So Nice to Be Home

I just got home from a weekend with my mom and my grandma! It was so relaxing, and much needed because I miss my mom; however, I missed my home! I am cuddled up on the couch with a blanket watching Tool Academy (pretty sure all of my exes should be on there). Anyways nothing too exciting to blog about other than loving our house! Here is to another crazy week of school, work, and being back on a schedule! On a positive side I am going to get my scrapbooking table up and going, start a new book, hit the farmers market, and continue running with our dog! Nothing a little coffee and sleep wont help me accomplish!

L.A. Candy

Reading is probably my number one favorite thing to do! Does that make me incredibly nerdy....I like it so much I carry around a book in my purse at all times, and actually look forward to a night off so I can come home and read! Whatever, so i may not be the first one lined up at the club with a martini in hand (at least not most of the time), but I will be the first one in line at Barnes and Noble when a good book comes out. I have read a lot of book lately, and want to share some great ones. I think I already talked about Mitch Albom's Have a Little Faith. He is such an amazing writer, and this book brought tears to my eyes. Ya, those of you who know me know it doesn't take much; however, this book is one of my all time favorites. If you believe in God, or even if you don't this book will really intrigue you and your faith with some points. I just recently finished A Thousand Splendid Suns, by Khaled Houseini. It is a story about two incredibly strong women, and the hardships they face growing up in Afghanistan. I have never been so inspired in my life, or so determined to fly to Afghanistan and start a feminist movement! Finally, the whole reason for my blog today was the book LA Candy by.....Lauren Conrad (also known as LC on Laguna Beach and the Hills). Ok so she is not exactly Jane Austen, but if you are into the drama of the hills it is entertaining enough...I'm hooked! Granted she wont be making Oprah's book list, but it is not as bad as I thought it would be. Well I suppose that is all for now...anyone have any good book recommendations?
