miscellaneous ramblings

happy friday! it's my day off from work [as was yesterday], and i am oh so very happy. [don't hate me, pretty soon i will be watching my 8&9 year old brothers, and 14 year old sister 3+ days a week. and working still.] but anywho...

yesterday i finished the last PRETTY LITTLE LIARS novel by sara shepard. i was tres disappointed. it's not that it wasn't good... it was. it's just that she used a technique that i find to be a cop out in writing. it was comparable to if JK Rowling ended Harry Potter with "and then he woke up. it was all a dream."

but i started I Was Told There'd be Cake by Sloane Crosley. I need to go back to the library and grab Water for Elephants. i keep forgetting! and i still didn't start The Glass Castle. apparently, HBO is making Cake into a tv show?! so i'm glad i'm reading it now, and i'll have to check out the show when it's on dvd.
speaking of HBO dvd's, i am now on the fourth episode of season one of TrueBlood. i like it, but the main reason i'm pushing forward with it is because it seems like the second season was really good and i can't watch that without the first.

however i might skip to the office's second season. i tried watching the first, and hated it. but then i was watching it on tv [idk what season] and laughing my ass off. so even though i hate skipping and starting in the middle of things, i'd rather skip the non funny parts.

i had a really thoughtful post i wanted to share, and it flew out the window. the same window where dreams go- you know when you wake up sometimes and you KNOW you had a crazy dream and all you see is a flicker of a random object or event and can't put the whole dream together? it went out THAT window.

i think i want to have a contest/give away soon. i just don't know what the prize shall be. but i'll figure it out.

ALSO thank you to chelsea at TRIUMPHS AND BLUNDERS OF A KOOKY GAL and chantalle at CHAI, CINNAMON, AND COUTURE for their lovely comments and reading my musings. their blogs are so wonderful, so go check them out!! i love them just as much as i love the other blogs i've mentioned in the past. at chelsea's blog, you can read about all the lovely things she bakes and cooks, and your mouth will water. i want to make it all! and at chantalle's, you will see beautiful pictures and gorgeous fashion. i love all of her posts!
