Going Back to Some Old Friends

Wow, my third divorce, and I'm not even out of high school! Yikes, that can't be good. Well, technically this is my second; Cuddles and I aren't divorced yet. Oops....

BabyPowdr here, saying a fine farewell to my love. Yes, I'm sorry television, but it's just not working out... sorry. Let's just be friends, I'll see you around, okay?

Yep, I'm BabyPowdr, owner of her own personal library, three different library cards, and a Chapter's credit card-like thing. And I'm kissing television good bye. I mean, not for good, but for a bit, anyhoo. I do have that super video collection, and my friends all get a million gazillion channels. But I'm choosing to dust off my hardcovered friends and give them another run-through. As if I haven't read all the books in my room and living room at least once, but there are many more out there I haven't touched. I think I need to read them again, or try them out.

What could be better on a stormy night than a good Agatha Christie book? Maybe an Alfred Hitchcock movie. Or how about something for one of those days at the beach? Nothing goes better with tanning than a sappy teen novel. Let's see here, Sweet Valley, or Elizabeth, or maybe just a good old classic, like Gone with the Wind, or Little Women. Yeh, well, Passions would be nice too, but, nah....

So it's dinner time. What is more "ruder" (Is that a word? Better read the dictionaries to find out.) than reading at the table? Well, certainly lots of things. But Nancy Drew, Fearless, and Revelations go well with any meal. But The Simpsons were always good, or a sitcom. Nerr....

It's late, and you have school tomorrow, so why not get a good old laugh out loud funny book? Junie B Jones is great no matter what your age is. If not, then how about Fudgemania? There's always late night TV, but Jerry just isn't funny anymore. Plus, you need those good old bathroom books, for in the tub and, yeh.... Comic books are also good, and I like to read the Saddle Club. Try Stevie, The Inside Story. Hilarious, I swear.

I'm sorry, but I get the couch, and the chair. No! I don't want the remote holder. Just the chair. Sorry, but you don't need it. I want it to read on when I'm sick, or just relaxing. You can have the coffee table too. I want that lamp. No, I don't need the SuperBowl snack bowl and matching tray. I'll take the coasters, though. Thank you. Sorry things didn't work out, TV...
