Happy Monday!

Good morning!

I am running behind this morning, so I am typing this while my husband is driving me to work this morning! Thank you, Love!!

I started the book, The Lost Symbol, and so far. It has been one of those books that I just don’t want to put down!!! I told Jason this morning that this is a book to call in sick for so that I can just spend my time reading all day!!! LOL!! However, I am being responsible and getting my booty to work this morning!!! 😉

I didn’t sleep well last night. I just kept waking up tossing and turning all night!! Not helpful! I will have to get myself to bed earlier tonight!!!

Almost to the office now, and I will post a longer posting tonight, so…

Have a FABULOUS day! 😉

Monday Night Book Night!

Tonight is book review night, and the book that I chose to review is called, Nesting it’s a Chick Thing. This book is such a fun read, and I highly recommend it anyone who wants to laugh, cry, and just learn more about living a FABULOUS life! Trust me on this, pick this book up!! It is like reading a creatively chic blog in paperback!!! FUN! FUN! FUN!!!

But why listen to me? Here is an editorial review from Publishers Weekly:

While Beanland and Terry do care about having a nice home, throwing fantastic parties and whipping up fabulous dinners, they have better things to do than polish the silver. The coauthors of It’s a Chick Thing: Celebrating the Wild Side of Women’s Friendships throw Martha Stewart-esque caution to the wind in this lifestyle guide with attitude, irreverently addressing the “four pillars of nesting”: decorating, entertaining, cooking and gardening. In each section, they give a basic overview of how to approach the task at hand, and then delve into the nitty-gritty, with sidebars, lists, pull-out quotes from celebrities and quirky clip art, all with a can-do, girl power mind-set, evident in the inclusion of such lines as “I am a marvelous housekeeper. Every time I leave a man, I keep his house” (from Zsa Zsa Gabor). Among other tidbits, readers will find cocktail recipes, flea market shopping tips, party invitation ideas, suggestions for creating a garden that suits their personality and reasons to give Martha some credit (“the chick can carve a pumpkin 200 ways and make 65 recipes from the seeds alone!”).
