52 Things/Week 3: Read One Book in a Week - Incomplete

I began last week with the intent to read one book in a week.  I chose the book "All Families are Psychotic" by Douglas Coupland with only the prior knowledge that reading this book will help me to appreciate my family more because they aren't as bad as this family is.

(Batman: The Animated Series, "Perchance to Dream")

I started up on Sunday and planned to read 4-5 chapters a day to get through the 29 chapters in the book.  It's an easy read and brings you quickly into the story, so I was very excited I chose this book for the challenge!  It's about a family of two parents, who have been divorced for some time, and their three adult children.  The come together in Florida to watch the daughter, Sarah, be launched into space.

Halfway through the book, and halfway through the week, I petered out.  Maybe Christmas week wasn't the best choice for this one.  I will finish the book, hopefully this week, and I will take on this challenge another week with another book!  I will now have to double up on one week of challenges, because, as I planned, these 52 things will be completed within the year.

That said, I continue to look over my list and I realize there are some things I need to start preparing for now (like completing a triathlon or paying off one debt over $500 or filing for divorce).  It's an ongoing project and I really feel that 2013 is going to be spectacular!  2012 has been a series of ups and downs.  I've been pulled to the near-breaking point and have come back together.  I have been stepped on and built up.  2013 looks like it'll shape up quite nicely for me! 

Best of luck in 2013 to you!
