Day to day life can be hectic, figuring out the grocery list, trying to make a To Do list for the weekend where you know stuff won't get accomplished, gathering notes for a fiction story I haven't updated in weeks. It can all get overwhelming until I come to the point where I just break off completely and stay in bed for 48 hour straight. Not that I ever do that, I usually have the INTENTION of sleeping that long because in all honestly I sleep maybe 3-4 hours a night and probably need that long in bed, however I can't do it.
There is always something I need to do, or somewhere I need to go. A party, make a cake for someone else, figure out what I need to buy, something always crops up. So this weekend I have scheduled ME time. Me in my bed most of Saturday. I will get up though because I have to set the house up for Halloween. I LOVE Halloween. I haven't decided what costume I will be, but I am uber-excited about the prospect of trick or treaters. I haven't had trick or treaters in years, at the old house there was never many kids that went trick or treating so I never had any. But in Charlotte there are a ton of kids and I live right beside an elementary school so I can definitely get my Scare on!
I have mummies and spider decorated men, I have ghostly ladies who will hover over a bed in my downstairs living room with strobe lights and fog, how awesome can we get right? Well, I can definitely party with the big boys.
Anyway, I am rereading a Lori Foster book I picked up at the local Goodwill called Impetuous. I forgot how much I like this book! It's about a girl named Carlie who is a very dedicated teacher who is crushing really hard on her best friend's brother-in-law Tyler. Tyler is a businessman who is bored to tears with the women he usually dates, he's a player after all and goes for the tall, blond and dumb type. Anyway they both get invited to a Halloween party (Yay, Halloween!) and Carlie's friend dresses her up as a Harem girl. (I should be a Harem girl!) Well, Tyler has never noticed Carlie before because she typically dresses in huge clothes that make her look fat and hide her shape, but when she steps out in a mask dressed as a Harem girl, he takes notice. Anyway they wind up having a little...tryst? in the pool house but he has no clue it's Carlie as she wouldn't remove her mask (Honestly does that really work?!) Anyway, by devious design her friend gets them locked into an agreement to teach a children's basketball team together (it's a charity thing) and they wind of course falling in love (duh, I read ROMANCE novels!). Anyway it's a very cute story about not judging a book by it's cover and acceptance. And loving oneself which is ultimately what you should do. No matter what you think you look like, what you think about yourself you can't experience love someone else completely until you can love yourself.
