Look at me go!

The worst part of going on vacation, for me, is coming home and unpacking, doing laundry, and cleaning the house. Welcome home, right? Bleh! Well, yesterday, I decided that before I was going to stuff any clothes back into my overflowing drawers and closet, I needed to do some purging (of clothes of course!) So, I went to work taking clothes that I haven't worn in forever, and pretty much forgot that I had, and putting them all in a nice, big pile on my bed. I have been trying to persuade my husband that I need some new clothes, but he refuses to let my buy any because he thinks I have too many already. Well, he can't say that now! This is my "give-away pile":

I think that I can afford to get a few new things to replace all of this, right? Feel free to tell my husband if you agree ;o)

Anyway, I feel like I was pretty productive yesterday! I even folded some laundry last night (while watching The Bachelor). Oh, and I went to the library and checked out Les Miserables....watch out! I'm going to try to tackle this 1,463 tiny-printed-page book in the 6 weeks that they let me check it out for.

I feel like I will officially be able to call myself "well read" once I finish this mammoth of a novel. We'll see if I can stick with it. Maybe some of you should check in with my progress to make sure I don't give up. I tend to do that with long (sometimes boring?) books. Does anyone else have this problem? Don't get me wrong, I LOVE reading, but the book has to really catch my attention from page 1 for me to really be interested. Anyway, I'd like to thank my friend Erin for inspiring me to read Les Miserables. So, Erin, if you're reading this....thanks! I hope I can get through it!
