FEH...

I had every intention of getting up early this morning and getting a whole bunch of shit done. I have to food shopping, edit photos, go to the bank, go to the post office, do laundry, edit photos, make a book, burn CD's, edit photos, wrap gifts... you get the idea.

But no, last night a I gave in to my inability to fall asleep and hunkered down with a new book from Tamora Pierce. Damn you Tamora Pierce! Before I knew it it was 3:30 in the morning and now I am paying for it. I feel like I am hung over. I feel like ass. On the bright side, I am almost done with this book... I'll have to find another author to blame my sleeplessness on after this weekend.

I read my first Tamora Pierce book, Alanna, when I was in the 8th grade and have been hooked ever since. There were only three books out by her back then. She did eventually come out with a fourth, but then wrote nothing for over a decade. Now when she comes out with a new book I just swallow it whole. I lose sleep for about a week as I devour whatever new offering she has released. I realize I need to exercise some self control, but who can sleep without knowing what happens on the next page? Not me I tell you.

I also know I have an addictive personality... once I start something it's hard to stop. It's a good thing I don't smoke crack. However I am often distracted by the next shiny thing that comes along so even if I did have a robust crack habit, I would probably be on to something else within weeks. I won't even begin to write about my caffeine addiction... you've all heard it all before, and speaking of caffeine, it's starting to kick in this morning so now I can go get all the shit I had planned to do done.

On your mark, get set, GO!
