word to the wise

This is a warning to anyone who may have Verizon phone service and goes to the gateway store for help/problems...


If a lady named Deborah comes to help you RUNNNNNNN! She knows as much as my three year old nephew does about phones.


yup thats my only advice... if i say anything more you might think I'm awful. Please please please just take this little piece of advice, and don't ever forget it! p.s. did I mention we were there for an hour, and not one thing was accomplished... well other than the fact I taught her what a cell phone actually is, and how to use it?!




happy, or not so happy monday!

{captured}

capture-to gain control of or exert influence over.
at the moment these two(soon to be three-comes out august 24th) books have taken me prisoner.
my life revolves around them.
in my dreams... yup, every night I get to take part in the Hunger Games.
mind you I am an pretty dang good too...
cool huh? bet you're jealous.
throughout the day I catch myself saying..."wonder what Katniss or Peeta would do..."
Ridiculous, I know.
but I am proud to say I couldn't care less.
One could say I'm obsessed.
Finished the first two books in under three days. For you book readers, I know you are thinking thats pathetic... but for me, a slow reader, who also works 7-8 hour days, and usually has a bedtime of 10:00. I think it's one of my greatest accomplishments.

READ them is all I have to say.
but... be prepared to be captured.


August 24th could not come SLOWER!
(just a little fyi... I do not love many books. I only, and I mean only read mushy love stories, but these... these I cannot help but LOVE)
