I know I’m not supposed to look at tabloids anymore, but today I gave into the impulse. I went to the Y to work out and realized I forgot my book to read during the treadmill and the exercise bike. Doing those things without reading is extremely boring to me. Well, the magazines at the Y suck. They have Time, Sports Illustrated, car magazines, and Ladies Home Journal. I can stand a little bit of LHJ but I wasn’t in the mood for it today. I wanted some good reading material. So I went to Food Lion next door and bought an issue of OK! magazine.

I savored every minute of it. It made my workout so fun! There is something about reading tabloids that actually makes me feel happy. But, it is an expensive habit. The magazine was $3.99 without tax. That’s $4.00 and it only takes me about an hour to read the whole thing. Four dollars for an hour of pleasure. Pretty expensive. I understand why God does not want me to read these rags.

Anyway, I really enjoyed the juicy article about the whole Gosselin drama, and I got a good chuckle at Kate’s dorky high school photo. Goodness gracious, what a geek! We are about the same age so it is not about being dated. My high school pictures look good! In fact, I looked better then than I do now! I can’t say the same about Kate. The funniest part is that she had a bad haircut back then too. The poor girl has no fashion sense whatsoever. But I guess that’s the least of her problems right now. It would suck to be her – 8 kids, a cheating husband. No thank you.
