the m's.

i was aghast.
i had just finished our book club book of 500+ pages in 2 sittings.
i rushed to half price books to pick the second & third in the trilogy.
i had in mind that the author's last name was myers.
as i arrived slightly out of breath at the "m's" in the young adult fiction section, the only book series i saw were a little series called twilight.
oh! the agony. what to do?
since i didn't see the hunger games anyways, i slowly walked out. dejected. ashamed of myself.
then i accidentally drove straight to book people.
i found myself walking expectantly towards the "m's" but still couldn't find what i knew i shouldn't have.

twist:
an employee at book people asked if he could help me with anything. i sheepishly said i was looking for the hunger games by stephanie myers. he relieved my agony and said that the series was actually written by suzanne collins and that it was quite popular among more well read patrons of the store.

then i paid $19.95 for a book for the first time in my life.
i justified it by buying the third in the trilogy online with an amazon.com gift card.

the end.

coldplay songs.

from where i'm sitting on my fantastic orange chair i can see 4 clocks. 

of the 4, 2 don't work. 

is that weird?

IKEA. the store.

so jonathan and i decided to head up to IKEA to get some stuff to organize his room and to get me a $4 lamp to take better pictures for my other blog. it went a little something like this...

fabulous soup.

in junior high, i used to babysit a girl down the street, leigha. while i can't seem to remember what games we played, what pictures we drew, or what cartoons we watched, i do vividly remember coming home and telling my mom about this amazing soup leigha's mom had waiting for us on the stove for dinner.

my mom, being the kind mother she is, asked leigha's mom the recipe so she could make this fabulous soup.

turns out it was beef & veggie soup from a can.

here's to classy taste.
here's to being really, really tired of eating soup all week.
here's to a quick recovery!

ideas?

i started a new blog. it won't replace this one by any means, but it will give me a bit of a creativity boost.(http://thatolthing.blogspot.com) 

so here's the question: how do i better link the two? or should i not? ideas?

oops.

one of my favorite people gave me the cutest christmas present. it was beautifully wrapped and contained some fabulous lotion and a mysterious foil wrapped ball. it smelled heavenly.

wait.

let me preface something first. i've started working out which means that i've been considerably more hungry as of late. okay. proceed.

well i unwrapped the sweetly smelling treat only to find out the hard way that it was sweetly smelling bath salt. and not so sweetly tasting.

now i'm in the mood for white chocolate...and a bath...
