This week, I'm sharing...

Here's the synopsis:
 Sometimes discovering the truth can leave you more hopeless than believing the lies…

That’s what seventeen-year-old Sky realizes after she meets Dean Holder. A guy with a reputation that rivals her own and an uncanny ability to invoke feelings in her she’s never had before. He terrifies her and captivates her all in the span of just one encounter, and something about the way he makes her feel sparks buried memories from a past that she wishes could just stay buried.

Sky struggles to keep him at a distance knowing he’s nothing but trouble, but Holder insists on learning everything about her. After finally caving to his unwavering pursuit, Sky soon finds that Holder isn’t at all who he’s been claiming to be. When the secrets he’s been keeping are finally revealed, every single facet of Sky’s life will change forever.

Here are my thoughts:
I love Colleen Hoover. And I absolutely loved the first half of this book. But in the second half, secrets start unraveling. And these secrets are raw, intense, and completely disturbing. While I did love the overall storyline of this book, there is no way I could read it again. It was just too much to be a re-read.

Beach Baby

Our annual beach trip with my FIL and family is this weekend!

We are so excited to take Skeeter for the first time.

Last weekend, I took her on a "trial run" of sorts with my family.

It gave me a good  idea of things I'll need to pack this weekend.

But, I'm asking you...

What are your toddler/child beach must haves??

Her bucket has her name on it.  I didn't just randomly feel the need to edit a heart in there.

This week, I'm sharing...

Here is the synopsis:
Meet Pat. Pat has a theory: his life is a movie produced by God. And his God-given mission is to become physically fit and emotionally literate, whereupon God will ensure a happy ending for him -- the return of his estranged wife Nikki. (It might not come as a surprise to learn that Pat has spent time in a mental health facility.) The problem is, Pat's now home, and everything feels off. No one will talk to him about Nikki; his beloved Philadelphia Eagles keep losing; he's being pursued by the deeply odd Tiffany; his new therapist seems to recommend adultery as a form of theraphy. Plus, he's being hunted by Kenny G!

Here are my thoughts:
Okay, so I know that this one has received endless praise and all...but I didn't love it.  Don't get me wrong- I LIKED it.  I just felt like I kept waiting for something more.  I think it's probably because it was hyped up so much.

That said-- I loved the movie.  Mr. BUB really liked it too.  Although, it did stray from the book a little more than I would've liked, it was funny and uplifting.


What are you currently reading??

Don't.

Fair warning- on December 5, do not call me, text me, email me, AIM me, Facebook me, or ICQ me.

Ha, like that throwback?  Remember ICQ?

Anyway, don't.

I'll be busy.

Yep!

Tara and I got tickets!!

Obviously, we have elaborate plans to camp out outside his hotel.

And we've already started our legal fund to fight the restraining order he's bound to take out.

Everybody Dies Famous...

You know the saying "Everybody dies famous in a small town."?  

Miranda Lambert (aka my boyfriend's wife) sang a song about it.

Well, I'm from a tiny town...and I finally found my claim to fame...

Famous for being pulled over- and ticketed- three times in the same spot.

And before you think I'm a reckless driver- or just don't learn my lesson- the three incidents have been over the years since I turned 16.  Not all recent.

My green eyes and irresistible charm (ha!) haven't worked once in that spot either.

Defensive driving, here I come...

Anyone want to take it for me?

No, but seriously...

The Voice

So I'm pretty much obsessed with The Voice this season.  I mean, I can't picture a better lineup of judges.  Sorry, Christina and Cee-Lo.  

Mr. BUB is a huge fan of Shakira being on the show.  In fact, most of our conversations lately go a little like this:

 Me:  I like Blake's blue eyes.

Mr. BUB:  God, Shakira's cute.

Me:  That was a really good performance.

Mr. BUB:  Shakira is so pretty.

Me:  The songs are really good this week.

Mr. BUB:  Shakira's vocabulary is better than mine.

Me:  I'm going to vote for Michelle!

Mr. BUB:  I love Shakira.

Unfortunately, I've been sitting around watching The Voice instead of sticking to my usual workout routine.  I don't want to give up my Adam/Blake/Usher eye candy time, so I've come up with a better solution:

The Voice Workout

A New 'Do

Oh hi...I'm still alive here.  Last week was rough.  Skeeter caught Roseola, which has a really high fever.  So this momma was up every thirty minutes through the night until it broke.  Can you say 'exhausted'?

Luckily, I got a little time to myself Saturday and was able to hit the hair salon.  My hair was really long and starting to get too thin on the ends (thanks post- pregnancy hair loss), so I was way overdue for a cut.

Here's a before picture:

This is the picture I took in as an example:

And here's the results:

Overall, I'm loving it!  It's so much lighter and looks thicker.

How was your Mother's Day?
