BEGIN CONFESSION

I am a huge packrat. I wear clothes I got in high school (10 years ago).

I have a hotmail e-mail account and it is constantly at 75% capacity because I refuse even to part with old useless e-mails. When the little red warning comes up, I comb through month-old e-mails to erase just enough to switch it back to the "safe" zone.

I am also addicted to books. I'm in the process of moving and estimate that I will fill seven large boxes with my books. I learned to make my own bookshelves because I like books that much. Plus, I haven't even read most of these books, but I go to the library for new ones on a regular basis.

Thank you for hearing my confessions. It may be, though, that to be forgiven I'll need to change my ways.

We'll see how that goes.
