new year.. new try

I am going to have another try at blogging this year. for me, life gets to busy to blog. I also think I try to make my blog entries look too much like rick's. I spend too much time doing laundry, grading papers, blocking stage movement, and organizing our kids' school and social lives to be as deep thinking as my sweetheart.
This year, I want to have some fun writing at least once a week. i want to focus on my goals of exercising more, reading more, and just enjoying life.
Rick mentioned the other day about making notes about how much reading he does this year. I would like to do this also. i do not read much during play season, usually just on breaks and in the summer. I read my first book of 2008. Rick bought me James Patterson's First to Die a couple of months ago and I started reading it last night. I am a fast reader and finished it about lunch time today. Since I like to round my numbers, I'll say I read 450 pages. I think officially it was something like 462. My next read is going to be something classic. I am thinking some Wila Cather, maybe Harper Lee... I do not know. We have reading time at school each day, but I usually focus on magazines or newspapers.. This semester, I want to read a few books in this time frame.
Thanks and goodnight.
