I should be sleeping

I don't even have the excuse of being at the boyfriend's place right now. I'm simply awake too late, which is the case 99% of the time. I should at least be reading. Although blogging is more productive than playing my game. And something that should be done since it has been over a week. But I told myself I'd do a little reading tonight. You see, I've had the last Harry Potter book since the day it came out, however long ago that was. Quite some time ago. But I haven't read it. I've diligently read all the others, but not the last one. When I was back in Idaho for Christmas my sister received the movie for the next to the last one as a Christmas gift. We watched the movie one evening while I was there. I hadn't seen it yet. I have read that book, only once and I don't remember it very well. I felt as though a lot of stuff was left out, even though I don't remember a lot from the book. I did like the movie though. Anyway, it made me want to come back and read the last book. And then read the one before it again. Will I actually do so? Hopefully. I'm such a slacker when it comes to reading anymore. I really need to stop being that way. Even if I can't bring myself to read some of the educational sociology stuff that I really do find interesting, some engaging fiction is better than nothing. So we'll see, hopefully I will start it tomorrow. Because I really should sleep after writing this...

Christmas was pretty good. It's always nice to be back in Idaho, although I have one major complaint that I do feel bad about. It's smoke. My mom's a smoker (and yes, I did smoke for a year) and I could hardly stand it while I was there. It wasn't because she smelled like smoke or anything like that. It's because she smokes in the house. And it's not a large house. So I felt like there was constantly smoke in the air while I was there. I grew up with it my whole life and didn't notice it, which is funny. Now it's totally obvious to me. When I went back in the summer I noticed it but not as much. I guess in the summer the windows are open and that sort of thing, though. I don't really feel as though I can throw a fit and tell her to go outside or something. It's her home and she does a lot for me. But man it started getting to me. The day I left my sinuses started bugging me and I was attributing it to that. But then by the time I got back to W. Washington and was picked up by the boyfriend it was turning into a cold. So now I'm sick. Merry Christmas and happy New Year, heh. Second time I've been sick this year, and I rarely get sick once a winter. What's going on?

I need to feel better soon so I can do a little shopping. I'm getting fatter, which needs to stop, but I'll go into that on another blog. But I received some money for Christmas and I really need to go get some new jeans, undies, and shoes. My only pair of comfy semi-dress shoes have the sole falling off! Any suggestions for a place with comfy plus size undies and comfy shoes that are wide-width? NOT heels. Ok, it's really time to go...
