My lunch break.

Not pictured: a bowl of oatmeal.

I know, I know. Lame lunch is lame. But I was uninspired and low on food. And eating copious amounts of watermelon is ALWAYS a good choice.

This Book you guys. Read it. I bought it Monday night and have managed to devour it in the evenings since then. I’m reading on any downtime I have a work, after work, lunch, before bed, while waiting for my nephew’s baseball game to start. I’m reading it at a frenzied pace. If you like “The Fault in Our Stars” then you’ll like this. Truth be told: I wasn’t a huge fan of that book, but the premise of this one caught my eye.

Also, thank you for all the nice comments on my hair yesterday you guys!! I haven’t had highlights in YEARS so I have to say it still startles me to see it when I get up in the morning. But I really like it. Change is good, right?

Tonight I have dinner plans with my college roomie. I haven’t seen her in months. Should be a good time.

Happy Friday Eve friends! 🙂

A little book love

I am a bibliophile. I have had a love affair with books since I was a child. My favorite thing to do is get lost in a good book. My library has become quite massive.

On that note, can we talk about how much I’m loving Rainbow Rowell right now?

I read her first book Attachments a few years ago. Then, I read Eleanor and Park last month. Last night, I bought FanGirl for my Nook. I was devouring it. Reading it at such a pace that felt frantic. Like I couldn’t get enough, and it was going to go somewhere. You know that feeling? I love that feeling. That’s the sign of a good book to me. I’ve read all of her books at that pace. So.freakin’.good.

It doesn’t hurt that she’s from Omaha. Her books are set in Nebraska. FanGirl is set at my Alma Mater, the University Of Nebraska-Lincoln. I love the references!

In summation: read the books, if you haven’t already. I’m sure some of you have!

Monday, Monday

Lately I’ve been all about the bullet points on here. Does that annoy you or, are you like me, and that helps you read the posts? I like lists. I love things on Buzzfeed and Thought Catalog for this reason.

But I digress.

Let’s chat:

I lifted weights tonight. The gym was PACKED. So many good-looking dudes! I was in my happy place! 😉
I had some frank conversations with my bestie. Made me evaluate things. Hmm.
I’m speaking at my Alma Mater tomorrow. I went to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and one of my College of Journalism Professors has me come back each semester to speak to her classes. I talk about what it’s like being a News Producer, and how not all jobs in the biz are on the air. It’s fun and I enjoy doing it. I used to be very shy, so the fact that I am willing to do this sometimes surprises me!
I finished “Eleanor and Park” the other day. So. Freakin. Good.
On that note, I really like my Nook. It’s portable and fits right in my purse. I love having a book with me at all times.
It stresses me out when people say they hate reading. Like, are you proud of that? When a guy says it, I immediately find him less attractive…simply because of that. Reading is SEXY
See?
I have to run 3.5 miles tomorrow. I think I’m actually going to get it done before work since I speak at this class at 9:30 and am not going in to work until after. I’m pumped.

See ya on the flip side, friends!

My current view.

Being home with mom and dad means being home with their dogs, Molly and Sophie. Molly and I are snuggling while I re-read the Harry Potter series. I’m on book 3, started that today. I’m already 2/3s of the way thru it!

Reading while snuggling Molly is the best way to read!
