MAD.
(Photo Credit) Let me just state, I’m angry. Mad to the point I wish I could punch someone, and I’m not a violent person. Today was a great day. My boyfriend, his friend and I went out to the library, went out to get some food, just did some normal running around on our bikes. When we got where we were going, we chained all three of our bikes together in a nice area with lots of people around and went shopping for a bit. When we came back? Our friends bike was gone. Please explain to me how NOT…

A dream and a giveaway ;).
I have a dream. I have a dream that someday I’ll live in the house my heart desires, complete with a giant living room, comfy bedroom, lots of space (enough for a library of course) and gorgeous decor inside. *sigh* It probably won’t happen for a while, but a girl can dream! Isn’t this vanity gorgeous? It reminds me of something you’d see in a Victorian era house. With the top covered in sparkling perfume bottles, brushes and combs. I could sit in front of it and get gussied up for the day to come. Yup, I’m a dreamer and…

New Rating System and Post Breaks!
*waves happily to her new followers as is customary* Sorry I just have to do that every now and then. I never want anyone who follows my blog to feel like they are not appreciated! You all rock my socks. You spoke, I listened. After mulling over the votes on the poll I decided that I would just be better off doing a little bit of each thing. The votes were so varied, it reminded me that different people are always looking for different things in a review. Who am I to take that away from them? If you come…

2010 Summer Romance Challenge
Okay so I’ve always been one of those girls who has a hard time giving romance a chance. (Ha, yes that rhymes.) Due to that, and the fact that I am really trying to break out of my comfort zone, I decided that it is a great idea for me to join this challenge! 8 books in 4 months is totally do-able! Also I’m sure that so far I just haven’t really found the books I love within in this genre but that exist. So away I go! You can follow my progress over on my Challenges link above!
