Back in the Day

When I was young I'm not a kid anymore, but some days I sit and wish I was a kid again. Well I do not know how much I really would want to be a kid again, in this day and time. Yesterday I spent 5 hours reading a book. I said FIVE HOURS! I have not done that since I was in school. I decided to say F working; I deserved a break. And with that I threw myself on the couch, coffee in hand, blankey on, and delved into a new book. Man I LOVE the smell of a new book. Paperback at that. I am not so much the fan of hardback unless it was a Nancy Drew. Sure I got up to refresh my coffee, supervise my brother doing laundry, and drain the lizard. Relax it's just an expression. I really do not have a lizard; indoor plumbing. It was such a great way to piss away the rest of the day. I also realized just how much I miss sitting and reading. Yesterday was a perfect day for it too. I had all the windows open and the breeze wafted in throughout the day, chilling the room at just the right time. The chimes on the patio played a melodic tune in the background. The birds chirped car alarm noises that they hear EVERYDAY. Squirrels barked at each other on the telephone lines. All I needed was for everyone to sit in my living room and make my dress with the mice. That would be awesome if that happened, as long as those bastards do not poop in my house. I just had a lot of work done. So with my new found (see rediscovered) love I will be spending a little time each nite reading. Running away from all the crap that happened during the day. Losing myself in someone else's drama.
