Chatterbox!
let’s talk Crazytalk.
Do you ever reschedule your plans so you can read more?
For instance, today I found myself at work with no lunch. No lunch!
Which was surprising on many levels because
1. I usually do not bring a lunch but today I made my lunch and
2. Left it in my fridge at home because I was running late. Boo!
(I should note that no matter how many times I forget my lunch at home, I never leave home without a book or my kindle. Priorities.)
I tried to schedule lunches with friends and though we couldn’t get together today, we did figure out lunch plans over the next couple of weeks.
Now here’s the Crazy part:
I actually schedule lunches so that they fall on specific days so I can read the rest of the week during lunch. Usually, I try not to go to lunch with people more than twice a week because I like having my lunch time to myself where I can read or run errands. (mostly read)
Sorry but I “have plans” that day (with myself and a book!) but I “can do next Monday.”
I have also not committed to a full day of plans on the weekend because I know that I am going to start reading a long anticipated book (Ruin & Rising, cough cough) and want to have a huge amount of hours to binge read. I love my friends and being book people themselves and very very patient people, they understand my craziness.
Does this happen to anyone else? Or am I scheduling freak?? And it’s okay if I am. I think I am. I kinda am.

I do the same thing on the weekend. Sometimes I tell my husband, hey I don’t want to spend the whole day doing such and such because I want to finish this book.
Jen, I’m so glad I’m not alone! I have been known to say that to my husband as well! 🙂
Sad lunch. 🙁 I usually don’t schedule my week that closely since I don’t make a lot of lunch plans but I do like to keep weekday evenings free if possible so I can read and knit. I have so little time at night to do what I want that having plans during the week, while fun, really cuts into my knitting and crafting time.
Agreed. I love my friends but I also love books! If only we had an extra couple of hours a day to only read!
