Finished

I finished The Secret Life of Bees  on Wednesday.  It was such a fabulous book, I would recommend the read to anyone! The story of a young girl searching for the truth about her mother and subsequently finding "mothers" to spend her life with, truly touched my heart. I found myself crying a lot during the book because Lilly came so alive through the pages.

Liz and I have a date to see the movie when it comes out. I am so excited, and will probably cry like a baby! :)

What I'm Reading...

Since I finished The Bridges of Madison County on Friday, I needed to start a new book.  Today I began The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd. I'm only 30 pages in so far, but it is great.  

The novel is also making its debut as a movie this month, with the likes of Dakota Fanning, Queen Latifah, Alicia Keys, etc.,  so I can't wait to finish the book and then see the movie!

Fun Day...

So last night I had the worst night's sleep in a long time, not really sure why but oh well.  I thought today would be long and hard to get through, but I had a really great day! Emmy and I played with play-doh for hours and then we went to Target.  

I've become obsessed with my teeth so I bought some white trays, new floss, toothpaste and mouthwash.  I am curious to see how it all works together.

I also purchased the new Jonas Brothers CD (haha, love them!) and Sex & The City! Overall it was a great day!! 

I also got plans for this weekend set for the most part and I'm ridiculously excited! Creamy Acres, Apple Festival, Chickie's, Flyers, going out in the city and hanging out with my bests. Amazing!!!

My word for the day: excitedddddd!

New Job!!!

Yay, so I just came back from an "interview" with a family for a potential nanny position.  Well needless to say I took the job because of the perks.  And here they are: 40% more pay than my current job, 4 day work week, paid holidays and paid vacation.  Yah that will definitely work for right now.  I also let them know of my intention on beginning nursing school in the future and they said they would work a schedule around me.  Pretty awesome, huh? Needless to say I am really excited because this time a week ago I was slightly freaking out.  Yayyy!!! :) 

My word for the day is: fabulous!!!!!

My Obsession

I am totally obsessed with my Members Only leggings! I ordered them from Kitson in LA and as soon as they got here, I put them on and fell in love. I have noo idea what to wear with them, but I'm going to try this place Francesca's that Liz and Alena told me about.  I hope I find something because I cannot wait to wear them out!

Happy.

For some reason, which is a good reason haha, I woke up this am just happy. There is no other way to explain it, just happy.  I am okay with everything that is going on in my life right now and I'm looking forward to the future. 

So my word for the day is: happy. Plain and simple.

My Weekend

Last night I went out with Liz and Alena to this great wine bar in Hammonton.  The food was delish even though the portions were small and the wine was excellent! We then took ourselves to Rocco's Townhouse which was so fun, and I enjoyed being the tallest person there. Haha, no joke I towered, but I'm over it. :) Liz and Alena are so fun to hang out with and I can't wait to do it again some time!

Today, I am babysitting for the people that I work for from 4:15pm to about midnight I assume.  It's money in the bag so that's exciting and it should be easy considering the kids just play with each other.

And tomorrow I have an "interview" of sorts with a family for a potential nanny position.  I really wanted to put my education to use and find an office job, but with today's job market I'm not sure how that's going to work out for me.  Therefore, I may just take this job for a little while until I find something else. :)

So far the weekend has been great and I kind of enjoy the "slowness of it."  Ever since the ex and I broke up I've been going, going, going and it's nice to relax a little.  :)
