Step away from the book....

nice & easy now....just put the book down~ Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince that is. I am such a helpless book addict. Once I start a book, I can't put it down. I am one of those poor souls that gets so caught up in the story that I forget it's just fiction & am always terribly depressed when I reach the last page. It's like my best friend has died. It's over, gone.... I am the same way with a really great movie~ I want to know more (NO! I NEED to know more!) It's sick I tell you. For instance when I watched the very last frame of the Lord of the Rings Trilogy I just wanted to cry. "It's over...it can't be" I tell myself. So essentially I rush to get through a book & then am beside myself when I am finished. It's really a bizarre torture rital. Does anyone know a support group for this kind of thing????
What's even worse is that I am EXHAUSTED...I have been wanting to crawl in my bed since about 5pm. So why am I up at 10:30 pouring over the most recent events at Hogarts??? Again, I blame it on 'the sickness'. The kids have been in bed for 2 1/2hours and I haven't gotten a darn thing done except reading. Hmph! It's insanity! And I am like this with ALL books....even magazines. If there is any form of reading material I HAVE to read it..cover to cover. Even catalogs & junk mail! (But the true obsession lies with stories of substance.) So if anyone has any suggestions for my next great 'adventure' be sure to let me know. Alaskan winters are long & I'm already planning for my next great escape!
Off to bed...walk past the book Stacy..do NOT pick it up...you can do it..atta girl............................
