'm just sick of constantly looking for things:
'Hmm, I know I set that pair of scissors right there, yet through magic they've somehow transformed into a pen, half a dozen paper clips, the TV remote (ahh, so that's where it went!), and my small sketchpad.'
Yes, everything is supposed to have its rightful place, I guess not all of it finds its way back where it should. It does eventually, just not WHEN I really need it.
Well, instead of doing what I'm supposed to be doing, I'm blogging and reading. My friend let me borrow New Moon, the second novel in the series by Stephanie Meyer. I liked Twilight, the first one all right. It was suspenseful in places and the concept is one of my favorites. Yet, I found Bella's total acceptance of the Cullen family's secret a little beyond belief. Perhaps that is explained more fully in later novels (I hope.) And the ending to Twilight left me a little disappointed. After all the energy spent in the build up, the last couple of chapters felt flat. I do like New Moon, so far. We're taking a little holiday from the vampires and heading into werewolf territory, now. One peeve in the first chapters...Bella's brooding went on a little longer than necessary. I mean this is supposed to be a romance/adventure story...don't get bogged down in one event so long that the plot and suspense starts to stagnate. It gets b-o-r-i-n-g!
Ah well, so much for that. Eeugh, I looked outside and what to my disappointed eyes did appear.........more snow wafting down from the heavens! Blah. I might as well go out and at least make a path to the mailbox. There'll either be a bill or junk mail. Not much of a choice these days. Back to the daily chores...I've spend most my time this winter Snow Blind!
