Sure, I'll have more wine

I haven't been writing much, I know. It's not that I've been too busy, I just avoid the task because I don't feel like I've got anything to say. Maybe it is busyness that has kept me away because I can't string together sentences or thoughts to create a coherent entry. Instead, I've been reading other people's words and stories. I consider this a little victory since I've previously written about wanting to read more.

The book club is to thank, in part, but the irony of the club is that we speak very little about the book and more about food, public vs. private education and who we should kick out/admit into the group. Still, I'm encouraged to read even outside of our reading list. I've admitted myself into Vincent Lam's Bloodletting and Miraculous Cures, a book I've always wanted to read and finally am because I want to better understand Helena's med school experience. Last month, I read Rex Pickett's Sideways for pleasure and because I found it in the Chapters bargain bin for $5. Incidentally, my wine intake has increase since the purchase.

I guess this is all a step towards becoming the person I want to be. Someone who is better read, organized, more frugal and cooks healthy and fulfilling meals. I do miss my music. I've been spending less time searching for mp3s and more time researching recipes. I blame my external hard drive which has kidnapped my iTunes library and refuses to negotiate. I'm only really sad about it when I want to make mix CDs. The rest of the time I'm enjoying CBC Radio podcasts and the occasional Jazz FM programming.

Stay warm.

Remember the CD you gave me as one of the house warming gift? Even though it was 2 years ago, good music never superannuated I must say.
