I've always been a deep thinker...an analyzer...and I've found in the past 10 years or so, I tend to think 'what if...' a lot... Not really in a regretful way, just a deep in thought sorta way where I wonder things like 'what if I had had good skin in highschool? ' (I was the definition of acne) Would I have at least gone on one frigging date? Would I have been popular? (not that I minded my group of friends...remember, I think these 'what ifs' in a way that isn't full of regret)... to things a little more deep, like, ' What if I hadn't married S? Where would I be right now?' My wheels are always turning, thinking...perfectly fine with the Good Lord chose for me, but, always curious.
Which leads me to this.... N and I went to the library last week for like, the first time in a year...I had let our card expire because I am terrible at bringing the books back on time...and late fees were getting a little annoying :s Anyways, I decided we'd try the library again, and I made myself promise that'd I'd bring the books back on time...I even asked my MOM to send me a reminder when the time comes near...lol...So N and I went to the library (jeesh I'm terrible at getting off track..), he got his books and a wii game, and I took one last look at the books, and totally judged one book in particular by its cover...It has a girl on the front blowing a pile of snow from her hands...never heard of the author before, but I added it to my pile.....without reading anything that the book was about....
Fast forward a few days, and I finally got a chance to sit and read it while the daycare kids were either sleeping or watching a movie...and holy crap it's about a woman, my age, who sits in her car one day, thinking 'what if' ...and wakes up the next morning 5 years in the past!...So I won't get into too much detail in case you want to read the book, but it's totally cool because she is now faced with the dilemma of does she want to change her future by changing the past, or will she choose the same paths so her life brings her back to where she left off? I am a little over half way through the book, but I am loving it! ...
Annnddd now I ask myself THIS, and analyze THIS...WHY the hell did I pick THIS book, out the whole library? Coincidence? Fate? Irony laughing in my face? Whatever it is, it scares me...
