If You Need Me, I'll Be In Rehab.......

..............reading and listening to my ipod. Or at least trying to recover from using them. Apparently, according to this article, reading and listening to music are true addictions. Who knew?!?! I figure since the "in" crowd is all going to rehab to recover from everything from drug and alcohol addiction to an addiction to racial/homophobic slurs, then I should be able to go into rehab for music and reading addictions. Right? Who's with me? But, I don't want to go into regular rehab where they make you clean the toilets and stuff. I want to go to one out in California where you get massages, yoga classes and gourmet meals. Wonder if I could talk my HMO into paying for that?

I don't have the inner ear issue associated with a reading addiction, but I do spend an awful lot of money on books (and music!), so maybe I should check in for a shopping addiction too?! Hey, do they let you stay longer in the rehab/resort if you have several addictions?!

I'm so confused! I think I need some chocolate. OMG, could I be addicted to that too?!? For the love of Pete! No wonder I'm still single. With all of my issues, I'm surprised I make it out of my lounge chair, put my book and my Hershey bar down , and take off my ipod to go into work. Hmmm, maybe if I didn't make it to work I could get sent to one of those rehab/resort places..........

Coffee Fairy--Maybe we could share a room! You think Dr. Drew would be willing to take us on?

Funny stuff Diva. Justifying people's inability to cope has become such an enormous industry within itself. Perhaps for every hour we write a blog post that offers advice to society (like yours!) we could deduct an hourly rate off on our taxes...kind of like a charitable donation? :)

I want to go to the rehab place where Lindsay and Mary-Kate went...someplace in Utah. They had hiking, and river rafting and healthy meals prepared. Can I go, please, please please? :)
