The Secret Daughter: What an amazing read! I would recommend this to anyone! I dont want to spoil the book at all so I am not going to even give a summary. Just make sure you read this fantastic book. The only unfortunate thing is that the author didn't write any other books so i will just have to be happy with this one and only this one! :( Could not put it down!

On The Island: A very sexy book, very easy and quick to read, and I couldn't put it down! Very excited for the authors next book to come out, (comes out Sept 17th of this year,) im putting it on my list right now! Definitely a good read for laying on the beach in the summer.

I am currently in the middle of the Jillian Michaels: Master Your Metabolism, and im liking it so far! And im super excited because i found a great deal on the wheat belly books and the Seriously im kidding book and they came in the mail today!!!!! So I am going book crazy!

On another note, I have just booked camping for Taylor and I during our holidays in July and i am super excited for that! We are going for 5 nights!!!!!! And we are also working on planning a camping trip for two nights in August with Eliesh, Jon, Delc, Zach, and Colin! Whoo!!!

Thats all for now, have a wonderful day!

Burnt but Happy

Hey Everyone,

Hope you are having a wonderful May 24th long weekend!  I had a great time, and i will tell you all about it!!!! On Friday i worked until 1:15am and then Taylor picked me up from work and then we went to a sports bar with some co-workers. Then we came home and went to bed. Then Saturday we got up and had some coffee and relaxed and then went out for lunch with my great Aunt Bessie and great Uncle Frank! We went to Coras and it was very delicious! Then we went to a surplus store with them and i bought a pot to plant my herbs in and a hose because we didnt have one yet! Then we called my parents, my grandparents and my aunts and uncles and asked them to come over for dinner! Then we went grocery shopping and got the things we needed for a bbq! Then around 6:30pm everyone came over and we made hamburgers, veggie skewers, sweet potatoes and greek pasta salad! YUM! And then we all hung out and mom helped me plant my herbs. Then they all left and taylor and i stayed up playing little big planet two which was fun and then we went to bed. On Sunday we woke up kinda late (like 11:00am) and i made waffles with bananas, m&ms and whipped cream on top! Not healthy i know but still yummy! They were very sweet but super delicious! And then we got

ready to go and we headed to visit Taylors dad. We spent the afternoon with them and helped them put up their pool and relaxed and then went to my parents around 7:30pm for dessert! It was rhubarb custard pie, my moms specialty and very yum! Then Delc and Zach met us at my parents and we chatted for a bit and then headed to meet Colin and Delaney for fireworks! After fireworks we went to Colins and chatted with his parents and then we went downstairs and watched Jurassic Park and then Delc and Zach and Delaney left and Colin, Taylor and I fell asleep!
Then Monday (today) Colin, Taylor and I woke up and went to the store to buy eggs.  Then Colins mom made us breaky and it was yummy and then we went outside for a bit and then we went to the parade! It was so nice outside!
 At the parade we sat with my whole family and then when the parade was over Taylor and Colin and I went back to Colins and they swam and i chatted with Colins family and sat with my feet in the pool! Then Colins mom trimmed my hair because it needed a trim, and it looked very good, and then Taylor and I had to leave. We headed to my grandparents house for dinner and they made hamburgers and it was yummy! (so much good food this weekend!!!) And then everyone had to leave because they had other things to do and Taylor and I stayed and talked with Grandma and Grandpa for a while which was nice! Then Taylor and i came home and i watered my herbs and my other plants and now Taylor is watching the hockey game and i am right here, telling you about my weekend! And the best part? I dont have to work until 5:45 tomorrow night!!! so its like I have another day of holidays! Anyway i have a kinda bad sunburn on my nose and my shoulders and my chest but i think that will be okay if i can find the aloe vera. Also now my kitten, Olive is cuddling with me which helps! Thats all for now.... I am posting some pics of this weekend!

Happy Mothers Day

Hey Loves!
Hope you are having a lovely day! I am having a very productive day!!!! I will tell you everything I have done today! I was up at the crack of 5:45am and off to work by 6:00am. Work started at 6:50am and I finished work at 10:50am! Then I went and picked up something for my brother and then i went to the market and bought apples, zucchini, peppers, and onions. Then I came home and had lunch, then I downloaded some new country songs "Highway Don't Care," By Tim McGraw, Taylor Swift and Keith Urban, and the new Band Perry Album! Then I loaded all the songs on my iphone and started cleaning the house! Then I cleaned the kitties litter and then I swept some stuff and then I went outside and cut the lawn and then I came inside and sat down because I did way too much today!
Tonight I think the plan is to make a quick dinner and then watch the movie "Summer Rental," an excellent John Candy movie that I would highly recommend if you can find it! Its funny!
Last night Taylor and i went on a date to East Side Mario's and i had my first sangria and let me tell you, it was delicious. We had a very nice time, but Taylor was being complainy about me kicking him in the shins under the table, which i though was unnecessary... They are love kicks!  There were couples there eating dinner before prom and all the ladies looked like princesses and i realized that i want to dress up like that soon, but i guess the next time i will get to will be out wedding... merr... oh ya, and we are not engaged yet in case you are wondering because I mentioned a wedding lol.
I was told that my mom and brother are supposed to be coming over soon but i don't know if they are going to or not, because they do not have a cell phone so there is no way to find out.
Oh my gosh i just made the most delicious margarita!  I will tell you how to make it now!
Into a bullet blender put: two shots birthday cake vodka, 1 shot amaretto, pineapple juice and frozen strawberries, melon, pineapple, grapes, cherries, and pretty much any frozen fruit and blend and enjoy!!!! YUM!!!

I dont really have much else to say, so tata and have a wonderful weekend and Happy Mothers Day to all the fantastic moms out there, but mostly to my mom, who is the very best in the world. She is always there for me, would do anything for me, and has been the best mom every second since i was born. I love you very very much mummy.

Love Always
