Meh

I'm getting bad about updating again! I think it's because I've been feeling so worn out lately, and after I put Little L to bed, I usually just want to lay in bed and watch tv, not blog.

Anyway... I finished "I don't care about your band", and it was just ok. Definitely not one that I would recommend you rush out and buy. And I'm definitely glad I got it at a clearance price at the bookstore. It was funny, and had some good stories, but got a little repetitive after a while. I started wondering just why this girl kept sleeping with all these guys (which she would give some pretty intimate details about) that seemed like such losers. She even thought they were losers at times, and would still continue to see/sleep with them. It's definitely not as good as Bossypants.

What's On Your Bookshelf?

I've recently started using Goodreads (you can find me here) in an attempt to help myself read more.  I finished the Hunger Games in a day, though I stayed up WAY too late reading.  I enjoyed it.  It was definitely a little darker than I thought it was going to be.  I'm not sure my 10 year old self would be that into it.  Maybe when I was in my early teens.  I did really enjoy Lord of the Flies around that age.  And there are some similarities (not overall, but...I guess in the level of how dark parts were).  Anyway, I would definitely recommend this book.  It was an easy read (YA after all).

My next read is...

I'm not that far into this book, but I can tell that as someone who is married, I am not the target audience of this book.  But, it is still a humorous book, that I am enjoying reading.  Another very light read, sort of like Bossypants was.

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there!

Currently Reading: The Hunger Games

Little L and I are sitting outside, listening to some Michael Jackson. I decided it's time for me to read this book. And I want to read it before I'm completely spoiled by all the talks of the movies.

Happy Birthday, Audrey

I love her movies, and I love her style.  

Tense

Looks like our favorite little flower girl (bridesmaid?) is making the meme rounds.

Keeping it Kosher

We aren't Jewish, but I did find this label on the orange juice nice.

Flower Power

Last week I went to a flower wholesaler with my mother to look at some flowers for my brother's upcoming wedding.  While my mother looked for flowers for centerpieces, I wandered around looking at all the different flowers they had.

I had never seen roses quite this dark before.  They might be my new favorite kind of rose.  The picture (taken with my phone) doesn't nearly do them justice.  They were much darker, and prettier in person.

They had a ton of hydrangeas (more than is pictured), which is one of my favorite flowers ever.  It's what I used for my wedding bouquet, so I have a special place for them in my heart.

Visiting this place made me realize that I want to incorporate more fresh flowers into the house.  They are just so cheery.
