On My Reading List: Books/Magazines I'm going to try to finish very soon.

So I was sort of redoing my room and re-organizing my desk... and I just had a big pile of stuff that I wanted to keep out so that I could read it soon. I love reading and its been a while... so here's my current reading list.

Alright not really in with this stuff... but something I need to finish is Yes, Please by Amy Poehler. I started this... probably well over a year ago. Lol. It kind of breaks my heart to finish it because I feel like Amy's my friend and I've learned a lot about her and about life and about myself from this book and I don't want it to end... so I still have a few chapters left. I don't think this will be the next thing I'm going to finish... but I'll finish it in the near future because why not.

I'm going to start out with books. The first book I have on here is Amazing Amy Tattle Tail. This is based on Gone Girl's Amy... and I've read it before... but I want to watch the movie gone girl again soon and re-read this and read the next book I have on here... before or after that. Its a kids book really... but if your a grown up that knows Gone Girl... its a little creepy.

Then I have The Grownup also by the author of Gone Girl, Gillian Flynn. This is a short book, it was originally in an anthology book that George RR Martin put together about ghost stories. I think thats pretty cool. George RR Martin just asked Flynn to write a ghost story and I'm sure she delivered in a big way. The cover of this is pretty cool and creepy too... so I want to read this ASAP! I've wanted to read it for a long time... but I didn't know where the book was. But I found it today and I'm going to read it soon!

Next I have one I need to read. What Color is Your Parachute, its a job hunting book and its the best selling Job Hunting Book. I need a job... so yeah. This needs to be read. Lol.

Next I'm really really excited for Welcome To Nightvale. I love the podcast... I haven't listened to it in a while... but I think its awesome and I'm really happy that there is a book to go with it. I haven't started any of these yet... but I feel like if you like comedy, paranormal stuff and specifically the type of humor in Parks and Recreation, you'll like it. Listen to the podcast first then maybe read my review of the book and buy it. Lol.

Then I have Modern Romance by Aziz Ansari! I love Aziz and thought this would be fun to read in February for Valentines Day!

Then the last 3 are magazines. This is kind of random... but I'm subscribed to Better Homes and Gardens, Instyle and Entertainment Weekly because I ordered something online and it came with a free subscription for a certain period of time... you can opt out but I always forget to check. Anyway I like the magazines... so its okay with me.

I have one Better Homes and Gardens here, this has Jessica Alba on the cover. These I like because its about more than Homes and Gardens. It has style tips, celebrity interviews... you can see celebrities decor and its just pretty awesome. I like that a lot.

Then I have the Rolling Stone David Bowie Issue with him looking very handsome on the cover. David Bowie is my all time favorite singer and I really admire him and needed this magazine... so that is that.

And a random Entertainment Weekly. I like collecting magazines... but if the cover comes off or something I'll just throw them out. I'm big into pictures and lists instead of just reading  it... but I want to get more into reading it. This had American Crime Story on the cover... which I'm excited about! I think I posted my review on it yesterday... but if not it'll be up tomorrow cause I'm planning to write a review on it... but at this time that's the future and I'll already have this written... so yeah. Lol. But look for it or come back for it. Lol.

Byeee!

It List: May 2017

Can't believe it's the last day of May... this was a great time for TV... so let's get right into it! 1) Master of None- The second season of this show was really really great! I liked the first season... but this season was just wayyy better to me for some reason... I loved that they had episodes about Italy and about New York... I think they did a really great job and I was so impressed with it... I'll have to watch the first season over again and do a Throwback Thursday on that sometime soon... but until then... season 2 was great! 2) Girl Boss- I finally got around to watching Girl Boss this month too... and I loved that show! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not... then I just couldn't stop watching it and I finished it in 2 days... which I guess is when I finished all the Netflix shows I'm talking about... but still. Girlboss was definitely really good... and I feel like I could watch this one over and over again too. 3) Unbrea...

Uhhhh... Where Have I been?

 So it hasn't been that long- but I did mention that I wanted to keep this more of a daily-ish blog than I have in years past... and my last post was the  4th and today was the 11th. Did I give up on my resolutions already?  No/Sort of... sooo basically I was kind of considering the real start of the new year January 5th... I was very busy with work things up until the 4th... the 4th was the big work event that I had to do... and then after that I could focus on whatever I wanted to focus on... and my blogs were going to be the number 1 thing that I focused on for sure... I might miss a few days... but surely I'd do something for this blog right on the 5th after the big work thing was done... so just leading up to that as long as I post something- everything is good right?  Nope- I realized my room design... needed some refreshing. And then one project turned into several projects and then that took a few days... I think I started on doing stuff on Wednesday of last ...

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...
