I was going to blog today but...
...the Red Sox were losing to the Twins (and what has happened to Jon Lester?)
...the Life Unexpected season finale was too amazing and I can't focus on anything else
...I'm worried about Leonard and Penny
...I had to go out for a run
...I had to renew my driver's license
...I had to read the last manuscript for the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Contest since the review is due tomorrow and it's 350 pages
...I had to pet the kitty
...I had to eat the leftover Easter candy
...I've only read 6 books so far in April because I've been so busy looking for apartments and moving
...I look at all the books sitting in boxes and piles in the other room and I can't even believe that these were all sent to me, to read.  It's overwhelming!  (In a good way!)

There was this Mercer Mayer book I had as a kid, one of the Little Critter ones, where Little Critter is telling you about what he meant to do, and what he did instead.  It exactly captures how I feel right now.  That despite my best efforts, I cannot seem to fit all the things I need to and want to do into the given day.  Like my manuscript, waiting to be edited and updated from my trip to Eugene.  Still waiting!  And it's not the only thing, let me tell you.  So, if blog postings are a little sparse over the next week, it's because I'm getting stuff done.  Reading books, 2 a day starting tomorrow for as long as I can go until life throws something else my way.

For now, I leave you with this.  My immediate to-read pile.  There are also to-read boxes.  Oh boy!
