i'm not your slave.

I apologize for the lack of posts. Nevertheless, here I am. So...biggest news of the week has been that I finally reading all 7 of Harry Potter's marvelous books. Let me just tell you how much I absolutely adore them all. I am kicking myself over and over for not having read them before but I will say that I am almost glad I waited till now to read them because I cannot wait for the Deathly Hallows part II to come out! After the epilogue I had no idea what to do with myself. I had always just gone to Barnes and Noble or Blackbear Books(support your local bookstores, please) to buy the next one after I had finished a book...now what the hell?! I tutored two of my kids today and I decided to ask them what I should read next. I have come up with quite a listof books to read. Please tell me if I should add one of your favorites!

New Books To Read:

• The Giver
• Water for Elephants
• Peter and the Starcatchers
• A Home on the Field
• Eat, Pray, Love
• GRE study books...hehe

Books To Reread:

• Twilight
• The Art of Possibility
• To Kill a Mockingbird
• Ramona Books

Meanwhile, as I anxiously await my next book to crack open, Lilly and I have been reading

Sideway Stories from Wayside School. This book is probably my all time favorite and still makes me cry from laughing so much. Today we started the second part of the series Sideway School is Falling Down and it is so much fun. Anyway, enough talk about reading.

Here's a secret about me. I wait for no other week more anxiously than I do this week. It's the beginning of Lent tomorrow!!! I don't know what it is about the lenten season that makes me so happy but I cannot wait. I have decided...drumroll please...to give up buying anything for myself, going out to eat and facebook for lent. I am very happy about my decision thanks to some peptalks I got from Kathryn yesterday. I always start off this week with a bang so I did just that. I helped my poor Christine through the torment of getting her wisdom teeth out, I ra

n my fastest 5K, and I went on a shopping spree with Kathryn!!! I also worked with Chris and got Yoforia. What a perfect day. Kathryn is finally home for Spring Break so we decided to go out to NEWKs, Borders, Old Navy, Target, Ulta and to look at some new TOMS. It was so so so much fun. However, today she left for NY. That bitch. I was actually not too upset because guess what she did? That dumb girl wound up facebook messaging me and sending me pictures while on her flight. What a surprise!!!

Isn't this amazing?!

So...tomorrow I will go to mass and get some awesome ash smeared on my forehead. As a sidenote: don't make fun of all the Catholics with ash on their foreheads tomorrow, please!

40 days and 40 nights.
