Organized Obsessed

As you may have already known...

I'm organized obsessed!

My obsession has now taken over TheLittleBear's snacks.

I line them up in rows...

And I even reorganize the snacks as they get disorderly as she eats them :)

Rory Lately...

It's been awhile since I've updated you on Rory's Life.

Lately, Rory has been spending her days and Granny and Grampy's house.

She receives a million belly rubs and cuddles a day.

She spends her time divided between guarding the front yard and back yard.

When she's finished with her daily guarding duties, 

she spends her time amongst the giant sunflowers :)

Fun Facts... About Me :)

1. I love reading. I love reading fiction, non fiction, cartoons, everything. If you follow me on Instragram you’ll have seen all the books I’ve devoured lately.

2. The one thing I crave when I’m feeling sad is a nice run. There is something about running (even in circles) that calms me and helps me work things through.

3. I took up sailing a couple of summers ago and it has become my happy place. Whenever I hear water, I’m instantly brought back to the peace of a sailboat.

4. When I see Shelties, I tear up. My first family dog was a Sheltie. His name was Meister (pronounced My-ster). My bedroom door didn’t close all the way unless you pushed really hard, and he knew that and would sneak into my room at night. I miss waking up and almost tripping over him.

5. I have kept a journal ever since I was twelve! I still have them all and occasionally will re-read the drama that was my life as a teenager. It's crazy that more than half my life has been documented. I hope upon my death, someone burns them all. No one should have to read the thoughts that went through my head during puberty ;)
               Fun Fact (within a Fun Fact): Any time I ended an entry and I was in school,
               I would always end by writing, "I have to go and do some homework now." Yup,
               I was 100% a nerd :)

Book Review, The Real Finale

I just finished this book in the nick of time to include it in my week long book review.

The most endearing thing I find in Rainbow Rowell's writing is the relationship between her characters. When her characters have dialogue and experiences together.

This book was a lot like Attachments. 

The two people you want to see more from don't interact as much as you'd like. 

Aside from that, I like it. 

I wouldn't yell from the heavens for everyone to read this, 

but for a nice little escape it was a perfect read. 

Oddly, I'm finding that I love young adult fiction more than I like adult fiction...

Young people seem to have more exciting lives in fiction than adults do.

Isn't that odd?

:)

Book Review, The Conclusion

I first read this book before I had TheLittleBear.

When I read it, I was hurt that this guy who had a wife and children

would leave them to head into the forrest.

Being that I was struggling with trying to conceive, 

it made me too upset to finish the book. 

When I revisited this book, it was after TheLittleBear came into my life.

At first I was still upset that he would leave his family.

But then I got it. 

Even though he is a spouse and a parent. He is still a person.

He wasn't defined by these roles, or any titles.

He had a calling and he respected it, so he headed into the forest.

Even though its been weeks since I've finished this book, 

I still think about the lesson learned and the adventures had.

Doppler is one I'd definitely recommend.

Book Review, The Trilogy

I'm an extremely intelligent person. 

I received the highest mark on most of my accounting exams.

My highschool friends would call me a nerd...

But I am not smart enough to read Jeffrey Eugenies!

I loved the narrative, but the references to other reading he makes in this book

made it hard for me to stay within the story.

I found myself wondering what I was missing, having not ready everything 

his characters have read.

If you are way smarter than I,

this book is your friend :)

Book Review, The Sequel

I'm posting these reviews in the order that my Instagram says I've read them in ;)

I really love Rainbow Rowell. 

I think you'll really have to love her in order to get through this book.

I found that there were a lot of boring parts because the main characters

don't interact on a personal level very much. 

In the end, 

it was worth the read. 

I don't think this is a book I would recommend though...

Maybe pick this up if you're really hungry for a Rowell fix.

If you have a stack of other books that peak your interest, 

maybe don't pick this on up...

Book Review, The Beginning

Loved it, Loved it, Loved it!!!!

I find Mindy Kaling hilarious and very insightful.

I love that she doesn't have to conform to the "perfect woman" stereotype.

She is who she is and it's so refreshing.

I would highly recommend this light read.

It's fully of funny anecdotes and personal insight.
