Thank you for the sweet congratulations comments on our third anniversary, and of course for pupper-related comments. Who doesn't love when people say sweet things about their babies?! We had a chill night in, both sniffly and asleep by 10:15. Lamers! haha I do have some non-lame news though: My first giveaway with CSN Stores – AWESOME! I had checked out their site before and they have everything! I mean really –cookware, fitness equipment, swingsets, outdoor furniture – you name it, they have it. I have my eye on an outdoor rug. :) They generously offered to give one of you a gift certificate for $15. To enter the giveaway, just visit CSN Stores and come back here to leave a comment saying what you would like to get! I’ll close it out and choose a winner through random number generator at 5 p.m. EST Thursday,February 24.K, back to normal programming, today I woke up early, hit the Kroger by my house for items I couldn't find at Publix yesterday, and tried to make a new breakfast recipe. I'm not going to say FAIL, but I definitely won't post - it needs to be reworked before sharing. Sigh. After my blah breakfast I just worked, and then during lunch I walked 4 miles while finishing up Gillian Flynn's Dark Places.
Book Review: So at first I was all into it, so excited to read another book by the author of Sharp Objects. But I really didn't like the main character. I did like the back and forth (different perspectives and different time periods), but I don't know - I just found myself annoyed with everyone. Annoyed with the boy for being so easily peer pressured, annoyed with the mom for not being a mom - just letting things go and being almost scared of her children - it was just kind of like watching a train wreck - one that could have been avoided at SO many points had someone stepped up. I guess that's how I felt. The mystery was good, and it was definitely a great ending, but it just didn't make up for the rest and it took too long to get there. I hate when I find myself skimming because the description is so random it distracts from the plot. I give it a 3/5. I think it would have been a 4/5 if it had been edited down a good bit - this was the worst part to me. :(
K - i'm off to dinner with Austin but I leave you with a home tip I got from Real Simple that I thought was clever: Instead of folding towels, roll them. It takes up less space and looks better! :)
Q: What would you order from CSN? Respond in the comments to enter the giveaway!
Q: Do you fold your towels, or are you already rolling? I converted based on this article - I like it better and it really looks so cute to me!
