Obsession.... Total Obsession...

Okay... so I admit that I am slightly prone to addiction... I have been fortunate to miss the big two as in drugs and booze.... but yet, there are many areas of my life that are obsessive-compulsive, yeah, even addictive... and for the past two weeks I have been having a torrid and obsessive affair... Yeah, even in the midst of Missouri in the winter a person can have a fling that won't quit. I am living and breathing, going through the motions of being in class, watching tv with Mom, attending school ball games and functions... BUT... my mind is all the time secretly doing something MUCH more amazing...


Nope.. Sad to say, not this... I only could dream about having a special romantic fling by an ocean... Nope.. No new man...Nope... Definitely not this... I can't get into cleaning at my mom's house as much as I did at home... I am not secretly stashing and rearranging closets, drawers.... creating vignettes, doing amazing things with the tapestries of a home.. And I so miss that...

But.... it is this.... The Pillars of the Earth.


I am so mesmerized with this book. 970 pages of pure page turning obsession. And I didn't think I'd like it since it was about building a cathedral.... but oh, it is so nice.... Take care... I'll see you in oh, about two hundred pages.. That's all I have left. So. I'm. reading. much. slower.

Addicted.

No Joking!! I read that book in 1991 and couldn't put it down. It was mesmerizing. I had to know what was going to become of the bricklayers and the awesome cathedral. Since it was on Oprah, I must say, I think I need to read it again.

Ok, so I love this blog! It makes me laugh! I've noticed the book on your desk each time I've come in. It must be a good read. If only I had time...
