day two

i'm thankful for...

kleenex cool touch tissues

seriously, they are amazing!

 i've had a cough and a runny/stuffy nose

for almost a month now and

my nose is super red and dry

and it hates tissues now

but these,

these are heaven sent!

they are cold to the touch

like you've been keeping them in the fridge

and make your nose feel better

the one when i am SOO excited!

so i love reading

and it wasn't always that way

i hated reading until 4th or 5th grade

and one of the lowe boys

told me about his class reading harry potter

and i was like harry what?

and then that christmas my mom

got the first three books

and the rest was history

i love the initial reading of a book

not knowing what is going to happen

feeling your hand turn the page in anticipation

i just love it all

i love rereading books

because you get to be excited all over again

and i'm not so anxious and paranoid

not paranoid about me, but what is going to happen to

our dear main character

and i almost never get rid of books, 

only if they were horrible books do they get taken to the DI,

because one day i want a library like the one in

beauty and the beast

or the swan princess

and one of those ladders attached to the wall

SO cool!

but i digress

this summer, in preparation for the family reunion

mom bought me books

from the DI

[which is one of the best places to look for books,

because if they're crappy you only spent like $2

and if they're amazing it's a total STEAL]

one of them was 'something borrowed'

by emily giffin

from emilygiffin.com

and if i didn't already love her book

she used to live in london

and now lives in ATL

i want to meet her!

but the book is so good

it follows rachel who is the under dog

her friend darcy gets everything

and rubs it in rachel's nose

and for once rachel goes for what she wants,

darcy's fiance.

which she did know first

and dexter, the fiance, totally initiated it

and darcy doesn't even love him!

and she's a horrible person,

you'll find out in the book-i can't ruin it for you!

can you tell i love rachel?

i've read the book at least 3 times

and plan on another one before

it comes out in theaters

may 6

you can also read darcy's view

off all that went down in

'something blue'

from emily giffin.com

she has three other books too

so maybe she'll be like nicholas sparks

and they'll make tons of her books into movies

the one with midway to heaven

desert book had a ladies night

they gave away tons of cool stuff

and what did i get?

midway to heaven, which i never would have bought

a bracelet way too small for my man wrists

and a 3 month membership to clearplay

which i can't use because i don't have one of their dvd players

so the verdict on the prize-LAME

but i figured i'd watch the movie

it's centered around a father-jed and a daughter-liz

and their realtionships

the mom died while liz was in high school from cancer

liz is now attending BYU and is in love with david

[played by kirby heyborne]

jed is still having a hard time moving on

and thinks david is too perfect

liz bothers me

and it bothers me that michelle money is in it

[aka crazy slc girl from the bachelor]

i don't want to ruin the movie for you

but verdict on the movie?

rent, only if you must!
