To those who "celebrate" labor day.

I woke up to a voicemail from my job saying they called off our shift because of lack of work for tonight.

So hello random 4 day weekend :D

Maybe with my extra free time tonight, i might get some reviews written :D


This week i hope to get some reading done, but we'll see!

My Sunday Night :D

Another weekend is almost over.


Brock knows what's up.

It's freaking hottttttt here! 5pm and still 90 out. Ugh.



I want to get some reading done tonight for sure!

I'm hoping to finish one and start another.

I'm about 60% done with this, and i am addicted! I love this series!

I'm hoping this book kicks my slump.
I adore this series like crazy. 2 more books have be released since i last read them thou so i'm re-reading the 3 i did read so i can read the new ones.

If you need an awesome Zombie book, i highly suggest The Enemy. So freaking good!!!!!



Now i'm off to get me a Frappe and maybe find a shady area out in the world to read in :D

Paradise :)

Personal Update!

While some parts of my life is sinking like crazyyyy.
I.e. my love life and reading time.

Work seems to be going amazing!

I applied to work a season position that is higher than where i am now. I have the worst interview skills but i keep applying to and going through the process trying to perfect them.

So i went into the interview knowing i needed to make sure i used eye contact the whole time, and not move a muscle.

I think i nailed it :D

They give us feedback shortly afterwards, but while i was waiting for that news, a HR rep came in telling me they want to send me to do more training!

So i get to go to Scranton, PA at the end of this month to help open another warehouse there!!!! I'm pumped.

And then, when they gave me my feedback, they offered me the job!!!!!

So in the matter of like 15mins, i got a new training assignment and a new seasonal higher up job :D

Hopefully this all leads to some more awesome shiz as soon as our "peak" is over!

I was on track in June to read 300 books this year, but now I'll be lucky to hit 200.

Damn you reading slump!!!!

Everything, Everything
Nicola Yoon

My disease is as rare as it is famous. Basically, I’m allergic to the world. I don’t leave my house, have not left my house in seventeen years. The only people I ever see are my mom and my nurse, Carla.

But then one day, a moving truck arrives next door. I look out my window, and I see him. He’s tall, lean and wearing all black—black T-shirt, black jeans, black sneakers, and a black knit cap that covers his hair completely. He catches me looking and stares at me. I stare right back. His name is Olly.
