The First Step is Admitting You Have a Problem...

Hi, my name is Melissa and I'm a readaholic.

On Wednesday I checked out 3 new books at the library.

I didn't even make it home before I was trying to think of what to read next so I could reserve it at the library.

I finished one whole book yesterday.

I'm trying to limit myself so I don't finish another one today, though I could.

My dream job would be to get paid to just read books all day.

Brian would tell you that's what I do now.

But I'd like the pleasure of reading a whole lot more if I wasn't worried that my boss was going to walk in and catch me any second, or that someone in the office was going to rat me out.

~~

Speaking of my office, it's awfully quiet today.

No boss, no other assistants.

Just me in my cubicle, and one other agent who's shut himself in his office.

My workspace is looking pretty dull. I need to decorate with pictures or something.

The only thing of "mine" is my wedding announcement.

If I loved where I worked, maybe I'd put the effort in.

But I just want to go home.

~~

I started shaving my legs regularly again.

I am kind of a slacker in the winter because it's so dang cold.

Gross, I know.

But this was my offering to Spring, so that it would come and stay for a while.

Then it snowed, and rejected my offer.

Fine, I'll take it back.

Sorry, Brian. :)

~~

I'm way excited to go to St. George for Spring Break.

I've decided Brian and I are pretty simple people.

Some people want to take these exotic trips for their Spring Break.

We just go to St. George every chance we get.

It's got biking for Brian, and shopping for me.

And my sister and cousin to do crafty things with.

"Crafty" as in making crafts, not "crafty" as in sneaky.

Brian always gets confused. :)

~~

I went and did Yoga the other night.

I stretched places I didn't even know could be stretched.

But it felt awesome.

I think I'm going to go every week.

Now I just need to find a mat.

Using someone else's mat just freaks me out a little.

K, a lot.

~~

I think I need a new contact prescription.

Or to get cuter glasses and just wear those all the time.

I always get a headache when I wear my contacts.

I think my eyes have gotten lazy.

Actually, my left eye really is a lazy eye.

I had to wear a patch as a kid.

Like a pirate.

Pirates weren't as cool back then.
~~
I'm just so happy it's Friday.
Yay for the weekend!
