Why I hate to read...

I have not been to the library for a very long time.  Hense, I have not been reading a lot lately either.  But just a few days ago, I went to the library for the first time in a very long time.

I have read three books since then.  That's right - three.

That means that first thing in the morning, I grab my book and read.  I get home from work and read.  I go to my evening activities, come home and read.  I read before I go to bed.  My whole life is spent reading.

Which means...all day long all I can think about is reading my book when I get home.

I think...

What is going to happen in the book?
Is everything going to turn out?
Is so-and-so going to die?
Etc
etc
etc

My whole life is spent reading....

or thinking of reading.

That is why I hate it.  But I also LOVE it.

Excuse me....while I go back to my book

Surprise!!

This week I flew across country to surprise my sister for her birthday.  I was not sure how it would go...would she like it?  Would she not like it?  You never know how someone is going to react.  Overall, I think it was a good reaction.

While we were there we helped her lay some bricks that she had planned to do this week.  It took 4 of us 7 hours to lay them.  She was really glad we were there to help!!

It was not all work though.  We also spent quite a while on Monday at Ikea!  It was a nice shopping trip but I had to use one of my sister's old suitcases to cart home my purchases.

I got home this afternoon and I am now completely exhausted.  I also went to Zumba tonight so that might be part of the reason I am exhausted!

It was a nice trip though...
