My sisters coming to visit in a month.

Going to Ohio for Nat's wedding in September.

Diabeetus Testing Supplies

This made me laugh until I cried. I've watched it approximately 72,000 times this evening. I don't know why.

A Posting Fool

I know I've already posted twice today, but how exciting! I'm already getting rid of two of my used books to people on BookMooch. I'm up to three points, which means I can receive three books!!! Now I just have to go decide what I want...

MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

One Year

Today is the one-year anniversary of my engagement to my wonderful fiance'. July 8 will be two years of togetherness for us. Wow.

Enough Already!

So I've now also posted some books I want to get rid of on BookMooch. You can give away the books cluttering your home to people who wish to read them, and you can get NEW books to clutter up your home from others in the community. What a great idea! For just the cost of postage to mail off the little buggers, I can get a whole new set of stuff to read. My problem comes in figuring out what those books are. Right now, I have The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood to read after Jane Eyre is finished, so I've put out a request for the two companion novels, Little Altars Everywhere and Ya-Yas in Bloom. Not sure, though, if I'll really like the first (seems a little schmaltzy for my taste, in general), but I am nothing if not a completist. Well, I'm a little OCD, which MAKES me a completist. So I want to read ALL the books, if I read one. Sigh. A terrible, terrible addiction. Books are my drug of choice.

The Obsession Continues

I've joined Library Thing. So far, I've only listed the books on one of our three bookshelves, and I haven't listed anything that is truly Ricky's and not mine.

I continue to spend my free time reading book blogs, instead of actual books. Sigh. When Ricky awakens from slumber (he's on midnights indefinitely), I'll pick up my new Glamour magazine and take a break from the book blogs. Notice how I will NOT be picking up Jane Eyre. I really do love the book, but I'm not in the Gothic novel mood right now. Perhaps the sun has something to do with it.

New News

I accidentally went out and got very drunk with co-workers last Friday after work. Accidentally, in that I only meant to have a drink or two after work at Happy Hour, but it ended up being more like an eight or nine hour bender at a local sports bar. My co-workers are a bad influence on me.

My beautiful new computer is now up and running. And my beautiful new glasses are now sitting on my face. I've spent a lot of money this week...

Still working on Jane Eyre. I'd forgotten how much I enjoy that book!
