On Strike

In case you aren't my biggest fan on Facebook and don't stalk me like crazy...

I started the Hunger Games series this past weekend.

And life as I know it is drastically changed.

I am too busy worrying about Katniss and Peeta and Haymitch and Gale to be able to see straight. 

Yesterday, my sister texted me to ask me why in the world I had stopped playing Words with Friends with her.

And why I wasn't answering my emails.

Um, yeah. 

A little absorbed.

Shocking, right?

Me getting sucked into a book?

Never.

Not the girl who wrote this in protest to Stephanie Meyers having not yet completed Midnight Sun.

Yeah.

Oops!

Wanna know how bad it is?

So bad that I totally skipped the season kick-off of Housewives of New Jersey...pretty much my entertainment lifeline of the summer.

And I skipped it without even a twinge of regret.

Of course, I had to get up early this morning and watch it while I was getting ready.

Just so I can be prepared for all the water cooler conversations that are sure to ensue.

And for the record, a little torn on the new girls.

Not sure if I love them or hate them.

But one thing will always be sure.

Albie...makes a girl smile.

And the Hunger Games? 

Pretty much worth your time.

Just beware of the black hole that you will most definitely be sucked into once you start.

Don't say I didn't warn you!
