Lifes Like That

When I go to purchase a new book, I tend to stay away from books that are trilogies or sequels.  The main reason for this, is because once I start reading the first book, I get hooked and know I’m going to drive myself crazy waiting for the next book to come out.  Unfortunately my husband doesn’t think of these things and this past Christmas he bought me a book that is going to be a series.  I started reading the book and yes now I’m hooked so again I will be waiting for the next book to come out and then the next one.

I’m certainly not complaining that he bought me a book, but now because I know that there are more books to follow in this series I am going to be anxiously checking out bookstores so I don’t miss the ending.  How about you guys?  Do you purchase single volumes or do you go for the series?

There has been a lot of controversy these days over what are legal steroids and what are not. I know that a lot of body builders will use these types of supplements to help enhance their workouts, but after hearing a lot about the side effects of these types of drugs I really have to wonder if the ends justify the means. Although some of these drugs are legal and you are allowed to use them, I have to wonder if putting those chemicals in your body will affect you negatively down the road. I guess if I were to ever contemplate taking them, I would have to do a lot of extra research on my end to decide if it would be worth it to me.

I just got finished talking to my best friend on the phone and it seems to me like her oldest son is getting back in trouble again. Although he is denying it, she’s pretty sure that he is back on drugs again. So she is once again trying to talk him into checking into an addiction treatment center. Unfortunately right now he won’t even admit that he has a problem so the chances of him reaching out for help right now is quite slim. I feel so bad for her as I know that there is absolutely nothing I can do to help her out in this matter. I guess all I can do for now is just let her know that I’m here for her and I am sending good thoughts her way and his.
