1st Official Beach Day!!!

That's right folks!!! It finally happened this past Sunday. I took the kids to the beach!!! It was beautiful even though the water was absolutely freezing. That didn't stop my kids from getting in and splashing around...

We stayed maybe 2 hours tops and the kids already have tan lines!!! The weather since then has gone dramatically downhill but I'm hoping we'll be able to hit the beach by the end of the weekend...keep your fingers crossed!!!

Become a Character in the next Jolie book Contest!!!!

Looking back...

This picture was taken almost exactly a year ago. What does that mean? It means that this time last year it was hot enough to go the beach...it ain't that hot this year!!! Come on Mother Nature, throw me a bone here!!!

Side note: Look at my cute little Water Bugs!!! They can't wait for the beach either!!! Have a great weekend y'all!!! <3

Molasses...52 in 52 update.

Yep, as in as slow as...As you can see at the top of the page, this is Week 21 folks and I'm on Book 41. I know, I'm still 20 books ahead but I was really steaming along there!

I've just swapped books with a friend. I gave him The King Must Die and he gave me The Princess Bride. I've seen the movie and I like it...we'll see how I like the book.

Who actually reads this?

So I'm sitting here, checking all the blogs I follow, and I'm wondering who actually reads this blog of mine...? I checked my sitemeter account and people all over the world are stumbling across here. I wonder what they think of this little piece of the internet. It also occurs to me that it really doesn't matter. I write this for me. Every now and then I got back and look at previous posts. Some are entertaining. I don't even remember writing them. It honestly feels like I'm rediscovering who I was in that particular moment. Some of the posts are painful. I tend to brush over those but still they're there to remind me what I've experienced, how I've changed... Just thinking out loud folks.

So do me a favor, if you're reading this, even if you just stumbled across it on a google search for something far more exciting, leave me a comment. I'll be sure to drop in on your piece of the internet and see what you're up to!!!

Also, a 52 in 52 Update - I haven't read anything new in a week and a half! I know, shocking! I've got a new release coming tomorrow and I'm excited to see what happens. It's the 3rd book a series by Aprilynne Pike. If you haven't checked her our, please do. She's fun and imaginative. I'm enjoying her books so much!!!
