Review: Breathless

Breathless by Jessica Warman

My rating: 2 of 5 stars



This was an okay book. I was definitely left wanting more. I felt like there could have been a much better story, and felt misled by the description. There are certain parts of the story that I found ridiculous, and thought that the characters were unrealistic. It's definitely a different take on the family, and granted my family is nothing like this, I still wasn't believing all that happened.
Then when the book ended, there was so much left undone. There were loose ends that were cleaned up in an epilogue, which was fast and uneventful.
I'm glad I read it, but would never buy it.

Legacy Springs

We decided back in February to join the bandwagon that is Legacy Springs apartments. We have quite a few friends that have spent time here, and thought we needed a change, so we looked into it, and we could be in by March 1.

 Justin looking thrilled

 This is as you walk in, the couches (and Justin) are just on the other side of the black shelf.

 Our little kitchen.

 My niece being hilarious - she wasn't touching the computer, but she'd get as close as possible, so she wouldn't get in trouble.

 Game night with some friends. Jenga is surprisingly fun.

That was a fun night! We've got some pretty awesome friends.

The Romantic that is my husband (when I beat it out of him)

So a few weeks ago, I had been telling Justin that he needs to do something romantic. That he needed to romanticize me. I was saying this because so much of his time has been occupied with school and work, and I was starting to feel a little pushed to the side. Granted, that's just me being a girl, but I am a girl, so whatev.

One Thursday night I went to Wal Mart and got us some treats, a bag of Cadbury eggs, some special drinks, and then maybe a movie? It's been so long that neither of us can remember. Well I'd set the stuff up on our bed, and just kind of had a fun night watching something awesome, I'm sure.

Well that night I jokingly told Justin "You have one day, or else." Really I said it in jest, quoting Michael Scott when he makes the video on the Watermark episode... but I guess Justin took me serious.

Friday we were planning on going to Mo' Bettah's for dinner because Justin loves Hawaiian food, and he asked me (via chat) what I was going to get, so I told him. Thinking nothing of it. Well when I left work, I had to run to my parent's house to get something (a movie, I'm sure) so I called Justin and asked him if he wanted to go with me, or if he wanted me to come get him and then we could run over there. He said he wanted to go, so I headed to our apartment. When I got there, I called him to say I was there, and to run down. Naturally, he didn't answer.

So I'm all in a huff that I have to run upstairs. When I got to the door, Justin opened it and told me to close my eyes. Me being who I am, get all annoyed (he said I had my 'pissed face' on) but I closed my eyes, and called him a weirdo over and over. He walked me into our apartment and sat me down on a chair, and then took my shoes and socks off (I was definitely calling him names at this point) but then he put my feet into a water massager, and told me to open my eyes.

He'd set up a candle lit dinner! He'd left work early and gotten the food, and it was all set up and waiting to be eaten. I was SO surprised. He'd even gone to Wal Mart and bought candles and little stands for them to be in... it was SO thoughtful.

The picture of the food is after I'd eaten my share, but just know, it looked FANTASTIC and tasted great.

I have the best husband ever.

Review: Hallowed

Hallowed by Cynthia Hand

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



I have really enjoyed these books. I'm excited for the next one to come out, and see where the story ends. I feel the characters have been well developed, the story is getting more personal, and I find myself confused on who I want her to be with.

There are certain things that I find frustrating in the book, but I had to remind myself that the characters are in high school. Most of them, at least. So when I get annoyed with something that they're doing, I would think about what age they are, and it makes more sense.

I definitely would recommend these books to anyone looking for a fun and easier read!

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.
