Hungover

October 18th, 2006 at 09:10 pm

I am hungover....and your tax dollars paid for me to get this way!

Think of it, for free they hand over this drug to anyone who signs their name! And you can do it over and over again!

Rediculous!

I had been doing so good, been dry for almost 3 weeks, then this hits.

It started as a perfectly normal day, but after dinner we headed out together as a family. GMC found a dozen he wanted, JC found another half dozen, I grabbed a couple 'for the kids' and UE got a couple So far so good, none for me.

Then it happened..I peeked over the nearest shelf... the other side was Sci-fi, so close......right there, only one small shelf of scifi, but oh what a shelf!

Of course you know I succombed and grabbed a book. And of course you know I gave in and read the book all night.....and of course I am paying for it today.....

I try so hard to be good and stay on the wagon, but oh what a pleasure to sink into the world of elves, and faries, and mystery, and adventure!

The worst part is this particualar book uses hystory! now I HAVE to go find out if Henry the VIII had a son Harry, and just how he died....Sadly my memory of history is failing, I do know Anne Bolyn was beheaded..I think for adultry, but Cathrines ties to Rome are iffy, plus the Spanish threat..wonder if he had a son and if said son had a couple threats on his life recorded......

Honestly I know more of history from fiction than from the history I was supposed to memorize!

GRR! I have to go do something useful..not search out English history!

    Nothing better than a day or night spent in another world.....we love it much more than tv. What a good example for you to set with your kids. Also, I'd like to think it will help my brain continue to function well in the coming years.....in my case, every little bit is going to help. That's my story and I'm sticking to it...lol

    LOL!...book-junkie here, too!...I swear I get withdrawal pains when I don't have anything new to read! ...so...what book was that? ....see? now you've done it! I have been trying soooo hard not to get any new books (library here is open from 9 to 4pm, Mon-Fri....and it's all the way downtown, AND they don't let you get the books out of the building!)

    As I recall, Henry VIII had a son, but I can't remember his name. He died quite young, of an illness. Catherine, Henry's first wife, was a devout Catholic, and she was Spanish. And yes, Anne Boleyn was definitely beheaded! I love history, especially English history, and I've learned most of it in books and movies!

    Sounds like a good book, mixing fantasy and history!

    The son and heir of Henry VIII was Edward VI. He did have an illegitimate son, Henry FitzRoy, Duke of Richmond, who died at age 18.

    So what was the name of your book?

    Smile
