Beds, Book Blogging and I just can't sleep...

Well that title pretty much says it all. In theory I should be sleeping soundly as I am finally on a break from the cold snowy East Coast weather. I should be basking in the 80 degree temperatures without a care in the world. This takes me to the first item in the title Beds. I need a new bed back at home. Mr. X and I need to size up as it's become common place for the dog to share. So in comes the bed thing. I want a soft plush experience of sleeping on a cloud while he would rather something a bit more firm. Well firm is what I got here this week folks and guess what I am up at 4:30am instead of sleeping. So I will pass on the firm (the bed here is memory foam I am imagine in firm its like sleeping on a hard box). What do you do when you and your partner don't agree on a bed? I suggested the sleep number but apparently he had not heard good things so back to square one and no comfy bed. Cloud. sleep. Sounds so lovely.


Why I don't book blog...I have been thinking about this a while. I read a book a day. I am fairly articulate. You would think this would be a great combination for a book blogger. Well no. The problem is I read a lot I have no meter for taste. You put it in my hand and I will likely read it from cover to cover. I don't have my filter for taste. This is not to say I don't recognize a piece of crap or an utterly fantastic story; however I don't want to be the person who just regurgitates bunch of crap from the book and gives a mediocre review. I think I would have a problem actually criticizing someones writing talent when I haven't even had to balls to have mine published. Not to mention more often than not I usually find something redeeming about novel and you know what is really disconcerting a reviewer who only gives 4 star reviews. How do I trust their taste?? So I don't review books.

So anyway. Here I am still awake with only a blog to show for it. Considering the last time I actually blogged I would say this may actually have been productive morning...
