WOW

I finished MockingJay and it was awesome. I'm happy, I'm sad, I'm depressed, and I'm in love. So many emotions for such a good book. I bawled my eyes out several times, but overall I can say that I'm happy how it ended. I'm happy that I can move on with my life again.

OBSESS MUCH?


So I'm a little embarrassed to admit this considering that this book will most likely become the next teen sensation (at which point I can NEVER admit that not only did I read them but couldn't get enough of them), but I'm OBSESSED with the Hunger Games series. Last night, Amy and I ventured to Barnes and Nobles to wait in line for the midnight release of Mockingjay. I couldn't wait another possible second to get my hands on the gem. We are so obsessed with Peeta and I even contemplated making "TEAM PEETA" shirts to show our support, but ran outta time. Needless to say, the activities weren't as cool as I thought they would be but we had a blast. It was just so fun to whine and complain about waiting and speculate about what will happen. I planned on staying awake all night and finishing it so that Amy couldn't beat me, but fell asleep after chapter 3 (not the book's fault; it's awesome, but I was just so tired). But I don't care what I have to do to finish it tonight, I'm gonna do it. Spoiler alert: THE BOOK IS FREAKING AWESOME!
Anyone else out there as devouted as us?

The Close of Summer

Well, it's official...Summer is basically over and then it's back to school for David and back to the grind for me. We have had the best summer ever and have been able to sneak away several times. You would think that with all the fun things we did, I would have lots of new, cute posts but unfortunately summer also means a break from the old blog. David starts school again full-time one week from day (Not much of a break considering he's been going all summer too and just finished last week). I'm dreading it and mostly dreading doing 130 move-outs and 202 move-ins this weekend and on Monday. I will be glad though since move-ins mean I will be done with the leasing part of my job and get back to the maintaining part, which I like a LOT better. David and I are planning to go to Montana for Labor Day weekend and I can't wait. Only 4 more months until Christmas now, but who's counting.
Pathetic I know, but Christmas break is the next thing I look forward to once school starts. That and Haunted Forests in October and yummy turkey in November.
