Hello! I'm Back!


Time flies. I can't believe it has already been a full two weeks since I went on hiatus! Time flies when you are exhausted. Let me tell you my friends, I needed the break. Moving into your first house is very time consuming and still working while doing so is even more of a challenge, but I live to tell the tale.

Pictures to come at a later time. I don't have any nice (non-embarrassing) enough pictures yet to share with you all since I am currently living out of boxes and don't have any furniture. I have discovered however that furniture shopping is fun! It's just too bad that it is also very expensive. 

What happens now that I'm back? It will probably take me all week to catch up on comments and visit all of my friends' blogs, but it will be worth it. I missed blogging, but I really just didn't have time for it. I will probably still be really busy here for a while since I have two jobs and there is still so much to do around the new house, but I promise to be as active as I can be, probably right back to how I was before the hiatus. :) I'm ready for my comeback.

What did I read while I was gone? Nothing. I hate to admit it, but I didn't read a single thing. I did start reading The Fixer by Jennifer Lynn Barnes, but I haven't read any more pages for a whole week because of the move. I am loving the book though and hope to finish it soon. I miss reading more than anything. 

I am excited to be back! Let's rock and roll. I am ready to get my read on and my blogging groove back. I missed you all!

The Struggle Is REAL - To blog or to read?

I have this problem EVERY day. I struggle with deciding if I should read my book or blog about my books. I only have so much free time (as I am sure you all understand) so this is kind of a BIG decision. Did I mention that I am horrible at making decisions? Well, I am. So trying to decide between two things that I love is sometimes always very challenging.

To blog or to read? That is the question.

So how do I choose between blogging and reading? Here is what I consider.

Am I in the middle of a really good book? - I'll read. Hands down.
Am I behind in writing reviews? - I'll blog. I try to stay on top of things.
Have I not posted anything for a couple of days? - I'll blog.
Am I an in a crappy mood? - I will read. (If I am being totally honest I may watch Friends.)
Does it feel like a reading type day? - I'll read. (I know I can't always just go by this since usually I think every day is a reading type day.)
Have I been neglecting my comments on my blog? - I'll blog. I love interacting with my followers.
Have I visited my favorite blogs recently? -  If I haven't that means I probably miss them and therefore I'll blog and catch up with them.
Am I in a weird reading slump? - I should read... but to avoid it I will probably blog.
Am I behind in any of my reading challenges? I read. At least that is what I should be doing.
Do I have to go into work soon? - I usually blog. I hate stopping in a really good part in a book before going in to work. On the other hand... if I am currently in the middle of a really good book I will read and just deal with the consequences.
Do I need to escape from the real world for a bit? I read. Obviously. ;)

Do you ever have this problem or am I just a little crazy? I want to hear what your take on this subject is!
