Compulsion...

So here's a funny quirk about my wife...when she starts reading a book, she cannot put it down until its finished. She would tell you that generally, she doesn't like to read. But when she starts a book, there's no stopping her. You will find her all over in random places reading.


On Friday, I swung by the library on my way home from work and picked us up a couple books. For me...Monday Night Jihad by Jason Elam (former Broncos kicker). For Tanya...A Thousand Tomorrows by Karen Kingsbury.


Tanya didn't want me to get her a book, but I did anyway. True to form, she grabbed it and started right in. She was finished by Sunday evening...and that's with a full weekend of activities mixed in. In the same time period, I only made it to page 52 in my book.


Here she is "watching" the girls as they played in the backyard. Yes, she was reading in the standing position for quite some time.
