"Before you, Bella, my life was like a moonless night. Very dark, but there were stars, points of light and reason. ...And then you shot across my sky like a meteor. Suddenly everything was on fire; there was brilliancy, there was beauty. When you were gone, when the meteor had fallen over the horizon, everything went black. Nothing had changed, but my eyes were blinded by the light. I couldn’t see the stars anymore. And there was no more reason, for anything."

I'm still alive...

Hello...I'm going to try this again. I know its been a long time since I've been around and I need to fill everyone in on what's been happening in my life. Soon after my last post, Michael and I found out we were pregnant...in early July I miscarried the baby and our lives got extremely hectic. Since the miscarriage, we've been to see a reproductive specialist who diagnosised me with polycystic ovarian syndrome. I'm still ovulating every month, but extremely late in the cycle, making it very difficult to even become pregnant. After a few months of testing, we started our first round of Clomid this month to help us produce healthy, happy eggs.

At the same time that all of this was happening, I also received a promotion at work. While I love it, it means a lot more time in front of the computer and a lot more meetings. I'm exhausted once I get home.

I've pretty much been coming home, picking up around the house, and going to bed. Not much reading time. However, I think I'm finally starting to get back on track and I've been reading again on my lunch hour and actually managed to finish a book already this week. Hopefully, I'll begin to be able to start posting at least once, if not twice a week. I know I'm obviously not going to make my reading goal of 100 books this year, but I am hoping to make at least fifty!

Reading Goals 2009

Each year, I feel it is important to make a list of reading goals. In years past I've made huge ridiculous reading goals that I have never met. This year I'm going to try to make these goals much more reasonable.

So here they are in no particular order:

  1. Complete the 2009 100+ Reading Challenge
  2. Choose the above books from my massive TBR pile
  3. Try to finish and complete at least 5 of the series I have accumulated including Harry Potter.
  4. Keep my blog current and reviews current (I'm already starting off behind so I can only imagine how this will go)

Those are going to be my goals for the year. I think I can accomplish them, however, I do worry about completing at least 100 books, but we shall see as the year progresses.
