Chat Between Chapters: Give up your Shoulds

 Give up your shoulds – what should we be doing instead of reading?

 Julie:

Things I should be doing (and usually am doing) instead of reading:

• Sleeping – what’s that again?
• Working – this takes up so much of my life
• Caring for my kid – this takes up the rest of my life, not that it’s necessarily a bad thing
• Caring for my pets – why are living things so demanding of my time?
• Eating – sometimes standing up, because of things mentioned above
• Cleaning the house – well, not that I really do very often
• Bathing – sometimes I get to be clean!
• Talking on the phone with my family – especially the hubby who is away
• Watching TV – oh let’s get real I can’t remember the last time I turned it on
• Driving (well, thanks to audiobooks, I do still read and drive!)

Lynn:

My list of should be doing instead of reading is pretty similar to Julie’s. Especially when I spend an entire weekend reading and not being the least bit productive.

• Cleaning – Who wants to do that anyway.
• Enjoying the outdoors – you know what’s outdoors? Bugs. And allergens. Pass.
• Socializing with friends – My friends think this. Not me.
• Getting ahead on blog posts.

How about you? Any shoulds you want to fess up about?
