Blah, blah, blah day....

Have you ever had a day where you could not bring yourself to do much of anything? Have you ever dragged your feet and only completed task if absolutely necessary? Your desire to stay in bed, not get dressed, not shower, or even eat was so strong that you hardly moved...Now, I am not talking about those days when something tragic has happened and you feel down. No, I am talking about the days when life is good, but for some odd reason you just feel like curling up into a ball and staying tucked in your cozy bed forever.

Today that is me.

However, for some reason unbeknown to me, I am sitting here writing. Perhaps there is something inside of me, the want-to-be-writer, that is the only desire left in me today. Perhaps it is the fact I am attempting to prepare myself for the evening of work I will soon be leaving for (ugh, night shift). Whatever it may be, I am here and I am writing. There are thoughts in my head that are being typed into this blog. They are my words, and my thoughts. And even in the feeling of 'blah' today they are there, forming some amount of understanding and creating something for others to see, to read, to think upon.

On those blah-est of days, what is it that makes you still do something? A desire to care for your family, a longing to be famous, a wanting for something more, a passion to create?

Books, books, books...

I have been receiving pressure from my lovely fiance to read more instead of sitting at home and not accomplishing much. It's pressure that I appreciate though. Really, what harm could come from reading more?

A lot of my reading over the past few months has been wedding related and Jeff has been encouraging me to branch out and read other things. I have also been on a crafting book kick lately. Trying to find projects to entertain my mind, and inspire some creativity.

Since the time we have been together (almost a year and a half) I think I have only read one fiction book in it's entirety. (One which I later recommended to Jeff to read and he loved). However, Jeff thinks I would get some enjoyment reading more fiction, which I completely agree with. So, to get myself motivated to find books that interest me and spark my imagination (possibly encouraging me to write as well!) I was considering re-reading books I once loved, but I still was not sure where to start. Then one day to my surprise there was a 'Chapters' shopping bag sitting on the sofa with a book comprising the entire 'Weetzie Bat' series (minus the newest one). The series is one which I read as a teenager and loved at that stage in my life. It is a series which most certainly will keep me entertained and will spark some creativity. So, over the next while I will be getting back to reading, thanks to the generosity of my fiance, and hopefully getting back to writing again as well!
