I went downstairs to grab a Cherry Pepsi (I only have one other one left, nooo) and my dad blurted out, "what will happen when you go to Florida?" and I responded, "what do you mean?" and he said "can you take care of yourself?" I swear, my parents must think I'm stupid or something. I'm fully capable of taking care of myself. Besides the fact that I'm 25; I'm capable of paying my own bills, buying my own groceries, doing laundry, cleaning, etc etc. And so my dad goes to say, "what if you get sick. You know the weather over there is different from here." *insert lame face*. I'm not going to give up my dream job because the weather in Florida is different than the weather in California. Are you kidding me? I wonder how he'd feel if I said I'm thinking of moving to New York because I want snow! That's always my dad's defense. What if you get sick. What if I do? No one takes care of me when I'm sick anyway! So what does it really matter? Besides that, I hardly ever get sick (don't listen to your parents, the flu shot does *not* help) so I'm good, if you ask me.
I know I'm horrible at updating. I'm taking Psych for the 3rd time (and thankfully I'm finally passing this damn class) and as always, this class kicks my ass. One more week and I'll have five weeks left of school and I'll officially be on break. I. Am. So. Excited!
Besides that, I've decided to participate in NaNoWriMo this year, and so far I'm at a little over 5k words. I'm hoping to get at least 2k more done today, 4k if I'm feeling lucky. It's a story I've been meaning to tell, but I'm having the hardest time telling it. Well, telling it and making it interesting anyway.
Husband started going to the gym everyday again. He got his 3 months free from the 24 Hour Fitness settlement thing. His body always bounces back fast. It's only been 2 weeks and his abs are already coming back. I'm jealous. But he worked hard to get it there in the first place, years ago. So I guess I can't be that jealous.
Book blogging is also taking a lot of my time. I requested a ton of titles today that I probably shouldn't had done. I have to get a few read this week too; Compound, Simply From Scratch,Firelight or Echoes and Dating Mr. December. We met Suzanne Collins yesterday at Kepler's (best indie book store EVER) and she signed all 3 of my Hunger Games books and I bought an extra Mockingjay. Not sure what to do with that one yet. Got tons of swag too :D. Also made a new friend, Nancy. She was reading Wither while we waited. Oh and guess who's getting a copy of Wither! Me! Finally, yay! I'm still waiting on word for Across The Universe. Oh and I totally didn't know that Heidi, the author of Sea was sitting next to me the whole time! Husband spotted her when I looked her up today (she tweeted about being there, I tweeted her saying I missed her and husband pointed out that I was sitting next to her *facepalm*) and man, I'm such a doof.
Also, it was Boq's first birthday on Tuesday! My mashmallow is now a year old (and he's never been to the vet)!
Well, I better get going on my blog posts and such!
oh, this post made me laugh. I totally know how this feels! Silly parents!
How did you end up going with NaNo? I know that enforced writing deadlines are just not me - at the moment, it's FUN and AWESOME and an escape from my job, and I totally don't want to ruin that :)
I haven't read any of the books on your list but they all sound good!
