The four or more club

I was looking through my CDs last night (yes, I know that they will probably be quickly passe, but I did buy another one this week), and realized that I had several artists that I had three CDs by, but only a few that I had four or more by. The artists are (in alphabetical order):

Amy Grant
Cindy Morgan
Rich Mullins
Fernando Ortega
Michael W. Smith
Trisha Yearwood

My musical tastes, obviously, run to folk/pop/country. Some of my CDs are less conventional.

Books

Although I haven't had as much time for reading, I have had time for ordering books. I collect nonfiction books that were published by a certain company in the 1970's-early 1980's. These books can sell for significant amounts of money -- but I just won in an auction 5 books published by them, all at about half the price that the books are usually sold for! Squeals of joy!

Sorry for not posting

Life has taken some unexpected turns in the last few weeks. Today I have been cranky, tired of not having my usual schedule and tired of not being able to accomplish everything that I need and want to do. I have a tendency to take a great deal of pleasure and worth from how much I accomplish (I need to try to get away from this). Anyway, I managed by the skin of my teeth (and foregoing something else) to finish one of my pressing projects by the end of October. Other projects are slowly getting done, but my reading of nonfiction has not been happening. I miss that.

I did read Dee Henderson's newest book, Before I Wake. (I was on the waiting list at the local library, and when I got it I decided to read it and return it quickly. I read it in less than one day! [I know. Another accomplishment that I'm talking about!])

I am not totally fasting from DVDs and TV now (of course, as I said before, I wasn't able to fast totally from TV anyway, except for a few days now and then). I watched one and a half shows of 1 VS. 100 with a family member. I watched Aquamarine (which was recommended to me -- I found much of it rather silly, but it was so silly that it became kind of good). The library got in a box set of Groucho Marx's TV show and Jack Benny's TV show; I watched parts, both with family members and on my own. (That sounds like a lot of watching, but that's been over the past month or so. It's still a lot less than I have done at times in the past.)
