It is definitely a Monday here at work. It's only 10:27 and I've already been yelled at by a customer. Not the way you want to start your week.

So who had a good Halloween weekend? Ours was okay. For some reason, I didn't really get in the Halloween mood this year. Which is odd for me, because I am a lover of all things creepy. Maybe it was because ( Read more... )

It rained all day today and now it's thick with fog. I love this sort of weather. Despite it being rainy, it was still incredibly warm. We're getting there on the temps! And, being totally, completely in love with the rain, I wanted to start my baby girl out early. We bundled her up, wrapped her in two blankets, hid her beneath an umbrella, and ( Read more... )

I've decided I'm going to keep track of the books I've read this year. Last year, before I got pregnant and lost my writing mojo, I neglected my reading pile. This year, I'm going to try to read more because a) it's fun and b) it'll be good for the writer in me.

In January, I read:

Need
Confessions of a Shopaholic
Shopaholic takes Manhattan

1. I'm quitting energy drinks tomorrow! I binged all weekend, cut back yesterday, only had one today, and tomorrow I'll have none. Seriously, if I quit smoking, I can quit energy drinks and stick with it!

2. Allow me a moment to be a crabby bank teller: Don't bring eight deposits and two tax payments to the drive-thru thereby holding everyone else ( Read more... )

It's been entirely too long since I made a big purchase of books from Amazon.com. But now that I'm working and getting a steady paycheck, yea-ha! I'm buying some books, dang it!

I just hit the submit button on my order.

I bought:

Thirteen Reasons Why
I've been wanting to read this book for months now. I requested it at the library, but it took them ( Read more... )

The writing break went well! I think I needed it anyway, considering I was starting a new job. After overloading my brain with all these new bank rules, it was nice to come home and just surf the Internet or sit down with a book. I finished Bloom, as I said and started Vampirates and Story of a Girl, which the library FINALLY got in. I was bugging ( Read more... )

I read Bloom (Elizabeth Scott) yesterday and really loved it. Maybe I loved it so much because it reminded me of Dessen's The Truth About Forever. BUT...the similarities also pulled me out of the story a few times. Like that Lauren's boyfriend is perfect in every way. That her father works in land development and has a hard time communicating with ( Read more... )

Agent Lady from Friday hasn't emailed me back yet. I'll snail mail the MS over tomorrow, absent email be damned!

Hopefully she'll still read it because I'm rather low on AA requests and I have to take all I can get.

In other news, I got a call today from The Bank.

Bank Lady says, "Hey Jennifer! You haven't taken that other job yet, have you?"
