Sick Obsession

I have a sick obsession that I have to confess about. I'm almost embarassed to share it but here I go... I'm obsessed with famous people. I can't explain it, but I'm the freak that reads the tabloids in the grocery store. You know the ones you usually have to cough at, because they have no idea that it's their turn. And yes, I read People magazine more than I do the newspaper. It really started to soar this summer when we were coming home from San Diego. I ran into a MTV star, no names mentioned, but he's big and of ethnicity;) I sat and texted my sister for a while, in shock that a celebrity was sitting right across the way from David and I in the airport. David was so embarassed! Tonight I was on my game again. We went to La Hacienda Ranch, allowing David to fill up on his favorite foods before he leaves for Honduras, and I began to question the guys that were sitting next to us. One of them turned his head and instantly I knew I had seen this guy before. No, not on a date, but from one of our well spent People's magazines. It later came to me who that person was, as he was getting ready to leave. I'm so sick, that after the person was gone, and David was getting tired of my questions about him, I asked our waitor who was sitting there. He brought the guy's receipt out and sure enough I was right. I later had to call my mom and let her know that I sat next to a country singer that has inspired many with his 'American Soldier' and brought laughter with 'I Wanna Talk About Me'. I can't explain why I'm like a giddy school girl when I see celebrities. I mean they really are no different than any of us. Yes, they probably don't have to save up for a Coach purse, but somehow it's rewarding to know that they eat at places we do, and fly coach with the rest of us.
