books!

I have finished the first three in the four part Twilight series. Breaking Dawn is really good so far. I also read the Curious Case of Benjamin Button, which is really only like thirty pages, but I think that still counts as a book. So I'm on book number six for the year. I'm already beating my goal of one book per month.

In case you're curious, so far I've read:
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K. Rowling
Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse all by Stephenie Meyer
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button by F. Scott Fitzgerald

currently reading:
Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer

planning to read next:
Looking for Alaska by John Green

I've also come to a decision about my schooling. For the past year or so I've been very uncertain about what I want to do with my life. Well, I've decided to study English literature while obtaining my teaching certification for grades 7-12. I feel really good about this decision. Now I just need to figure out which school to transfer to. I'm leaning toward either Capital or Otterbein. Next quarter at Columbus State I'm taking some classes that I failed when I first started college way back in the day so that I can raise my GPA. Hopefully that plus all the work I've been putting in recently will help me to get into a good school. I've been sure for a very long time that I want to be a teacher; I just haven't decided until recently that I want to be a middle/high school English teacher.

Two books down, many more to go. After reading the last Harry Potter it was recommended to me to read the Twilight series. I finished the first one and am now reading New Moon. They are great books, cheesy, but really entertaining. I also joined www.dailylit.com and am reading Pride and Prejudice while I'm at work, because typically I have nothing but time to kill at work.

HAPPY 2009!!! I'm only 21 days late. oh well.

My only goal I set for myself this year is to read at least one book each month. I'm going to try to read more than that, but that's the goal. I'm also going to cut out a lot of tv watching. It's such a time suck, and I have lots of other things I want to do. So yeah.

First book of 2009:
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
I don't know why I've been putting off reading this. I'm about halfway through it and it's awesome, just like I thought it would be. Next book will be An Abundance of Katherines by John Green. Woot for John Green and his awesomeness. God I love young adult fiction.

I recently purchased this book












if you like pie and you like making pie this book is all you will ever need. I've been reading it before bed every night.

I am so obsessed with the idea of this laptop lunch box. I cant get it out of my brain. I must have one.


I finally made some curtains for my craft room. They are yellow and adorable. I will post pictures soon.

I've decided that since I am in school and only working part time, shouldn't my part time job be enjoyable? I think so. Working at the bank is nice because I get lots of down time to surf the internet.. but I think after two years I've surfed as much web for 5 hours a day as I can. ha. It's just not a fun job. I applied for a position at the Container Store, so hopefully that works out. I was speaking with an employee there and she was telling me about the ohsoglorious discount they get.... guh. I hope I get it. I will be an organizational monster. Watch out.

I carved the owl and Anthony carved the other one. His pumpkins are always "geek themed" and he never follows a pattern. So creative. I always use a pattern because I don't want to mess it up. We have so much fun doing this every year.
