Anger, like love, CAN be bought....

It costs $12.95....I was looking for an inspirational read to go with the new Stephen King novel I had in my hand ready to purchase...it's called "Cell"....Mr. King dedicates this book to George Romero....so you can only guess where he's going with this baby...I can't WAIT to read it....well, I thought with my horror I would get something a bit uplifting...you know, to balance myself out a bit.....I happened upon the book "The Four Agreements"....I have heard many good good things about this little book and figured I would give it a go....and once I finished it, I thought I could share the wisdom with my sister...Let me tell you, the ONLY thing I will share this book with is the trash can....Don't get me wrong, there are good messages in this book...there really are...but you have to crawl through the dank, nasty muck to find them and they are few and far inbetween....I have never read a book that talked in absolute circles like this little jem was written....The writing style is simplistic and very, VERY repetitive. Reading through each paragraph is like reading it once forward, than backwards then forward and back two more times....Usually a book of this size takes me just a few hours to finish....this book took me three days to read...I would get so angry while reading this book that I would have to walk away from it or I would chuck it out the window.....why, you may ask, did I keep coming back for more torture if it really was that bad?....did you miss the part where I paid $12.95 for the book?....Everything you need to know about "The Four Agreements" can be read on the inside flap of the front cover...the rest of the book just embellishes, with terrible metaphors and repetitive drivel, the same theme....

So, I'm off to find comfort in my King of horror....I know I can count on him to be straight and to the "bloody" point....

Why oh why can't I....

Just finish a freaking project already!....I have about a hundred and one crochet projects currently in my "to do" basket and closet....I always start a really COOL thing with the absolute determination to finish it so I can pat myself on the back with a job well done, when, out of no where some glittery shiny object catches my eye and demands that I start work on it....I say kindly that I just don't have the time right now...that my other projects need to be done before I can start something new...but...they just scream at me..."NO!...touch me NOW!....play with me NOW!"....much like my husband does....I wish women came equipped with two sets of arms, instead of breasts (the useless buggers)....at least an extra set of arms could help me get things done....of course in that case....my husband probably wouldn't want to play with ME as much then....Soooo, I'm stuck with one set of arms, a pair of useless breasts, and a house full of unfinished projects....That's the life of an Aries....
