Yeah, so…..I’m totally addicted to those Stephenie Meyer “Twilight” books.  Yes, I know they’re not that good.  Yes, I know that blah blah blah.

Seriously, I needed something to take my mind off of work and applying to school.  What could be better than these angst-ridden vampire teenagers in love?  I mean, there are no sub-plots, no lengthy descriptions, no frills.  It’s just one linear scene after another.  It’s like watching an action movie.  You know the script isn’t that great, but the car chases are just so cool.  Ah, what can I say.  I make no excuse.  I’m enjoying myself too much.

 

So much too much, in fact, that I can’t get anything done.  I’m not allowed to read the third book until I send off my pension forms and I can’t read the last book until my grad application is submitted.  Yikes.  I need goals like this more often!  On that note, I’m not allowing myself to drink beer until I’ve studied my GRE words.  Those who have been near me lately (of which there are about two or three people) will know that my sanity depends very much upon a cold beer when I get home from work.  

And speaking of work, I received a call from the nanny agency I applied for.  Hmm, I wonder how that’s going to turn out.

Oh man, you know it’s been a long day when you have a bottle of beer in one hand and the phone in the other and you put the beer up to your ear to talk.

 

I need a new job.
