The day is flying today, but I can't stay awake. I've had three cups of coffee I might add. Why am I so tired? Honestly couldn't tell ya. I need to have one night where I go to bed early and sleep in late. Maybe will do that this weekend. Or maybe it's the weather, it's gloomy out right now.
You all should be getting a Vampires Diary Blog in a couple days. I want to make sure I have some time to write it, I'm going to write about each book.

I might be the only one, but has anyone else watched the new tv show, 10 Thing s I Hate About You on ABCfamily??
I actually like it. I know it's not the movie and nothing will ever will be as good as the movie but the show is cute in it's own way. There are a couple characters I could do without but I love seeing Kat and Patrick together.
I hope this show can last.

I don't know why, but it's taking me forever to finish the last Vampire Diaries book. It's not bad, I do love it. I think I just have too much stuff going on right now. That should end on Wednesday night after my last class.
You know what I love, when you wake up every hour. Why I did? I have no clue. It's not like I have anything on my mind. Okay, maybe one thing. But not anything I should lose sleep on.
Well, I guess while it's slow, I should do some homework, even though I'm not yet awake. We have to do a query or synopsis. She would also like us to rewrite a point of view. We don't have to do the point of view. But I think it would good practice. So we shall see.

So the writing class is almost over. Next week is the last week, so we have two classes left. It was a short class, but I have enjoyed it despite the nerves. Today's presenting was so bad. I only had to read a paragraph. I'm sure for Monday, I'll be freaking out. We have to do a back story scene. Time to get my brain in gear.
I don't know if I should write this. In fear that a certain someone might read it. I don't even think he knows about this blog. As far as I know he only knows of my profile on myspace. But the guy who got away is single again. At least from what I hear. That's what people are telling me. He has yet to tell me he's single. Why he hasn't, I don't know. We really don't get to talk much since he does third shift. I keep wondering though, do I ask him if he wants to hang out? What if I fall for him again? Sure he is single, but do I want to get my heart broken again. If he got away the first time, could he do it a second time? I have been going back and forth wondering if I should call him. We did meet up last month for dinner. My other friend was suppose to be there, but she cancelled the last minute. I was thinking about calling that friend to see what her schedule was like next week. I thought it would be cool to have a dinner in honor of the guy who got away. He will be thirty next week. So it would be for his birthday. I'm just not sure if I want to do it alone.
If you are reading this and you know who you are, please throw some hints of any kind my way.
I did tell my friend, I would call him possibly by Thursday. Tomorrow is Thursday, will keep you posted.
Okay, it's almost midnight. I really should get into bed. The lack of sleep will be kicking in soon. At least tomorrow at work we are doing our hot dog sale for our sunshine team that I'm on, so I get to be off the phone for an hour and a half, that should keep me awake for awhile.

Heaping Spoonfuls
SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!!
So I did finish Heaping Spoonful by Shauna Glenn and I loved it. I was kinda sad to see it end. I'm a fan of Glenn's blog, so I was definitely looking forward to the book.
The story is about Claire who is trying to raise her children and pretty much have a life again after her husband Bryan dies. I've never been through what the character has, but your heart goes out to her. You want to see her win in the end.
I know Claire was in love with Henry, but I kept waiting for her to find someone else. Henry did remind me of a guy who shall remain nameless. I never saw the guy get married, but the situation was similar in some ways. Now if I only I had a Ben, hehe.
I loved seeing her connection with her family. I almost got a little teary eyed when her mom passed away. I was glad her dad moved on and Claire was finally able to move on from Bryan.
I couldn't help but love her sister Lucy. Don't we all have a friend or sibling like her? They drive you nuts, but you love them.
I definitely recommend this book for everyone.

I know I siad I would write my thoughts on Heaping Spoonful, but didn't get around to it yesterday. I got into Vampire Diaries. I will write about that one after I finish all of them. I'm starting Dark Reunion right now. I'm going to go ahead and read the last one after Dark Reunion instead of reading a book in between like I normally do with a book series. I wish there were more hours in the day. I have bought so many books, but so little time lately. You will be getting my thoughts on books that came out during the summer in the winter probably, hehe.
I haven't watched Torchwood yet. I know I'm insane. I'm going to do a Torchwood Sunday. I want to sit through all of them and just watch them.
That's another thing, I need to catch up on a couple shows like True Blood. Maybe this weekend will be catch up on DVR weekend. I love lazy weekends.

So I did my opening scene for class last night. I just have to work on a couple things but otherwise I survived. I have to keep telling myself that I won't see these people probably ever again. They are nice people, but it's one of those if you embarrass yourself, no worries. For tomorrow, we have to do a dialogue. Hopefully it won't be too bad.
I'm almost done with Heaping Spoonful by Shauna Glenn. Will hopefully have a review later today.

So I survived.
Class starts and I have the thought in my head, "What if this sucks." She talks for a little, just reviewing what we discussed on Monday. Than it happens. Idiot me sits on the end in the front row and I get called on first. So I give my plot idea. Yea! The instructor likes it. So it wasn't as bad as I thought. Next week though, we have to write out an opening scene for our story. I know the class will get to read it since we have to make enough copies for everyone. I know I can write one, but there are already a few questions going through my head. Will it be too short? Maybe too long? Am I keeping the reader interested? What will these girls think? I might have to post it online and see what you all think. But we shall see about that.
I'm almost done with The Awakening for Vampire Diaries and I hate to say this, but it's keeping me hooked more than Twilight did. Still love the Twilight series but this book is getting good. I just want to keep reading but things keep getting in the way. Will definitely though have The Awakening done tonight. I hope.
My sister and nephews should be here around six. The flight gets in at six, so I'm guessing she will be arriving at the house around sevenish. My parents will be picking her up. I offered to dogsit the dogs, ha-ha. Just going to enjoy some peace and quiet before the kids come. My nephews are 2 and I wanna say my other nephew is 10 months??

As I get closer to my writing class that's at six, I'm getting nervous. I did my plot outliine and character outline, but if I have to present this to the class; I'm going to freak out. I'm not a public speaker. I didn't mind doing papers and things like that, but when I had to get in front of the class, I would get way too nervous. Heck, I still do that at work when I have to get in front of a group of people.
Vampire Diaries is actually pretty good. I still kind of like Twilight better. But I'm not done with the first book yet for Diaries.
I'm getting excited to see Harry Potter, but I'm hoping by Sunday or Monday the crowd will die down than I will go see it. Not sure if I can wait that long though.
Okay, will post later. I'll let you know if I survived the class. :)

Today is definitely going to be a long day for me. I already can't keep my eyes open. After work, it's pointless for me to go home since class starts at six. I figure on just going to Barnes and Nobles to get the second and third book for the Vampire Diaries. I won't get home until after eight tonight. Unfortunately I can't fall asleep as soon as I get home. I need to do a couple chores. Tomorrow though before my sister gets in from Germany, I plan on taking a nap. Is it bad to plan a nap the day before you do it?
I did finish watching Eli Stone. Why do all the good shows never last long? I loved this show. I thought it had a nice finale ending.
Well I guess this is it for now. Time to read some other blogs and wait for my first phone call of the day.

I have to get my mind back in gear. The writing class is going to be fun I think. The problem? Right now my brain doesn't want to function. Forgot what it's like to have deadlines. Our first homework assignment for Wednesday is to have a plot, characters, and a title. The instructor gave us three sentences. We have to choose one and do a plot around it. I think I have an idea. The question remains though, will it suck?? He-he.

Harper's Island
READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!
SPOILERS AHEAD FOR HARPER'S ISLAND!!!!!
So I watched the series finale of Harper's Island. The last two episodes I was definitely on the edge of my seat. Actually I was on the edge with every episode, but since it was the last two. I kept waiting for the killer to be revealed.
So the second to last episode we know there is a second guy involved. You know that has to be the case anyways because, why reveal Wakefield as the killer before the show is over? The question that remains is if it is Jimmy.
I have to admit for awhile I thought maybe it was Jimmy. But that would be too easy. Maybe I've seen too many shows where they say oh it's this person, but they turn around and it's not. So as it started to hit me, the show was making you think it was Jimmy, I knew it had to be someone else.
Again maybe it's too many movies or TV shows I've seen, but I started to wonder if maybe it was someone we had seen in earlier episodes, that we think is dead or heard about. Remember we find out Abby has a brother. So will this brother come out of nowhere?
I'm waiting for it to be revealed and all of a sudden Henry says it's him. Here is me going, "shut up!"
Than to see Trish in her wedding gown being killed. That was just so sad.
Than Sully is actually being a nice guy and tells Madison and Shea to take the boat. Of course Sully stays behind and Henry kills him later.
Next Abby and Jimmy find Henry and just when Abby thinks everything will be okay, Henry reveals himself. By this point you also know that Abby and Henry are half brother and sister.
Which is kind of gross when Henry is telling her he loves her.
Next we think Madison and Shea are the only survivors. Which you know can't be the case, since the show isn't over yet. We find Abby in a house that Henry is keeping her in. We also find out Jimmy is alive, but being held hostage.
Henry is going to let Jimmy live and take the blame, but Abby has to say good-bye first. Thought that was sweet when she says I love you to Jimmy. Henry gets mad of course. Here is my question. Maybe I missed this, but he had a key to the cuffs. I'm assuming when Abby kissed him, she gave it to him that way. But where did she get the key? Did I miss something?
Jimmy gets loose and just when you think Henry is going to kill Abby, Jimmy comes in the picture. Next you think, this is it; Jimmy is going to get it. Nope. Abby kills Henry finally and of course we have the happy ending. Jimmy and Abby on a boat being rescued and they kiss.
Overall I thought it was a good show. I looked forward to it every week. Of course they really can't do a second season unless Henry comes back alive or he has a son who wants revenge. Okay again, I've seen too many movies or TV.
I hope we can get more shows like this. I miss shows were you look forward to the next episode. Bring more supsense and less reality TV. I'm sure many people still love the reality programming, but there is only a couple I like. Otherwise I swear it's gone overboard.

Why did I go to bed at 2am last night knowing I had to get up for church? I'm so going to need a nap when I get home. I'm drinking coffee but one cup is not going to cut it. I am definitely going to be going for the coffee line after church. Hope I can pay attention. Maybe someone could take notes for me?
I'm going to write about Harper's Island later. I was on the edge of my seat all night as I watched it.

I am so ready to fall asleep here at work. It's slow and I'm really sleepy. I think part of it is the weather. It's gloomy out. Actually the storm just started. But since it's slow at work, I've done some writing and read a little and I'm still falling asleep.
I'm wondering if my love for Harry Potter is gone. I use to love reading the books. No matter how many times I read the books, I couldn't put them down. As I read Half Blood Prince, I'm finding I'm not into it as much as I would have been. There are other books I bought that I keep thinking about.
I still have yet to watch the new Warehouse 13 show. I'm behind on my DVR. I'm just now catching up on Eli Stone from last Saturday. Warehouse is next. I would have watched it last night but I met a friend up for coffee.
My sister and her family will be here Thursday. Going to have to get use to having kids in the house again. As far as I know she will be here for a month. But I thought I heard my mom say two months. It's going to be a very crowded house, that' s all I know.
My next door neighbors got a cat. Which is not a problem. I like cats. But when the cat starts coming into my garden, porch, that's where I draw the line. I swear this cat acts like my house is their house. My old neighbor's cat was never that bad.
Hope everyone is having a good weekend.

Happy Friday everyone! I wish it was my Friday though. That's okay, it will be tomorrow. The week definitely went fast.
Is it bad if I keep going back and changing stuff for my novel? I find I keep doing that. I think oooh, I should put that in the first chapter. I swear this book will be done before I turn 30. Here is hoping.
I finished reading Club Dead which is part of the Sookie Stackhouse series. I keep finding myself loving Eric more and more. Watching Bill and Sookie together on the show is just going to depress me. I want to see more interaction with her and Eric. Of course I still love the show.
This was really just a short blog. I need to get back into writing daily. I will do my best.
It might be Friday, but I have to stop looking at the clock on my phone here at work. I've been here twenty minutes and I keep looking at it along with the clock on the computer. Not good at all.

I didn't know the guy the who passed away at work, but from what I hear; he's seems like a nice guy. I wish I could have gotten to know him. His cubicle was next to my friend's so I was always visiting. Plus, his cubicle was in the next section after my section. Well my prayers are with him and his family. They emptied his cubicle already, but they put flowers on his desk. No word on what he passed away from. We just know it was in his sleep. I want to say he was in his thirties. Again, may he rest in peace.
Friday, July 3, 2009
Morning all! Hope everyone is enjoying their Friday off. If you don't have off today, just think it will fly by before you know it. The only thing that sucks is I have to work on Saturday. I'm hoping it will be dead enough that I can e-time. But that's up in the air. The other person who works in my department on Saturdays is on vacation, so I might get stuck at work all day. We shall see. I'm all about being lazy today. Anyone with me on this?
