So I have been challenged to post. When I started reading over my blog, I was surprised to find that I have not written a thing since July. There's that commitment thing again. Let me tell you what I have committed to lately.
Earrings...oddly enough, my mom believes that you are not dressed unless you are wearing earrings. My friend Ditzah has been all over me this summer for being half done. My hair and make-up were done; I would put on decent clothes and a necklace, but forget the important earrings. So since the start of school I have worn earrings every (almost) day! I have committed to that one simple thing.
What else? - National Novel Writing Month is coming up in November. I have verbally committed to doing it again. I did it last year - 50k words in 30 some odd days and I was completely blown away that I did it. Since I am not in school this semester - to discuss later - I have to do this novel writing contest.
Is that all I have committed to? That may be it for right now but seeing how I have been lately that's not too bad.
Oh - and I am committed to my marriage. We just passed the ten-year mark. It goes by fast and I feel like I have been married an eternity. The other day I thought about how next September 2010 I will have known my husband for half of my life. What? That's just crazy, deranged. No, seriously, it's a big thing and I can barely wrap my head around the idea.
Oh and I have been reading at night, every night. I have a hard time reading for pleasure during the school year because you read papers, and articles and the like and it just gets to be too much. I read some woman's blog where she reads over 100 books a year. I thought I loved to read, but wow. I did commit to the entire Twilight series. I'm just a commitment fanatic.
So I have posted to my blog, writing this entry in ten minutes in response to pressure from my good friend (and blog follower), Rach. Thanks, Ray-Ray.
