Dork Alert

I realized a few things today. First.... I have an addiction, its not a bad one, but its an addiction none the less. Second....I keep saying I need a new hobby, but I realized upon typing about my addiction, that I need no new hobby, I need to embrace the addiction and use THAT as my hobby.  

What is this addiction that I speak of, and how can it cure my lack of hobby? Books. I was like a kid in a candy store today. I went into a store for a bottle of water and a birthday card. Walked out of the store with about fifteen books. Some of the ones I bought surprised even me, as I am not sure when I will actually read them since they are out of my "safe zone". I love more than anything a biography, autobiography, a memoir, or something that tells a life story. I scored a Julie Andrews book, which I am super stoked about, and it is on the top of my reading list. I am sure without a single doubt in my mind that my mom will likely be reading it the moment I finish it. I also scored a book on A-Rod, who is not someone I would normally be interested in, but figured I might learn something about baseball in the process.

The ones that I want to read, but do not have yet are as followed, in no particular order:

I am Ozzy. 

The Long Hard Road Out of Hell By Marilyn Manson

Kitty Kelly's Oprah

Odd list, but that's me! So to the hobby part.....ummmm what can I say other than "idle hands"? That's me too. I have realized lately, that I really have to find something to occupy my mind. I attempted to crochet and knit, didn't go so well. Thought about jewelry, sewing, scrap booking, and a million other things that I can not wrap my mind around. I walked into my spare bedroom, and saw the books and figured no need to start something new, I have plenty of books that need to be read. So I am going to force myself to focus on reading. I have always loved it, I am ready to rekindle that flame.
