So I took Dementia’s Advice…

Dementia is not her real name. Dementia is her online name. She doesn’t have dementia. It’s a long story. But I took her advice and I found a meme on another blog so that I could move past my blogger’s block (Marie’s blog is the one I found the meme on, to be exact…Marie is her real name. She doesn’t have dementia either. http://booksdownsouth.wordpress.com) Here’s the meme:

From MizB’s Should Be Reading Blog http://shouldbereading.wordpress.com (I do not know if MizB has dementia)

The only thing you have to do to participate is answer three questions:

• What are you currently reading?
• What did you recently finish reading?
• What do you think you’ll read next?

What am I currently reading? I am not reading one particular book at this point because I am researching Ash Wednesday and Lent. Today was my first Ash Wednesday service and I have been learning about what Episcopalians do, as a rule, for Lent since I am new to anything other than Easter Sunday and Christmas. I have learned that Episcopalians, as a rule, do not have rules about Lent. Ha! You see what I did there? Rule, as a rule?? Anyway, we can make our own minds up about what we feel like we should or should not do. Which is awful nice, lemme tell you, cause my boyfriend doesn’t eat seafood, as a rule, which would make for Hard Times On Fridays, get me? He sometimes has dementia.

What did I recently finish reading? I recently finished reading the newest issue of This Old House magazine. Does that even count?? Must it be a book? I have a backseat full of books from the library and I can’t find the time to even start one of them. This Old House magazine has articles! It’s loosely based on a bookish format. It counts.

What do I think I’ll read next? Possibly that stack of books in the backseat of my car from the library or possibly the stack of comic books on loan for the last year from my boyfriend that is gathering dust beside my bed or maybe the 3 books that are on my dresser that have also been gathering dust for the better part of a year. Maybe this meme will help me stop worrying about a blog topic long enough to focus and pick up a book that is laying around. It may also help with my dementia. 

Here’s a pretty sunset photo I took at my house this afternoon with the pond full to almost overflowing from our Noah Worthy Flood last night. The frogs are so happy about the rain that they are right now, this very instant, singing so loudly outside that the window panes are rattling.
