7 Quick Takes

1. I am in a word, EXHAUSTED. I got a taste of what the faculty go through last night as I was at work until 9:45 pm and then back here at 7:50 am. Needless to say the weekend is going to be like the Bruno Mars Lazy Song.

2. I stepped out of my box and tried the chicken club tacos at Chili's today when I met Emboz for our monthly lunch. They were really really good!! and cheap!!

3. I really get the weirdest twitter followers. Does anyone else have this issue? I wonder where these people find me? and yet they don't tweet me? odd.

4. We made it through non instructional week without ANYONE crying!!! This is HUGE!! Nor did I eat ANY ice cream! That is WAY HUGE!!!!!!!!!!! However Payless had Edy's on sale tonight so I may or may not have bought some to stock up for the first week of classes :)

5. It made my day to have Holly visit me this afternoon!!! She was at the bookstore and stopped by to see me. I am recycling my magazines and giving them to her every week. yay!

6. I got to talk to Apes this week when I couldn't find something in her old desk I was texting her trying to find out where it was so she called the office and told me. it was soooo good to hear her voice and especially her laugh! I think I have been trying to not think about how much I miss her.

7. I really can't believe I made it through this week. It's all by the grace of God and God alone. It was hectic and chaotic and crazy busy and exhausting but it's over. And I don't have to think about Non Instructional week untill Spring. Hallelujah.

(8) If I never blog again it's because the first week of classes killed me :)

This week was rather lackluster, because I came down with a sickness on Monday and was down for the count Monday and Tuesday. I was super annoyed, because I had not taken a sick day since May and I was really trying to make it to 2019 without that happening! Boo!  My new coffee maker came in the mail, and it is so cute! It's like a miniature coffee maker, only makes 4 cups. It's adorable.  My nephew's 4'th Birthday present came as well. And I was a little concerned at the size of the box. Thankfully it wasn't as large as it appeared, but still a decent size!  Wednesday I rejoined life after being sick and ran out to get some free stix from Hotbox pizza and look what I saw!!!! A New DD is coming much closer to my house!! OH I was SO EXCITED!!!!!!  That afternoon I was working on getting all of my Christmas tubs brought inside from the shed, so I could decorate on the weekend. Then I had some cancellations and decided to start. I got the Piano room ...

Blue Monday!

Today's Festive Blue Monday outfit! I wore my tried and true trouser jeans, a short sleeved beaded top I got on clearance at Macy's of all places for 6 bucks!! And my awesome new jeweled flats! Sooo comfy and cute! Since it was in the 60's today I was able to get away with this warmer weather outfit! Beading on the top, I love it! Shoes, so ugly they are cute!!

Book Review: The Last Dance you Saved by LJ Evans

  Buckle Up Buttercup, because Sadie Hatley is finally getting her story!!!! And it did not disappoint at all! The only thing I didn't like about this book is that it ended. I could have kept reading for 1000 more pages.  L.J. Evans is a Masterclass in how to write Romantic Suspense (that's not so scary you can't sleep at night) with witty banter, heroines who kick butt (figuratively and literally). Her books are full of real people with real problems. And I think that's one of the things I appreciate the most about her writing. Yes, her books are an escape for me, but they also show that whatever you're going through in life, everyone else is also going through something.  In the case of Sadie and Rafe alot of those issues they contained to themselves and kept the hurt and pain inside of them, in order to be strong for others and what they thought they needed to be. But L.J. shows us that not only is it okay to let people in, but the beauty and redemption that come...
