I've Lost My Chutzpah

I'm kinda feeling like this during the day.

Which leads me to this at night.

I can't seem to get back into it ladies. Shadow of the Wind is a highly recommended book with tons of wonderful feedback and I just can't pick it up. I'm at chapter two and haven't the least bit of need to read right now.

I guess maybe there are too many other things going on right now for me. Reno's in the basement, visits from family, baby shopping, knitting and HELLO - it's spring which means there are hours of planning to do for the yard and garden. Feeling a little antsy that I won't finish anything in time.

Maybe I just need a break from reading a book a month. The pressure to get a book done so fast right now is daunting and then I just don't pick it up at all.

I say that and then I'm extremely sad because I know that if I step down from this wonderful book club, I won't see you lovelies anymore. However; taking a spot when I'm not in the reading mood is not going to benefit the group either.

Am I super shitty for thinking of stepping down? Does anyone even still read this blog?

February but really March Book

I hear the brunch at Miss Horne's was absolutely delicious! Sad that I missed it. I wanted to post the new book for y'all just in case some have forgotten.

Shannon's pick and your vote for the February Book is:

The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon

I am definitely looking forward to picking this one up. I truly missed reading wicked and had I known then what I know now, I would have bought it right after the trip and breezed through it.

I'll pop out today and pick this baby up. I'm told that some/most of you are going to try to finish reading Wicked because it's so very good!

We're off to Edmonton this weekend for our nephew's 3rd birthday party. Can't believe that he's already 3! Love this little guy. He is the reason that Chris changed his mind about having a family so I'm going to pick him up something extra special today. Like chocolate and jelly beans special!

What are you all up to for the weekend? It's been so gorgeous out. I don't know about you but I feel WAY better when I drive to work and home in the light! For me, that's definitely a sign of spring.

Ciao bella's.
