hi Dev :D what book were you reading?

You're a stronger woman that I...every day this week I was at least 15 minutes (up to an hour) late for work because I was reading and couldn't be arsed to put down my book.

Hope you get back to it soon!

Hugs!

Nath ~ The Kiss by Sophia Nash. If I remember right, I don't think you liked it.

Holly ~ It's my downfall. I read every morning. I'm usually at work between 7:15 and 7:30. Everyday this week I haven't left my house until at least 7:30-7:45.

I have a 40 minute commute (if I drive WAY over the speed limit) and I'm supposed to be to work at nine. This morning, I left my house at 8:45 and still had to drop the kids off.

*sigh*

I remember the CA traffic not-so-fondly. I remember having to leave way early just to plan on the commute time. More often than not, there was always gridlock.

Well, in that respect I don't really have a problem, because the area I live in isn't that over crowded (yet). I just live quite a ways from work (I think 55 miles).

Holly ~ I nannied so I didn't really have a commute. The only time I ever had to go out there was when I was going to class, or if I ventured over the hill (I lived in Sylmar).

Oh, you nannied? How was that? I've always hated OPK's, so I don't think I could do that. :P

I hate trying to travel anywhere outside of my "area" because of the traffic. Last time I went to San Diego it took me almost 5 hours to drive down, when it's supposed to take me just under 2.

That's my biggest gripe with CA, how overpopulated it is. Blech.

But I don't hate it enough to move to Montana. :P

Holly ~ Don't your in-laws live here? I happen to know you've got a pretty fabulous pal up here, too.

Yes, my father-in-law and his wife.

Much as I lub you..it's not enough to move to Montana. :P

Holly ~ That's fine. I'm not offended. :-) Who knows, you may come for a visit and fall in love with the place.

Oh, I've visited babe. I grew up in South Dakota and had several friends from Montana I used to visit. It's one of the most gorgeous places I've ever visited. But then, South Dakota is probably the most beautiful place I've ever lived.

The problem w/ both is the weather. I will never again live in an area where it's that cold. Ever.

But I would love to come visit. In the summer. :P

Holly ~ Maybe you and Rosie should plan on visiting at the same time. We could have a good ole' time.

Wouldn't that be a ripper? Us all sipping margaritas in a bar in MT? I'm in! Uh, not this summer though. Got my va-cay time tied up in RWA.

Rosie ~ Can you imagine it? It'd be a blast.

Oh, don't you hate that?! Stupid work, getting in the way of reading :P

Chantal ~ Always. Almost makes me wish I was independently wealthy so I could just read all the time.

LOL, so that's why the names sounded familiar! :D I'd like to see Montana one day...

I would love to visit Montana one day. Sounds gorgeous.

55 miles Holly??? OMG, road rage would set in around mile #5. I live only about 2 miles from work, and I love it.

I read the one before "The Kiss", but never got this one. Too many books I need to read...

Nath ~ That would be why :-)

Stacy ~ I so understand about the books. I should take pictures. It's gotten to the point of ridiculous ~ and this is me, the book lover, saying that. Suppose there's worse addictions out there.........
