Conjuring up the past, crazy hair days & waiting on mac

So here I am again - SMM (aka Single Mom Mode) for the next 2 weeks.  No big deal, it's part of the hubs job.  A storm hits, he gets a call, he goes, we adjust.  This week, we've combined VBS and swim lessons which means by 7pm we're all in zombie mode.  

We did have some fun getting ready for VBS this morning because it was "Crazy Hair Day!" & my youngest happens to be blessed with a head full of "totally cool hair".  My youngest also happens to be a BOY and the extent of my playtime with said hair is limited to running my fingers through it - when - he bestows the privilege upon me.  I've tried telling him that in a few years (he's still in the single digits) the girls are going to be tripping over themselves to run their fingers through it.  He just looks at me. 

Here's the result...



I've been awaiting the arrival of mac, as in macbook - my new computer which I thought was supposed to be here today b/c the hubs told it would be & being the good, obedient wife that I am (why are you laughing?) I believed him.  Sadly, he was confused about today's date...mac isn't coming until tomorrow.  This isn't the first time I've been stood up. Won't be the last either...


I DID come home to my very own copy of "Divergent" by Veronica Roth!  (I can stop hoarding the library's copy now.)  If you haven't read it read I would ask "WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!  Just kidding...maybe.  It's by far, my FAVORITE book of 2011, and I've read A LOT.  I'd say you could borrow mine but I won't. I just got it (she says in a whiney voice).  Besides, I'm more Dauntless then Abnigation and I don't share well.  If you'd read the book, you'd get that reference.


Speaking of books and libraries...I swung by mine today and picked up "Ten Things We Did (and probably shouldn't have) by Sarah Mylnowski and was literally in tears (from laughing) by page 3!  She conjured up so many memories from my past and high school years (not that I'm necessarily proud of all of them but still) I am loving this book so far!  Review to come...

Welcome to Jenuine Cupcakes, this is my stop on the Gemina blog tour!

Knopf Books for Young Reader Amazon | B&N | Listening Library | Kobo | Book Depository | Google Play | Goodreads  The highly anticipated sequel to the instant New York Times bestseller that critics are calling “out-of-this-world awesome.”  Moving to a space station at the edge of the galaxy was always going to be the death of Hanna’s social life.
