New Girl Crush

Lately I've been having a slight girl crush on Karen Gillan, mostly known from Doctor Who.  She seems like such a fun girl.  But I think that it's mostly cause I'm a little jealous of her red hair.  I've always wanted to try out having a reddish hair color, but so far have not been brave enough.

A Little Announcement

A brief explanation about my absence the last few months... I'm pregnant!  I had a pretty rough first trimester, and so blogging was pretty near the bottom of my list of things to do at the end of the day.  But, I'm feeling a little better (finally!), so hopefully I'll be able to post more often.

Dreaming of Fall

The weather here has been WAY too hot for my liking.  Near 100 degrees most of the week.  Seeing other people complain on twitter about the rain and cooler weather in their area doesn't help.  I'm so jealous.  So, since I can't dress for the cool weather yet, I've just been browsing Fall styles, ect.  I found this coat that someone put on Pinetrest today, so I don't know who makes it or where to get it (does anyone know?).

Happy 4th of July to those of you in the US!

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.

"He had the attitude woman's magazines try to sell to their audience: that significant others are only the frosting on the cake of life. But everybody knows that cake without frosting is just a muffin."

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.
