Modern Society.

WE HAVE INTERNET.

YAYYYYY.



G'day mate. ;)

So What! Wednesday

This week, I'm saying so what! if...

• I loovee going to the gym now (mainly for eye candy)
• a prank went EXTREMELY awry last night [over a picture of me flippin' the bird] and I received a voicemail from the police department... then I made friends with the officer. :)
• my night class starts tonight (Intro. to Literature) and I completely forgot to buy ANY school supplies... I'm an adult now, sorry that I forgot to buy a hot pink floral notebook...
• I'm super excited about finally getting internet at home so that I can blog, not to accomplish work on my online classes.
• me and my roomie were going to try speed dating on Monday night, but no one showed up... so we went to the casino instead!  I didn't meet any fellas, but I won 30 bucks! ;)
• the only reason I'm starting classes again is to defer my student loans.  They seriously think that I can afford almost $500/mo to pay for those suckers?  I don't think so...
• we found out that lunges are a good workout to tone your buttocks [I prefer to say 'ass,' but buttocks sounds fun today].  Lunges are the devil.

Is it New Year's Yet!?

New Year's Eve is pretty much one of my favorite holidays.

It's the one holiday where I get to take off work since nobody else does!

Last year was spent in the gorgeous city of Chicago.

This year...

BOSTON!

My big brother moved to New Hampshire at the end of July, only 45 minutes from Boston.

I'll be there from December 29th - January 2nd.

I think I'm almost as anxious about the trip as I am about what to wear!

[my dress, terrible pic]

[shoes!]

What are your plans for New Year's Eve?

Have you been to Boston?  Any tips for me? ;)

So What! Wednesday

 

This week, I'm saying SO WHAT! if:

 

• I'm starting my Body by Vi 90 day challenge TODAY, the day before Thanksgiving.
• I was totally using the "I have a 4 year old roommate" as an excuse to buy junk food at the grocery store... hello chocolate milk!
• I decorated the bank for Christmas already.  Actually, almost 2 weeks ago... So what if I like to come to a pretty work environment?
• I bought those sweet knock-off Frye boots from Target & now I have no idea what to wear with them.
• We finally got a washer at the house but no dryer... so I improvised.  I set up the mobile hanging rack against a wall & directed fans at it.  Perfection, & probably saves electricity!
• We're having a pajama party on Friday, the first party in our new house!  It's so that we can wear comfy clothes after binge eating on Thursday, duhhh. ;)

Boot Fetish.

Boots are hot.

There are SO many styles to pick from.

I usually fill my shoe addiction with my JustFab purchases every month.

[Fifi was added to my collection this month.. for $39.99, you can't go wrong.]

Then, I stumbled upon these Frye look-a-likes on Target's website!

[Mossimo Genuine Leather Engineer Boot, $59.99]



With a price tag much, much lower than the Frye boots... should I?

Target does have Free Shipping over $50 & BOGO on boots!

...I'm in trouble.

Book Club Friday: The Pawn

Today, I will be reviewing Steven James' The Pawn.

[via]

Book Description, via Amazon:

Special Agent Patrick Bowers had only met one man who made him truly afraid. Until now. When he's called to North Carolina to consult on the case of an area serial killer, he finds himself in a deadly game. Cunning and lethal, the killer is always one step ahead of the law, and he's about to strike again. It will take all of Bowers's instincts and training to stop this man who calls himself the Illusionist. And just when the pieces start to come together, Bowers realizes they're not quite adding up. Can he unravel the pattern and save the next victim? Or will the Illusionist win the game by taking one of his opponent's pieces? Thrilling, chilling, and impossible to put down, The Pawn will hold suspense lovers in its iron grip until the very last page.



My Review:

Crime fiction is pretty much the only genre that I used to read.  I'm a sucker for shows like "Criminal Minds", "Dexter", and "NCIS".  With that, I'd like to say that I'm a pretty good judge for books like this, and Steven James is one of the best.  The Pawn is the first book in the "Patrick Bowers Files" and it will not disappoint.  The descriptive elements in the novel are phenomenal.  Upon researching to write my review, I learned that a fifth book was released in the series in September, and I cannot wait to download it!

Rating:

5 out of 5 stars!

Have a fabulous weekend =)

Changes.

Do we ever really know what's in store for us?

I've been thinking about my future a lot lately, and what I would like to accomplish.

Things have ended with the guy that I was seeing.

I can't help anyone that refuses to help themselves.

Not to mention the new "celebrity" status that he achieved...

((being on the Maury show does NOT make you a celebrity))

My roommate is going through a divorce right now.

They had a child together and are fighting over custody.

I testified in court today supporting my roomie.

I'm scared to get married.

Terrified of having a child/children.

What if someone tries to take my baby away someday?

Heather, you are superwoman to me.

I cannot believe how strong you are through all of this.

Let me ask you this...

Why do we date people if we know that we will never marry them?

Are we wasting time?

Should we still keep our options open if we're in an "exclusive" relationship?

Should we only date people that we can imagine marrying/having children with?
