Ahhhh Yea!

This is what I look like during the summer or at least I feel like I am like this because I am usually reading a book or magazine and ignoring everything around me.


This past weekend was absolutely FABULOUS!!! I was able to do what I love most: read and layout in the sun. Nothing  beats laying out in the HOT HOT HOT South Carolina Sun/Heat while nose diving into a great read. Who doesn't like to do that? Its so relaxing. With that said I finally purchased the book that follows Something Borrowed, Something Blue. It is novel on Darcy's point of view and how things played out. I cuddled up last night in the pappazon to finish the book and cried like a baby. Even if you strongly dislike Darcy in Something Borrowed, I would recommend reading this book. If you have read it or plan on reading it let me know what you think about it?!?!!?

Anywho, I was able to layout Friday, Saturday and Sunday :) How often does this happen??? My answer is ........... NOT ENOUGH! I wish I would make money and layout all the time. Who doesnt want to be a lazy bum, read good books, get a tan, AND still make money. On Saturday, my dad even grilled steaks for the family....YUMMMMMMMY!!! What makes the weekend even better is that Im going to Charleston on Thursday. I love love love Charleston. I am trying to convince Dusty in letting us move down there. :) But yall know how guys are, so I guess I will have to keep trying. :)
This week try to enjoy the Sun and find a good book to read. Have a wonderful Monday and try to stay warm, especially if you are in South Carolina. :)


              SIDE NOTE:(My sister tells me I am a nerd because I like to tan and read. Just because she is in High School she   thinks she is "too cool" to read especially while laying out in the sun. So what I dont care.....It's just nice to get lost in a good book. Have a wonderful Monday and try to stay warm, especially if you are in South Carolina. :)

It's Summa Time :)

Go read it if you havent already, Great Read!

So now that I am officially on summer break, I decided to start back reading. I have heard so many ranting and raving about the New York Times Bestseller- Something Borrowed by Emily Griffin. I had seen commercials on TV and people facebooking how wonderful this book is so I called Mandy, well went to her apt, and asked to borrow the book. She was more than happy to let me borrow the book, knowing that I would absolutely LOVE it. I started reading Wednesday night as soon as I finished dinner, the fabulous meal I blogged about. I read til 2 am that morning and had the hardest time putting the book down. Now when I read, I get really into a book. Sometimes it is hard to talk to me, I cry with a book, I laugh with a book, I am just that into what I am reading. What can I say, I am a natural born reader :). Back to the reading, well I finally put it down so I could sleep. Thursday morning I woke up and immediately began reading. I took the dogs out to potty and then grabbed a blanket and went and sat on the balcony to read until it was time to go to the pool with my friend at 2. I got so into the book that I lost track of time and was late going to the pool. While reading, I looked up and noticed this.....I could not do anything but smile because it truly shows me how much my four-legged children love each other. Boy was I a proud mama :)

to be two totally different breeds of dogs, they really do love each other  :)

Any who back  to the story, I took a break for a quick shower before I went to the pool. I finally got the pool an again immediately I pulled out the book and began reading. I had gotten so far into the book that there was no stopping me now. I could visualize everything that was happening in the book in my head, don't you love this. This is when you really know you are into a book, guess that's how I relate to it. I had to be at EXPO training by 4:15 so I texted Mandy and told that I didn't feel like coming to Expo because I couldn't make myself put the but down well Mandy said I had to. Ha but I did bring the book to expo with me, I snuck in some reading during 'my' down time. I finally convinced myself to put the book down long enough to grab drinks with a friend at La Ha for Happy Hour. Ahh, the refreshing taste of a Strawberry Margarita :) and then we hit up Old Navy for the BOGO 50%. I def bought 2 pair of shorts for $30. Finally got back home around 9:30, fixed dusty supper and started back to reading. That night I finished the book and my roommate thought it was funny that I was crying by the time I finished it. Im not going to tell you why I cried because I want you to go out and read it, it's totally worth it. Something Borrowed is a great read and def worth your time. I was very impressed with the book and now I know why people were raping my Newsfeed about their excitement for the movie coming on on May 6th, I believe. Why don't you check out the trailer......Something Borrowed Trailer 



Have a fabulous Friday and a wonderful weekend!! XOXO
