oh my

this book



is sooooo dang good.
i just started it tonight... in a good old coffee shop...
and i can't put it down.
OH MY GOSH.
im glad it was on the top of my list because its going to get marked off quite quickly!

in honor of the road...
here is my favorite road picture

saturday night...

this was my saturday night...
captured by my awful cell phone camera.
despite that...
i got off work FOUR HOURS EARLY!
so i came home... did some laundry.
did a little hw (like 2 hours worth)
and then finished this book while eating a bowl of ice cream
in my super awesome lion bowl from katie b!

so the book.
it was good. very quick read. and although it won't be a favorite of mine, it was still very enjoyable. its the story of a 12year old. she gets wrapped up in this fantasy about her brother's wedding. she has decided she is moving away from her small town- and with her brother after his wedding. of course his brother knows none of this. this book is a fun little adventure... with a lot more depth than i am letting on.

------

today ... im doing more homework. taking a quiz. and then starting the road.
probably throw in some laundry and a trip to starbucks.
sounds like a good rainy/stormy sunday to me.

love & peace

a real post....

::lake j last weekend::
all the pics are from our mini mountain vacay

well i have finally come up with an extensive book list.
its long.
quite long.
but im going to push through and just start reading as much of it as i can before school!
4months... should be able to knock lots out.
hopefully by having a list i can stay on top of my reading- AND book buying.
i tend to buy lots and lots of books.
i am planning on not buying any more books
unless its on my list.
and after i have read it.
yes. after i have read it.
i plan on checking out the books from the local library...
or pulling them off the shelf in our family library...
and only buying if i love it.
we shall see how that goes!


the current read is "the member of the wedding" a classic by carson mccullers.
so far its good. not really going to be a favorite- but its def a good (and quick) read.
next up is The Road by mcarthy. ill keep you posted on my reading progress as i go through.
then perhaps do a lil mini book review afterwards.


today i accomplished lots of school work-
(all my classes for the week- now just need to do the hw & quiz)
ran some errands-
and had a fun lil date with my hubs-
local brick oven pizza place
(broad street cafe)
followed by a lil ben & jerry's!
mmmmmm. so good!
