I have a friend (who will remain nameless KT!!!!!) who is a very bad influence on me. Because of her, I watched nothing but Scrubs for a week (and I'm still not through, merely stuck without season 4).
This friend suggested that I read Twilight - and even loaned her copy to me. This week, I had to make an emergency trip to Arkansas, so I took the book with me on the long drive. I also took my current bible study, a parenting book, and a book about being a godly wife.
I decided to just peek at the preface of Twilight - because I had no idea what it was about. At page 48, I decided to write this blog. That was Tuesday. The next three days were a blur. How could I let a book come between me and my life so much? It became a fixture to my hand. I almost tried to figure out a way to shower with it. I feigned having to use the restroom (not number one, if you know what I mean) to sneak away with it. I felt irritation at having to stop reading for meals. I was baby free for two nights and woke up at 4:30 AM to READ instead of enjoying another uninterrupted 3 hours of sleep.
Thursday, I was happy that the book was over - happy to get my life back. Happy to give the cursed book back to KT - oops - I said no names, right?
There are three more books in this series - I might not be out here in the blog site for awhile. If I don't show up at church on Sunday, please come rescue my family from my showerless, starved, sleepless state. My children will need feeding. My plants watering...

HA!!!!! I've done all of those things - including contemplating trying to read in the shower. John was like, "When will I get my wife back?" I'm glad I could corrupt you so easily. BTW, we just got season 4 of SCRUBS back, so I'll send it your way. Of course, I doubt you'll need it until you finish book 4 (which should oly take you a few days).
How did you manage to read Twilight and sing at the funeral at the same time? You didn't mention that.
And as for the last 3 sentences, would that not be your "twilitless" plea?
