So okay, I read something. Yay me. And it took effort, real effort, to do so. I mean I enjoyed what I read. And I wanted to read what I read but … I’m still not feeling the reading love … yet. It’s there; I can feel the love lurking inside me, like a dormant pimple. One you want to appear so you can pop it (yup, I’m a pimple popper and know it’s wrong and gross and I have no idea why I’m sharing this with y’all) but won’t come until you gotta show your face somewhere more important than the grocery store. How I went from reading to pimple popping, I don’t know but I might be a writing genius.

An Old Coot Rants about Getting Old(ish)
Getting old is inevitable. Everyone gets old or …. hate to break this to ya, you’re dead or maybe Benjamin Button. But we all age. Sometimes gracefully. And sometimes less so. It’s been less so for me lately, which makes me feel like an old coot. And you know what old coots do: they rant. And they get to … cuz they old, yo. It’s one of the perks.

A Mini Non-Political Rant and Entertainment Prompts because Why Not?
So … I”m exhausted this Monday morning. Bone tired. Eyes barely open. And not because I’m Asian and my eyes are never wide open. Nope. My stupid fire alarm has been beeping every 20 minutes since 3:30 AM Sunday morning. There’s no fire (Thank God) or smoke. It’s not a low battery. Or dust or a creepy crawly disrupting the sensor (well, I don’t think so) but it appears from my diligent (aka frantic) research at 4:00 AM that my fire alarm is just at its end of life. I would like to take a hammer to it and speed up its demise.
2018: See Ya Later, Sucker
2019! You’re finally here! Thank you sweet baby Jesus! 2018 was not my best year if I’m being honest. No recap because more things sucked than did not suck (apparently I was not the only one who experienced this either). And I am, generally speaking, a glass half-full kind of girl. But not last year. Nope. Last year sucked and I have no desire to relive it.
2018 Best Books: It Must Have Been Love
C’mon, you know the song, right? Or am I just old? And possibly have bad music tastes too. Don’t judge! Nah, I’m cool being a nerd. I’m already a book nerd, might as well be a music nerd too! Since I traditionally use a song in the title of my annual best of books post, I chose Roxette beause I loved many, many books this year. And sure, sure, the next line in the song is “But it’s over now”, which also felt sadly appropriate. My love affair with books took a hit this year, but I still love them.
Happy Holidays and Bon Voyage 2018
Whoa. I can’t believe Christmas is next week and 2019 is just days away. To be fair, I’m pretty excited for 2019 because 2018 wasn’t all that awesome. It was a weird year, right? Both fast and painfully slow. A slow-moving train wreck that you cannot escape, even though you keep wailing that you want off right now! Or was that just me screaming?
