OH - MY - GOD ! ! ! !

OHMYGOD ! ! !
OHMYGOD ! ! ! ! !
OH-MY-GOD ! ! ! ! ! ! !

So, I’ve been reading this book.

It’s a book that I only pick up either when I’m heading to bed or when I’m on my lunch break. (O.k., not entirely true - - -I’ve also been known to pick it up on the weekend or after work if I’m not running around like a crazy lady.)

And the problem is this - - - it holds my attention ! ! ! !

Not just that !

I was reading it today and lunch and it’s starting to heat up ! ! !

Like, I had to FORCE myself to put the book down and drive myself back to work (reading as much as I could at the stoplights).

It was even HARDER to force myself to leave it in the car and not drag it back to my desk with me ! ! !

WOW !
It’s getting SOOO good ! ! !

And, like a giant dorkola, I’m sitting here at my desk now and I’m completely distracted because I keep thinking about this book and I’m running the scenarios of “what could happen next”.

I had SUCH a reaction while I was reading it too !
Like, my chest was getting all tight and I was literally on the edge of my seat !
I almost don’t WANT to go to happy hour tonight because I want to just go home and finish reading this book !

Of course, I won’t do that.

What I will do, however, is make sure I get there before the others so I can park in a good spot to see them pull in and read my book until they arrive.

(I am one sick pup, aren’t I ?)

The other problem with this book?

It’s one of those stories where I’m guaranteed to get good and pissed if it doesn’t turn out how I want it to.

I get like that with certain movies. I’ll be thoroughly enjoying myself until the ending. And if the ending isn’t what I was hoping it would be I walk out of the theater all pissed off and poor J gets to listen to me rant about how it wasn’t supposed to end that way.

I’m going to keep my fingers crossed with this book….

Even though I see the warning signs….

And hope that it’ll keep me as glued to it’s pages as it has and that I end up loving the ending.
