Nerd At Heart

There are "Little Miss" and "Mr." books written by Roger Hargreaver that's at the reading level of a 4th grader but meant for adults. They are so cute and funny especially when you give them as a gift to your "Little Miss" someone or "Mr." someone. For example, someone gave me Little Miss Scatterbrain a while back because if I'm not thinking about work, I'm thinking about Alex, or family, or work again, then family, then finances, then grad school, then traveling, then Alex, then I cry...see where I'm getting at I think this leads to my insomnia. Anyhow, the stories relate around the main character (Little Miss Scatterbrain, in this case) and tells a tale about her but is really supposed to be about the person you gave the book to. It's so cute and funny (wait til Jessica sees hers).

Besides those books, I actually enjoy reading and take the time to read because 1. Alex sees me read which then might make him think it's cool to read and 2. It gives me a mental time out. When I read I get into the book and I love that. Some of these writers are so detailed that it takes me into the book as if I were the character I know that's the point. I don't really have a type of book I like to read, but chic books are really entertaining. How I stole Her Husband by Liz Ireland was incredibly funny and I had a hard time putting the book down. Right now I'm reading an addition to He's Just Not That Into You.

Don't get it twisted people. I don't browse the Self-Help section of Barnes and Noble lonely with a Debbie Downer face. I am not dying to know what's wrong with me that makes me not date-able to men and I'm not crying myself to sleep because I am single waiting for Prince Charming to wife me up and support me financially, emotionally, and sexually(nothing wrong with that though). Those who know me KNOW I don't give a crap about finding the man of my dreams. The freakin book was 45 cents at the thrift store. Can't beat that!
I read autobiographies also. Hulk Hogan's first book was hilarious. This was of course before "Hogan Knows Best" and before they went to D-List status

SMH-Linda is engaged to her 21 year old golddigger, I mean boyfriend. Jenna Jameson wrote How To Make Love Like A Porn Star years ago and it was how she made it in the porn industry. Now she's stripped her implants, gets beat up by Tito Ortiz, and has twin boys. Oh, how times have changed.
I even read Diary of A Wimpy Kid about 3 years ago. I had to see what the fuss was about.That ish is hilarious! Greg is so cute, even though he is a stick figure, and his struggle in middle school is one that I see almost on a daily basis with these crazy kids I work with. Kudos to Jeff Kinney for making reading for young boys fun!
