A Love Affair Only a Geek Would Understand

Ever since I could remember, I have LOVED books. Not only reading them, but the smell of the paper. Especially old ones. Whenever I find a quirky little used bookstore, the first thing I do when I walk in is take a deep breath. I guess that's why whenever I move to a new city, one of the first things I do is get a library card. That way I can go at my leisure and stay for hours absorbing good literature and taking in the smell of all the old books and paper.

Seriously, folks, the smell of paper is an addiction for me. I suppose it has to be a certain kind of paper. You know...aged really well or just a nice crisp clean smell. Also, if I'm in the library the books that have gotten the most "love" make my heart glad because not only does that mean people actually read but that it will inevitably smell like heaven. *Unless it's grossly misused and abused by people who don't respect any sort of literature*

Also, another love of mine is anything crafty. So when I stumbled upon this L I N K this afternoon, my geeky heart just about exploded with glee. Designer paper goods. I love it. I collect thank you cards intending to send them to random people, but sometimes I just can't bare to part with them. Mostly because of the print...and the smell.

*sigh* I know I'm weird. Taking in this sort of papery goodness can only be taken in moderation. Due to allergies, I last somewhere in the range of 2 hours before my eyes get goopy and itchy. Anyway, take in the papery goodness. I'm sure your heart will be delighted. :)

Done

I am so happy that I'm done moving! Now comes the almost unwelcome task of unpacking. As it would have it, I've moved into a smaller space and I need to throw out a few things. Maybe, once everything is cleaned up, I'll take pictures. My younger brother, the previous tenant of the space, has left the bathroom a complete mess. Thank goodness for Scrubbing Bubbles and some pretty amazing toilet cleaner. It'll probably take a another day or two to get the shower to the point where I won't be afraid to shower in it. Its pretty nasty I tell you. Anyway, I'm running out of things to write about today. I'm not feelin' it...

No time

It's been roughly 5 weeks since I last posted anything. Work and school have almost literally sucked the life out of me. My dad and I just got internet at the house, which does make things a lot easier. Even then...I really don't have time to do any real studying. Here's a typical day for me: 7 a.m. alarm goes off. try to wake up. press snooze a couple of times. wouldn't be human if i didn't, right? 7:15 a.m. actually get out of bed 7:20 a.m. shower 7:30 a.m. get dressed for work 7:40 a.m. try to remember to: fill my water bottle grab a can of soup & crackers for lunch grab CNA books & supplies eat something on the way out the door then curse myself for forgetting to grab my smock and name tag. unlock/lock the front door, again. 7:45 a.m. drive to work 8 a.m - 4 p.m work 4 p.m. - 4:45 p.m. take coworker(s) home. 5 p.m. - 9 p.m. CNA class 9:15 p.m. change into pj's. find s...

Hooray!

I've lost 9.2 pounds in the last 6 days. I'm excited! The picture really doesn't have anything to do with weight loss per se, but it does have the word reduce on it and I took the picture, so I'm putting it up. :-]
