I have been so tired the past few days. I'm not talking regular tired. I am talking, epically tired.
It's in part to a few things. I got back from Utah vacation on 8/18, had an interview and drug test in the morning of 8/19, a family dinner that evening, a suprise party in the eve, work the next day in the morning, a concert to attend in the eve, a closing shift at work the next day, and an opening shift today.

I need rest.

Also, I realized today that our lease is almost up. Where shall we move in October?

Book Reviews....

It's definitely been a while since I've blogged on here. I've started a new photo blog on Tumblr, and I must admit that I love it. You can find it here . It's mainly posts about love, but also posts I find aesthetically pleasing and/or awesome.

I've also since decided that I am going to start writing reviews on here. I read so many, many, many books all of the time (my habit is probably equivalent to that of a chain smoker) that I decided I should write about the books I am reading.

I promise I will post later on what I am reading now. It's a really awesome book by Laurie Faria Stolarz.

Winning books...from Maggie Stiefvater

So, one of my favorite authors Maggie Stiefvater, is having a contest where people can win a stack of her books. I am so excited! It is located here: http://maggiestiefvater.blogspot.com/2011/02/spring-cleaning-book-contest.html#idc-container

I entered...now I just hope I can win!

How could I possibly know that?

Today at work, was no better than any other day...except for one little gem of a transaction. Here is how the story unfolds.

Customer who I have never seen before in my life holding up a memory card: "Excuse me, is this the memory card that I almost bought on Friday?"

Me: How could I possibly know that?

Customer (getting angry): A simple "no" would have sufficed.

Me: ...

Customer (getting red in the face): ...

Me: Okay then. No.

In other news, here is a picture of my friend Trousie looking epic.

Being that I only have 30 minutes left of Thanksgiving and I've had a marvelous day, I figured that I would try and list at least 10 things I am thankful for. Here are the things that are at the top of my list.

Thanksgiving!

Today was great.

I pulled myself out of bed first thing and headed over to Christina's house. There, I helped her prepare breakfast for her family. We made pancakes in animal shapes (that turned out to be blobs) as well as bacon and eggs.

Then, at around 1:35 (because I'm always late) I arrived at my Dad's house. There, my Aunt Kristi, who is an amazing cook, had prepared a Thanksgiving feast of one giant turkey, two types of stuffing, two types of gravy, mashed potatoes, green beans, and much more.

And just when I was super full and didn't think that live could get any better, I saw the dessert table that was complete with a pecan pie, a pumpkin pie, and a cherry pie.

I am thankful for family, for friends, and for my dinner feast.
