Time for some Randomness

This is going to be a random post since I want to post something here, but I don't really have much to say!

• School starts back up in about 4 weeks...I am ready!
• I am ready even though I have to start work then too.
• I am all caught up with PPB orders up to yesterdays orders.
• I have taken 3 orders since then!
• I am only taking orders for a couple more days then PPB will be closing up shop for good.
• My Book blog has taken off in the past few weeks.
• I am getting emails from authors to review their books.
• I have read A LOT of really good books in the past few weeks!
• I have found a couple of really really good authors because of the blog.
• It's SUPER fun to get free books in the mail in exchange for a review.
• It's even better when the book is signed to me!
• Right now I am reading an ARC Galley copy of a book in a series that I LOVE that doesn't even come out until 9/4...how cool it that?!!
• The down side is, you have to learn to decline books that have the potential to be bad or you waste time reading books that aren't very good.
• People are starting to annoy me...that's pretty vague
• I have been hiding statuses on FB that annoy me, and hiding/deleting people who always post things that annoy me
• I don't like statuses that are posted to garner attention...or ones that invite people to ask questions, just say what you want to say.  
• Don't post something and say, I don't want to give any details...if you don't want to give details then why post it in the first place?
• I am SICK of people judging others by saying things like "those who consider themselves to be Christians"...
• I am in a crappy mood today...just in case it wasn't obvious!
• I probably shouldn't be posting anything, but this is my blog and I can say what I want...
• it's not like anyone really reads this anyway!
• ok, I am going to stop now, but I am going to do a pet peeves post sometime so I can get it all out!

I don't want to have a post without a picture so here you go...is it time for Haven to come back yet?!!

This is my new computer wallpaper!

Let's talk True Blood

We are 2 weeks into the season now so I guess I need to post about it.  Here are my random thoughts on what's going on so far this season.

• I am now over the fact that the show is so much different than the books!
• There needs to be WAY more Alcide this season.
• I do NOT like that they saved Tara by turning her, I think LaLa had it right when he tried to stake her on Episode 2.
• I like Terry, but he is weirder this season than usual!
• I do NOT like that it's been 2 episodes now and Sookie hasn't been in a single scene with Eric OR Bill.
• I like that Lucy Griffiths (Marian from Robin Hood) is playing Eric's "sister".
• I don't like that he completely forgot about Sookie when he saw her!
• I don't like the whole Authority story line.
• I do like that Peter Menseh (Doctore/Oenomaus from Spartacus) is on the show!
• What happened to Jesus' body?
• I don't like "in charge" Jessica.
• I am sick of Hoyt blaming Jason for what happened with Jessica.  I know bro's before ho's and all that, but Hoyt made his decision when he threw her out.
• Where is Alcide in this picture?
• I have to post one of him to make up for it!

So, what do you think of the new season so far?

Monday Randomness

I think I should do all my blogs like this, especially on days when I want to blog, but don't have anything particularly interesting to say!!  Today, I think I will just tell you some random things about me.  Some you may know, some you may not...

• I can read a book a day, sometimes up to 5 books or more a week.
• It doesn't bother me to stay at home, sometimes days at a time.
• I had braces when I was pregnant with Colton, I was 28 when I had them put on.
• I would rather see any movie with a paranormal or action theme over a chick flick.
• I have never read a Graphic Novel, but I have bought the 1st Walking Dead Book, I just need to read it!
• I don't like to leave the house without makeup, but sometimes I just don't want to bother...
• I haven't been swimming in more than 5 years.
• I am annoyed right now that it's taking my iPhone AGES to upload my pictures to Google+.
• I only use Google+ to save my iPhone pictures and to occasionally plug my blogs.
• I have wanted to write a book since I was in High School, maybe one day I will...
• I absolutely can't leave the house in flip flops if my toe nails aren't painted.
• I would pack up and move away from here in a minute if Jake would.
• Of all the places I have visited, and there haven't been many, Seattle is the place I would most like to live.
• I was engaged my Senior year of HS, man am I glad that didn't work out!
• I don't have an IRL best friend, most of my friends are online.
• My IRL best friend from HS is married to the guy I was engaged to in HS...I guess I don't have to tell you that we haven't been friends since 1992!
• It was actually my fault that we broke up though...
• I don't feel like I am in my mid-upper 30's.  
• The closer I get to it, the less old 40 is!
• If American Idol had been around in the early to mid 90's I am pretty sure I would have auditioned.
• I don't have any tattoo's but I desperately want one.  I want one by Dan Smith, though, so I doubt I will ever get one!
• I never attended a public school in all my K-12 years.
• I now work for a public school and I realize how much I missed out on.

Hmmmm....maybe that's all I will do.  I may make this a weekly thing, there are so many annoying things about me that I could tell you.  Maybe I will do one of Pet Peeves or something.  I like list posts, that would be something cool to do as well.

I don't want to not post any pictures, but like I said Google+ is being a pain and it hasn't uploaded anything from the past 4 days... Ok, I know what I will do.  Last night was the last episode of this seasons Game of Thrones, here are a couple pictures of my absolute favorite 'minor' characters this season.

 I like him like this...NOT the face he showed at the end...I hope he comes back in the future.

Remember her from Downton Abbey?  I am hoping we see more of her (and Jon!) in the next season.  I still need to read the books though.  I am SO curious about the Wilding (zombies) at the end and I know that I am going to have to read the books to find out more about them.

Ok, that's all for now!  Have a great afternoon!
