oops..

so, after sharing my plan to write 2000 words a day with you all, i have failed to do so either of the last two days... in fact, i have failed to even sit down and type anything (other than my regular daily emails and blog responses and whatnot)... tisk, tisk, tisk... i plan to get back on track today, though... the last two days have just been struggles to get through for the most part - monday was going fine til about 4:30 when i'd had the last straw with a clingy 2yo and had a nasty sinus headache putting my head into a fog & yesterday started badly, then got busy (library, bank, grocery store - all before lunch) but ended wonderfully albeit quite late (read two really good books by an author i discovered last week - Laura Jensen Walker and finally went to bed about 3am this morning)... they say that if you want to write, you need to read a LOT, so yesterday I took that to heart when I was at the library and emptied shelves of books into my bag - well, not quite shelves, but I filled the bag to overflowing - i think i got 10 books for myself and two for jenny (although, today, i decided one of the books i picked up for jenny is a bit too old for her, but the other one is PERFECT for her current reading abilities - looking at the pictures and trying to figure out the book says)... i'm really excited to get into some of my other books i got too... a few more by LJW, some by Alexandre Dumas (one of my all time favorites - Count of Monte Christo and a new one to me - Camille), a couple of others from the inspirational fiction section (my standard go-to fiction genre) and a book about finance that i heard about on another blog (Your Money or Your Life)... i know i probably got too many to finish in a week's time (we're weekly patrons of the library, due to 2s story time on tuesday mornings), but i couldn't help myself... plus, i don't get to look for books of my own very often, thanks to a 2yo who loves to run up and down the shelves... i had to take the stroller in just to be able to keep tabs on her this week (last week, she took off from the children's section and was running through the adult fiction section of the library before i caught her)... but anyways... reading a good book always makes me want to write even more (although, when i read fiction, i start longing to write fiction, but since i know i have no talent in that area, i revert back to my nonfiction writing) and reading a bad book makes me long for a good book! it's a vicious cycle that i LOVE!! okay, since i digressed immensely, i should probably end this entry and hit the books - devo time and writing time and then maybe some pleasure reading later on! - ohh... and i should probably take the chicken out of the freezer for dinner... hmm... chicken stir-fry for dinner... YUMMY!! (although, maybe i'll make teriaki chicken instead... i wonder if i have any green beans??
