Reading and what it does to me.

If you know me at all even a little bit you should know I LOVE LOVE LOVE to read. Cant get my hands on enough books most the time. Reading takes me into this whole other world. I guess for me its an escape from the right here right now and allows me to see how others live.

You see other people have always interested me. Yes I have been called nosy among other things but honest to God most the time I ask questions is cause it interests me. I like to know the whys and the hows and how did you get to that conclusions. I want to know all the meat behind whats right in front of my face. I like to know how they think per say. Books give you that advantage with out asking anyone a single question and possible offending them cause they think you are rude for asking.

Books also get me interested in things I never thought of before. Like here lately I have been reading Amish books. Those Amish do a lot of quilting and yes I want to take a class now on how to quilt. On one hand I think I am crazy and on the other hand I keep thinking who in the heck will take this class with me so I don't feel all alone. Ok but heres the real catch. I don't really like quilts. I know, pick your jaw up. Now you really think I am nuts. But think about it for a second. If I learned how to make a quilt when someone has a baby I can make them one. I can say I made it with my own two hands. That I didn't just tie two pieces of cloth together and give it to them (altho I think those blanket things are awesome I just think some more thought and time in it will be that much more special you know?) So today I looked up. A class I looked up a class I can take. Don't know if I can con someone into to going with me. But sooner or later when I get the money I am gonna take the class!

Yup till then I am just gonna have to dream. Hey if you think you want a quilt drop me a line!
