Who Needs Netflix!

 I have a library in my home.  <see photo>

It's awesome and cozy.  It has the right amount of light.  Has an awesome chair!  It's full of books and...

 it's seldom used.  


I am the type of reader that once I start a book... I don't want to put it down for hours.  I have been known to read them cover to cover and not sleep at night.  But I am always having things that I need to do, so who has hours to read?  

Not a business owner for sure!!

However, I have discovered the world of Audible books and have been downloading books from Amazon left and right!  I counted the number of books I have listened too, just in the last 6 months. 

********Drum Roll*******

TWENTY SEVEN!!

I clean the pool... in goes the headphones.

I clean the kitchen... in goes the headphones.

I craft, sew, cross-stitch, clean the house, go shopping, travel... wait at the doctors office or get my nails done... in goes the headphones!  I am not behind in my home projects....  NOPE!  I just listen to a book and stay busy the whole time!  

I have listened to entire series of books by Authors that took them years to write.  Just finished a series with 3 installments and each book was over 18 hours of listening pleasure!

I'm telling you there is an endless supply of great books out there, I have only scratched the service!

With a great pair of Airpod Pros with noise cancellation... I am forever in a different place!

Feels Pretty Damn Good!

I am finally a published author.  It's a great feeling to see your words in print.  I designed the cover and it is on Amazon to purchase.  I don't care if anyone buys it.  It's out there and that is enough!  The second book is so much better.  It is written better and has much more structure.  It took less time then the first, but sometimes you finish what you start, and you do it just for you... to prove you could. 

And I did it.

I am blocking the fairy Godmother and Cinderella.

So we didn't have curtains for a show.. I had to make shift some so I wrote in knights to be the curtain pullers and say some jokes between scenes.  ONE of these knights is now a special effects coordinator on movie sets and worked for 2 years on Stranger Things.  



Don't Drink the Water..... I'm fancy now!
