In which I explain the last post

So, I've obviously been slacking in a major way with this blog. Today I realized it had been nearly a month since I'd last posted and resolved to post again before midnight. Just before the clock struck, I managed to type a couple of words. I guess that's one resolution I've kept this year!

In other news, I've managed to keep up with my reading goals pretty well so far. My life has been kind of tragic lately (slight exaggeration), and for a couple of weeks blogging wasn't at the top of my to do list. Fortunately, I did keep up with reading--until this past week, when I discovered the joys of watching television. I don't have cable in my house, but these days I guess that can't stop you from watching plenty of TV. My new fave? Dance Moms. On my laptop. At 2 a.m.

Anyway, despite my blogging slacker-ness, I've kept up OK with my reading. Tonight I plan to finish yet another book, The Hours.

More to come--my book calls.
