What has my life come to?!

So, sitting at my desk, trying to figure things out (because naturally something is broken) and everything is quiet.

Then, out of the corner of my eye, I see someone walk behind me. At the same moment I see the person, what should I hear?

A fart.

I just got had a walk-by farting.

No need to worry, I immediately got my Febreeze, and sprayed the crap out of my cubicle.


SIGH.

Month 1

So we've been in our new apartment for a whole month now! (Plus some, if you want to get technical) So far, it's been a really fun experience for us. We've got super awesome neighbors downstairs that LOVE to bump their music.

There was one occasion that they decided to bump their music during general conference (and yes, they go to church, we've seen them there) but apparently they weren't watching it, because they were blaring music like "Baby It's Cold Outside" by She and Him. WTF, it's March! Justin wasn't there, but I kept texting him saying how angry I was, how I was going to lose my dang mind and all that... Well I finally stomped around a few times, to no avail. Big surprise, they couldn't hear me. Well, conference started, and I couldn't focus on the speaker! It's a little hard to feel the spirit when you're filled with hate, in case you were wondering. So I finally stood up and stomped as hard as I could, and the music was turned down instantly. I like to think they got the message.

We're up on the third floor, so we go up and down the stairs a few times a day, which is definitely good for us. Haha! One time as we were headed up the stairs, a stray cat took off running, and as we turned to go up the next flight, another cat flies off the stairs at us, and takes off. Obviously there's a bit of a cat infestation there.

We've come to realize that it's too hard to not go shopping every week. If we wait too long, we have too many groceries to take upstairs, but since there's no way we're going to make two trips, we overload ourselves with bags, and struggle up the stairs. Dang laziness.

We've had a few nights where we're freezing, and a few nights we sweat our faces off. It's really hard to keep it a nice temperature with heat from the people below us rising.

We've started watching How I Met Your Mother... and man alive, they're funny. I never was interested in the show, but now that we've actually gotten to know the characters, and understand the story, it's quite hilarious

Now we're headed into Month 2 of Legacy Springs Apartments. I'll let you know how it goes!

--I will be posting pictures of our place later, and also will post about my husband and his romanticness as soon as possible!--

Review: Unearthly

Unearthly by Cynthia Hand

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



I REALLY enjoyed this book. I thought the story was well thought out, and in a way where some things are answered, but there is still enough left that I already bought the second book. The character development was awesome, and you end up loving some of the characters, and really being annoyed with other ones.

It's set in high school, which sometimes I really hate because they make everything so unrealistic (like how kids act, things they say, etc) but I think Hand did a really good job of keeping it real. I am very excited to read the next one, and can't wait to see what happens... although I do love Tucker, and hope things turn out for him :)

Review: Lament: The Faerie Queen's Deception

Lament: The Faerie Queen's Deception by Maggie Stiefvater

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



This was an interesting book. It wasn't my favorite, although it had potential. I thought the story was good, and the characters were okay, you just didn't connect with them throughout the book. There were quite a few things that were left unfinished, and some characters just kind of disappeared, while others were there the whole time, you just didn't understand their story.

There were good parts of the book, and parts that were lacking. After finishing it, I know what happened, but I am not quite sure I understand the reasons for why it happened.

There is a second book called Foretell, but after reading the description, I don't think it's a continuation of the same story. Maybe the answers are in that book, but I don't really want to read it to find out.

Review: The Book Thief

The Book Thief by Markus Zusak

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



Now that I'm done crying, I feel that I can write a proper review.

This book was amazing.

It originally was REALLY hard to start. It's told from a very different perspective, in a very different way. At times it may be a little hard to follow, but it all comes together eventually.

To say the least, this was a touching story. About a young girl, and her life during WWII. It's an interesting story with new perspective on how you actually read. You grow to care for the characters and all their imperfections, which make them perfect to the reader. Assuming you have a heart.


I loved this book. Definitely need to get a copy for myself.

“A snowball in the face is surely the perfect beginning to a lasting friendship.”

“I have hated words and I have loved them, and I hope I have made them right.”
