Notes in the key of G

how many hours are there in a day???

for some reason i seem to forget that there REALLY aren't more than 24 hours in a day. and yet i still try to cram tons of things in! example...

monday: meeting after school, shopping with the boy (gifts bought: zero)
tuesday: shopping with the boy (gifts bought: two)
wednesday: meeting after school...in another city, dinner with eliz
thursday: appt after school, possible decorating of the tree
friday: i can't remember but i'm sure it will come to me
saturday: morning haircut, afternoon baking of holiday cookies with jen
sunday: (already?!) attempt shopping again!

the next week isn't looking any better.

in my free time (my what?!?!) i've been trying to read rick warren's the purpose of christmas. so far i'm really liking it. i think i recommend it ;) helps you to see the joy of the season.

 
 

sigh

picked this up yesterday



because the ache is back. the "there's gotta be something more" ache. the "i'm tired of hearing everyone else's good news" ache. the "i've got the career...now what?" ache.

this feeling could have something to do with the fact that i'm sick and tired of hearing how everyone else's life is changing.
1. i'm having a baby
2. i'm engaged
3. i'm moving into a house

keep in mind, i'm not stupid. i'm glad those above mentioned life-changing experiences are not happening to me right now. because frankly: 1. i'm (insert profanity here that rhymes with trucking) glad i'm NOT having a baby with him! 2. i have yet to meet someone i'm willing to become engaged to and share the rest of my life with. 3. i'm not willing to waste my hard earned moola on rent. i want to buy.

so while i'm waiting for my time to come, i'm going to read. so that way, when my goodness does show up, i'll be the best i can be.

or at least that's what i keep telling myself.

twilight

because sarah and ek have talked so extensively about this book and recommended it SO many times, i finally broke down and bought it. the problem? finding time to read it amongst the 9 other books i want to read!

reading

harry
in prep for

less than 100 pages left.
good stuff :)

let the party begin

books

so i'm almost done with eat, pray, love.
i took my sweet time with this book because i didn't want to rush it. it's just too good. do you ever do that with a book? not wanting it to end?

wanting to buy the coolest book light ever

wondering if anyone has any good book recomendations?
ahem...elise... :)

so i finally finished a book!
one of my goals this year was to read a book each month. i have really missed reading for pleasure so i thought it was a good idea to set a goal like this. i didn't realize how much of my time would be taken up by school work though! so you can understand why i am excited to finish up.

however...are you ever sad to finish a book? i feel like i get so engrossed in the story that i'm actually sad when it is over. :(
i want to know what happens next with the character.
i wish samantha and nathaniel good luck!

now i'm looking at my over flowing bookcase and wondering what book to start next. any suggestions?

instead of studying

when i was little i used to devour books. i can easily get lost in one. unfortunately, my reading shifted over the years from reading for pleasure to reading for school. even now...as i sit here studying for the cset tomorrow...i think about all the new books i bought recently and so wish i was reading them instead of a biology book!

so a couple of weeks ago borders was having an educators discount and i took FULL advantage of the 25% off. i bought 9 books!
some classics including...

one of my favorites from honors english in high school.

i also got

another great one that i had to read back in the day.

what's wrong with society you ask? well i'm sure

will tell me. her other book, "eats, shoots, and leaves" seemed pretty funny based on the one paragraph i read of it so i thought i would get a version of my very own.

for something a little inspirational

because everyone should follow their dreams.

because i miss my family back home

there is one about tuscany too. i'll see how this is first...

i got

because i TOTALLY am! this is the lady who did the "can you keep a secret" series which was pretty humorous.

a little

because i guess i am a "scientist". at least, i play one at work. i think it's funny that this is a dual story and i'm interested to see how it flows.

i'm single and i love martinis! so i got this

:)

right now i'm reading

i'm catholic...and this is funny! love the best friend biff and the fact that this story is told when jesus was a child. "can't you just grow up and be the messiah already?!" this one is quite entertaining. :)

so as you can see...it's pretty hard to sit here and study biology when i could be reading something much more entertaining. but i doubt jesus pretending to be moses at 10 yrs old is going to be on my test tomorrow.

wish me luck!
