Oh Yeah

Member how I said I wasn't gonna watch the movie? Well, I did. It was on youtube. I also found the first chapter to the next book on Stephenie Meyers website and read that. I am such a nut.

Addiction

Geez. I am a mess. I can't think about anything besides these books.

There has been an upside to them that I hadn't expected or planned on. They are incredibly - hmm - romantic. (Don't want Weena to say TMI :) Magical.

I refuse to go on and on about them - I am sure no one wants to hear it. I don't even want to hear it.

So let's see. . .
Ah, It's Thursday. THAT has me a bit down. I am past the halfway mark on spring break. I always get so wrapped up in being at home over the long breaks. I have to force myself to go out. And I LOVE my job. I can't even imagine what going back to work must feel like for people who are less than thrilled with their job. And there are a few positives to going back for me. 21 to be exact. :) Probably way more than regular people with regular jobs.

And all in all, I would have to say I am a work-a-holic (another addiction). (I just wish school would start around 11am rather than 8 :) That is probably the worst thing about my job - but I can live with that.

I guess I am feeling rather lucky and content at the same time. Except I am not funny now. Other people make me see humor in life. (Unless of course I do something stupid, which actually occurs fairly often, just not this week:) So for all of you looking for a good laugh, I guess you will just have to wait until - no that's not true. Something rolling on the floor funny happened last night.

We were playing Rockband :) (addiction #99?) I am the permanent drummer now and hubby is the guitar player. About halfway through the song, the dog gone sound/stereo receiver turned off. We kept playing. The banging noises I was making to try to stay with the notes on the screen was absolutely hilarious. I sounded like a monkey with a pair of sticks beating around. Anyway, it was funny enough to have hubby CRYING! I guess I am capable of doing dumb things anywhere :)

The Contest

This is one of my photos on morguefile


I think I have figured out a way to beat it. Although when I said that, hubby asked if it was a contest. Well, maybe.





First off, you have to understand that I am NOT a re-reader. The only books I have ever "re-read" are books that I read aloud to my class every year. (It's so fun to see their expressions, it makes it almost like reading it the first time)





Even the absolute best books I have read in my entire life (see previous post here), I have not re-read. Not one single page. I'll admit I tried once. It didn't work. And I think I know why. Because I knew the end.





So that is how I plan to beat these books. I am going to stop. I am not going to finish the last book in the Twilight series. Hard? You bet. But I think I can do it. That way, I can re-read them and enjoy them again.





I tried an experiment yesterday. I left to go tan and get Drano -how mundane). I had started the fourth book and was probably 120 pages into it. When I got back, I started the book over again. It worked. I could do it.





I think I am going to win :)
