Sorry not Sorry

So, obviously I haven't done so well with posting in the past week.  That's just because this little thing called life got in the way.  I really love having a life, and I need to figure out how to balance it and blogging.  Because at the moment it's not really working out.

I just had a terribly busy week at work last week, and all weekend I had a KILLER headache but now that I'm back let me catch you up on my life.

- I think I have my paying for grad school figured out. (as of tonight.)
- Work has finally slowed down again.  Month end is always terrible.
- Daddy bought me a new 32 inch TV, but it has to go back because the DVD player doesn't work.
- I'm going back to the beach again this weekend.  The rest of my family is staying all week.  I have to come back and work.
- I'm trying to read a lot, because I just love it.  As of last week, I was 6 books behind my schedule on Goodreads.  Now I'm only 1.  Whoop Whoop!
- I'm working on this eating healthy thing, and trying to make myself not eat out every day.  We only eat out on Friday's now.  I'm trying to decide if paying for WeightWatchers every month will be helpful.  I think it's harder to try to eat healthy when you live in a house with 4 people who don't.  But, I think most of my problem is at work.

I think that's just about everything I've been through in the past week in a nutshell.

The Big, Not-So-Small, Curvy Girls, BBW Romance, Dating Agency Review

Disclaimer: I received a copy of this book for review purposes only.



"Becky Holgate's lost her focus. It’s complicated...she didn’t mean to fall in love with another woman’s guy. How could she be a matchmaker for other people if all she could think about was her own heart? Determined to ignore her growing infatuation, she set her sites on building her career. Only Reed Amwell was making it hard to concentrate; every encounter left her breathless.

Reed didn’t mean to fall for the curvy girl, but she was carefree, silly, and fresh. Her soft curves and playful heart had him questioning his current relationship. Could he be with the wrong girl? He needed to figure it out fast, because his wedding day was getting closer by the minute. 

With a laugh-out-loud best friend, an insane cat, and a business to run, Becky Holgate didn’t have time for guys like Reed Amwell...until time was running out."

 I thought that this book was hilarious!!! And, it was a super easy read. I had never read anything by Ava Catori, but I am definitely a fan now. The only thing I didn't like about it was the ending. It was a wonderful love story, but it seemed like just when it finally started it immediately ended. But, that's usually how most romance novels go, so I'm not complaining too much. I just felt like it had a lot of detail in the beginning, and towards the end, it wasn't near as detailed. But, overall I liked the book and I enjoyed it a lot.

Stars: 3/5

S'mores TastyKake Review

Disclaimer: I received this product from Influenster for review purposes only.  All opinions are entirely my own.


In my Influenster VoxBox, I received this S'mores flavored TastyKake.  I wanted to eat it immediately, but it was 11:00 at night when I took this picture, and I try not to eat that late at night, so I didn't.  

So, I took it to work and ate it then.  Now, I'm a big Debbie Cake girl, and I love me some chocolate.  So, I had high hopes for this dessert.  And, it kind of fell short of my hopes.  I didn't even make it through half of it.  I just couldn't do it.  It was more of a "cake" and I like my smores to be crunchy I guess.  And, I really have a huge aversion to whipped cream and the cream in this reminded me of that same texture.  But, I have to say it wasn't awful.

So I give it 3/5 stars.  I would eat it if I was starving, but it's never going to be my first choice.
