Day 7: I <3 Heels

The heels that I ordered came yesterday and I luuuve them! They fit perfectly and feel like I have been wearing them forever. There is something about how the way a pair of heels can make your entire day!

I can't wait to wear them next week!

Day 6: Random Friday Musings

I am so very happy it is Friday!

 

::does happy dance in chair::

 

 It has not been a good week. I will be extremely glad when work is over this afternoon! Since it's Friday here are some random musings.

 

 

~ I don't think I will ever get sick of Starbucks, Pumpkin Spice Lattes!

 

~ While driving to work the other day, a man in the car next to me was using his electric shaver. Never seen that before.

 

~ Really wish I owned a Kindle. Why do they have to be so darn expensive?!

 

~ I hope David feels better so we can go to Oak Glen tomorrow, for my nephews birthday. Don't want to get him or my baby niece sick. I don't think Troy or Melissa would appreciate that if they did.

 

~ Anyone want to come over and do my laundry for me?

 

~ Yay, for the cooler weather again. ::knocking on wood:: We don't want to be in the 90's again anytime soon!

 

~ Wuthering Heights on audio is ummmm.... interesting. Not a big fan of the male narrators voice but, oh well. I am sure as I progress further into the story I won't notice it anymore. Still too early into the story to decide to if I don't like it.

 

~ I ordered shoes "online" for the first time last week. They are Nine West heels and I really hope they fit. They were such a good deal that I couldn't pass it up. Per UPS they are supposed to arrive today, so I am excited!

 

Well that's enough for today! I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

 

Day 5: I Hear Sleigh Bells

I still can't get over that it is November. I think I am in denial, haha. Since, Halloween is over everyone decided it's now okay to start celebrating Christmas. What about Thanksgiving?

Target had Christmas stuff out on Saturday when I was there. I picked up a pumpkin spiced latte on my way to work on Monday and they are using their Christmas cups. I was asked if I wanted to try something with Eggnog. No way, I'm still in fall mode! David is sitting here right now watching Myth Busters and it's an episode about whether or not a frozen Christmas tree can explode. If anyone cares, the myth was busted. :P

Anyways, once Thanksgiving is over then I will be all about Christmas! But until then we need to focus on Thanksgiving! So my question for you all is what's you favorite dish, desert or food item that you eat on Thanksgiving?

My favorite would probably be Stove Top stuffing!

Day 4: Headaches, Boredom and Sickness

I have had a headache for the last three days. It is starting to drive me crazy, as it won't be away. It's not a normal headache either. It's like a, "I think I might be getting sick kind of dizzy headache", but when it comes down to it I haven't gotten "sick". David on the hand, has come down with the flu. Poor guy! I came home from work today and made him tomato soup and grilled cheese.

Hopefully, he feels better soon and that also my headache goes away. I really hope I don't get sick. I have too much to do at work!

Sorry for such a lame post tonight. I really haven't felt like doing much this week since my headache won't go away. Hopefully, tomorrow nights post will be more interesting.

P.S. One good thing, we are half way through the work week! Only two more days of work! :D

Day 3: Audio Books

Most days driving home from work it will take me about 40-45 min to get home. Today it took me almost an hour. :( I normally listen to the radio, but it seems like I will go through about 6 or 7 stations and none of them will be playing anything that I want to listen too. Someone recently mentioned listening to audio books, since I drive so far and I realized that the concept had never even crossed my mind.

When I opened my library card, I figured I would give the audio books a try. The Nest's book club had The Outsiders, listed as the book for November and the library had it on audio, so I checked it out. The Outsiders is a shorter book since it is Young Adult fiction, but with the amount of time I sit in the car, I flew through it.

It was great! After finishing the Outsiders, I started looking into other audio books the library had. It's been tough finding them through the library's search function online as you need a title, but I have been able to find a couple. I received my email notification from the library today, stating that Wuthering Heights was ready for me to pick up! I have been oh so patient while waiting for it to be turned in. Hopefully, tomorrow I will have time to go pick it up!

So, if you spend lots of time in the car, I definitely recommend looking into listening to books on audio!

Day 2: A Great and Terrible Beauty

I almost went to bed tonight without blogging. It's only the second day of NaBloPoMo and I almost failed. How sad! Thankfully, I did remember!

So, the other day I finished the book, "A Great and Terrible Beauty" by Libba Bray and for once I really, really didn't know how I felt about a book upon finishing it. I liked the characters, especially reading Gemma’s quirky inner thoughts. As well as the setting, girl's boarding school in London in the later 1890's. But, I feel like the book just ended suddenly, when we were just finally starting to get some answers. I am also very confused as to what even happened at the end and I was left with lot's of questions.

That being said, I did go and read some other people's reviews and it sounds like I wasn't the only that was very confused at the end. It appears there is more of an explanation in the following two books. I am probably going to finish the series, as I did like the characters and setting, but I won’t be rushing off to the library right away to get them.

Up next is: "The Story of Lucy Gault" by William Trevor.

NaBloPoMo 09

I can't believe that is really November! Holy Cow.. time flies nowadays.

This means one thing in the blog world: NaBloPoMo! I am sure some of you thought, "What the heck is NaBloPoMo?" Well NaBloPoMo stands for National Blog Posting Month. One post for every day of the month. This will be my second year doing NaBloPoMo. Last year, I was quite proud of myself for completing it and made it a goal to do it again this year. Hopefully, you will be reading a lot more about what's going on with us this month!

I don't want to my first post of the month to be only about NaBloPoMo. So, other than NaBloPoMo starting, today was also the time change. Now, I know a lot of people were not looking forward to it. In the past, I never did. But, in the last couple of years I have changed my mind.

Here is my reasoning. I am not a morning person at all. Never will be. Most people know this and are always surprised to find out that I chose to start work at the butt crack of dawn. Well, there are many benefits to starting at 7:00 am. I hit less traffic in the mornings, which when you already drive 40 min to work, it would seriously suck if it was even longer! Also, after work I feel like I actually have time left in the day to do things, like go grocery shopping and cook dinner.

Disadvantages include waking up at 5:00 am. Ugh! This should be outlawed! Another disadvantage is that in the fall and early spring it means leaving for work when it is still completely dark out. This is the reason why I am excited about the time change. Tomorrow morning when I walk out my front door and it will be semi light out. I am very excited about this and this is why I love the time change!

There is one thing I admit that I will miss and that is: pulling into work and seeing this sunrise:

So one post down, only 29 more! I would love to know if any of you are doing NaBloPoMo. Let me know and we can keep each other motivated!
