I went to Barnes and Noble yesterday to find a book on photography.  They, OF COURSE, didn’t have it and I found myself being pulled to the self help section.
Not being a fan of the self help book because I can’t ever finish one, I don’t know why I went over there.
Just to see what was there, I started reading the titles of the books.
The best title that I found was, “If You Want Closure In Your Relationship. Start with your Legs.”  I actually spit out latte when I read that one.

I’m on a search for answers lately.  I was hoping after Shaun’s meeting last week that we would be handed the answers and a name for the problem.  Not the case.
So instead of searching for a name, I’m searching for what my next step in the whole process is.

There was a book I bought and I got to the middle before I began to grow bored with it.  For once I wasn’t being torn into such self awareness that I couldn’t handle reading it anymore.  I was actually BORED with it.   I jumped to the last part of the book instead of being suckered into reading the whole thing so I can get the full fulfillment.

During the whole process of this self help thing, I decided the best way to get through where I am, outside of therapy, is to to write it out.  I opened up my email and began writing chapter one of my own book.   Instead of blogging it, I’m actually going to write it out and re-read and MAYBE even put some sort of organizational rhyme to it.
Once I get to the end of the chapters I am writing, I grab the list of names I would use if I wrote a book and use it as motivation to get to the next part.

The book is titled; “How to read a Self Help Book. or not. A walk through failed attempts at fixing my problems, by reading about yours.”   Or something like that.  I haven’t decided.
Chapter one is already got a title: “How to not kill him and bury him the backyard.”

What I need from you is what you get from Random and Odd. What would you suggest I put in there? What are some witty chapter titles?  I think Chapter two will be, “I’m writing a book through my email account because I don’t have Microsoft Word on my computer.”  who knows?

The book, that is nothing more than just my personal attempt at getting down to the bare bones of my life, will never be published.  Oh dear no.  But after I finish it. (ha! now THAT is funny) I will post it somewhere so you can read it if you’re interested.

Things the ‘book’ will cover: Co-dependency, Anxiety, Divorce, Ex’s, Failures, Accomplishments, Secrets, being a step mom, yeah, pretty much everything you’ve read on here…with just less rambling. maybe.
Suggestions?
