I Bit My Fit, or My Fit, Bit

   My family has me hooked up, against my will.
   Yes, I asked for a Fit Bit, for my birthday(which continues)but...
    Now I am drowning in cords, with another thing to charge. Technology is work, and cords. I have a cord basket! They have their own basket! Its too much.
    I like my Fit Bit, who doesn't like to know how many steps you take in a day? I don't love it, but my new arm jewelry is tracking my every move. I just have to click another App/button/thing to see my stepping history. I have yet to do whatever it takes to do the sleep, exercise, food intake thing, its too much like a job, and I have retired.
   Let's just all take a long walk to the park and back. Done, without the twitching, thinking I have to find my cell phone to do something, god I hope it doesn't have a password!
     All of this venting, is not the blog, just venting!
     The real reason for this little ditty is my August reading list.( How many times can I say, I love August! Let me count the ways!Thank you Elizabeth Barrett Browning 1806-1861, best poem ever)
  Now if I can reel all this in...
       The Mockingbird Next Door, Life With Harper Lee- Marja Mills
       Why I Wake Early- Mary Oliver ( thank you Dani-girl)
       A Thousand Mornings-Mary Oliver
        I am Having So Much Fun Here Without You-Courtney Mann( could be Maum???cant read my writing, and Iam not getting up to look it up, the Fit Bit would be happy, but not me, and I win!!)
       Away- Amy Bloom( did not like her last book, but will give her another try)
       Lay It On My Heart-Angela Pneuman
An amazing group for August. Painting has consumed me all summer, however reading grounds me, so I find time.
       I have almost finished the Harper Lee book, and I believe that she never wrote another book, because of heat and humidity and not AC!! Her sister Alice and she, don't believe in technology or air conditioning! I think Ms. Lee may be a tad touched, as we say in the deep, a little unhinged!
     I am not convinced she even wrote "To Kill A Mockingbird" and I did not particularly like it.
     Nelle(she likes to be called Nelle!) said that she never wrote another book because of all the fame.
    That just seems weak to me, and southern women are not weak.
    You write a classic, best seller, prize winning book and never write another sentence!!! Honey you should have kept writing, dictate it to someone, if you hate to type. Sit back and sip on some sweet tea, and embrace your talent crazy Nelle! The tales you could tell, its not right. Things are a wee bit off in Alabama, at your house and I want to know details! Who ever heard of such, never write another book, they have pills for that!!!
    OK, need to step away from the computer and count my steps.
    Hope August is good to you, get a Fit Bit and get moving right over to your favorite reading spot!

   PSSS
    Phone just rang, Nurse on the line, asking me how I feel after my recent colonoscopy?
   Me- "Well I have had a migraine headache fore two day, but my hiney hole is good to go!"
   Nurse-" Now isn't that the sweetest thing!"
   Me- Now that is Southern, Harper Lee you could have written that!!!
