I know I've been absolutely terrible at posting lately. It's because I've been obsessed with reading. I got myself a library card and have 3 books out from the library I'm trying to get through before the due date. But that's what I do in my spare time rather than blog. Well, that and TV. Maybe once all my shows have their season finales next week, I will blog more. Maybe.
But I just wanted to share this really quick. I drove by the house today that caught on fire a week and a half ago (I am obsessed with this house because it's so close to me and I just want to help. If that happened to my family, I hope we would have tons of support from the community) and there was a banner along the fence advertising highlandhousefire.blogspot.com. A neighbor set up this blog to make community members more aware of the situation and hopefully gather donations to help this family start over. You can read this info on the blog, but basically the family living there is disabled (the husband has horrid back problems, tumors on his kidneys, diabetes, etc. and the wife has MS among other things) and were living off disability income. Neither one can hardly move around. They were renting the house and did not have renters insurance so they will not be collecting insurance money at all on all the items they lost, which was EVERYTHING. It seriously breaks my heart thinking about this poor family. So, if you have a little extra you can donate. I am so wishing I had not sold some of my furniture. I would give it to this family in a heartbeat. But I will definitely donate as much as we can give. After all, how can I ever expect help in a tragic situation if I don't help others?

Well on another note, lets get together, it will have to be when A.J. isn't sick, he's got a cough/ head cold right now, but I so want to hang out!
What books are you reading?
