Lost in the Story Line.
So about that master bedroom post last week.. I fail. As usual when it comes to posting on a normal schedule. I can't really say that anything super fun and exciting happened that prevented me from logging on, uploading pictures, editing, putting together a post and publishing. I just didn't.
That is unless you consider Weeds super fun and exciting. Remember how on Monday I posted about how I had started re-watching? That continued this week. I'm on season 5. And it's freaking stuck in my mind ALL of the time. Is that normal? I am not sure it is.
I'm one of those people though that gets lost in the story line. With anything lovey it seems. Obviously I don't watch Weeds because of the weed and the drug lord aspect of the whole show (I think that story line is whack and so far out there... although maybe...), I watch it because I want Nancy and Andy to come together. Although I do like me some Nancy/Esteban romance and I was bummed that they cut Conrad out.
Anyway... back on topic... I'm the same way with books. I can pick up a 400 to 500 page novel and read it cover to cover in two nights. (If you like Nicholas Spark's type books.. please please please pick up a Kristen Hannah book. You absolutely will not regret it!) Why? Because I get lost in the story. When I have to put it down it's back to my real normal life.
Not that I don't like my normal life. In fact I love it. I just feel an escape is sometimes necessary? I'm not sure if that is the correct wording. I like to get all wrapped up in a good love story, action plot or friendship.

It's nerdy. But it is how I am.
I was raised on Little House on the Prairie. Every night Dad would read a chapter or two to my sister Erin and I. I guess you could say that was the jumping off point. From then on Erin and I were constantly getting in trouble for reading under the covers with flashlights. It was a game to not get caught. Throughout high school and a lot of college I put reading on the back burner. I can't even tell you why. So recently I've gotten back into it. Averaging 2 to 3 books a month. (I have to be careful cause I will stay up until 5 am reading.. instead of sleeping..) And now I'm finding myself putting aside cleaning, laundry, blogging.. for books and TV shows with love stories.
For that I must apologize.
But lets be frank y'all... I'm a stay at home wife (hopefully finding a job soon ish!) who takes care of two dogs and her husband. I have no children. My dogs are crazy but not eating the furniture crazy. We don't go out a whole heck of a lot because we don't know a bunch of people here. If I constantly updated this here blog twice a week about my life.. You'd absolutely be bored silly.
So if I am missing.. I've probably discovered a new story line. :)

That pinterest find is so true. It takes me usually a week or so after finishing a book to start a new one.
ReplyDeleteI do this exact same thing... books and tv shows suck me in! I don't get lost in movies but dang those tv shows...
ReplyDeleteI understand about getting caught up in books. I love to read and when I was single I used to read 2-3 books a month, sometimes more. I love getting caught up and when I finish a really good book, I almost feel sad and want the story to continue. :)
ReplyDeleteI seriously feel like I lose my best friends whenever I finish a good book. I feel the same with TV shows, but it's not quite as strong as books.
ReplyDeleteI used to LOVE to read but as the years have gone by and life has gotten crazier, that is something that has fallen by the wayside, unfortunately.
ReplyDeleteI love the phrase 'a book hangover', I get those all the time!
ReplyDeleteI love Kristin Hannah, I keep meaning to find time to read more of her books! I definitely live with book hangovers. I will find myself thinking about a book for days after I read it, wishing there was more.
ReplyDeletemost of my spam goes to the spam area, which i'm thankful for because i can't moderate comments--i have nerve damage and it kills my hand. i speak my posts and comments. random! anyway, i found your blog via the blog hop and just had to follow :)
ReplyDeleteMy dad did that too! A chapter or two of Little House... then we moved on to Anne of Green Gables, and Little Women, etc. It was great!
