  1. Well done, Virginia!! Seems like the Spring Cleaning Bug has bitten you, too. I've been on a mission to clean out my apartment of all the little cluttery things I don't need and have been separating them into "sell" and "total crap" piles. I'm hoping I can get a nice chunk for the sell pile and have a charity come pick up the other one next week. The next job is to clean out the car, which I hate with a passion.
  2. Well done, Onion Budgie! I have to go in on Monday for Iron and Magnesium blood tests because my doc thinks I'm low and that's contributing to my leg/foot pain. I gave up red meat about a month ago and just added it back in to my diet. Kind of bummed because my blood pressure this week was FINALLY 120/65 and it seems like cutting out red meat was the big factor in it going down. Next week my doc wants me to start a 2 protein shakes a day followed by a pimped out salad routine. Have any of you guys had success with weightloss shakes? I'm researching brands right now (since I'm in the US I doubt we'd have the same brands) and it seems like Herbalife is a good one.
  3. Friends. No matter how many times I've seen it, I never get tired of it.
  4. I haven't read since Tuesday night (4 hours of HP and the Prisoner of Azkaban) so tonight I really want to just sit down and finish Crown of Wishes. Starting the audio book now while I do some cleaning stuffs.
  5. I just made up a bottle of iced tea with sugar free raspberry syrup. Soooo good and refreshingly cool for spring! (I had to turn on the air conditioner because my apt was 25c when I woke up this morning!)
  6. Thanks Athena <3 I hope you have lots of fun, too!
  7. Happy Easter (or Passover if you're Jewish ) weekend, everybody! Hope you have fun today! I'll probably be cleaning and watching movies with my much anticipated homemade nachos and sugar free pudding with whipped cream and Oreos dinner. Oh, so traditional Its my first holiday since my Winny kitty died 3 weeks ago and I am still feeling really sad (I used to be a bit weird with holidays and would spoil him with food and new toys like a mama with a kid, lol) without him so I just want to keep busy and try to have fun.
  8. I've been on a bit of a Glee kick lately (mainly because I got addicted to Supergirl/The Flash/Arrow and the main guy in The Flash and the main girl in Supergirl were Glee alum.) I wish Glee could have gone on forever! *weeps*
  9. The weather is pretty nice here. 60, sunny and a little breezy, which is perfect. This morning the fog was so dense you could barely see a creeper in front of you!
  10. I'm watching the first Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows film right now.
  11. Aw, l loved This Savage Song (but as you know, I'm a big mg/ya fan so...) Did you already go to Laini Taylor's signing?
  12. I hope you enjoy it when you get it! I love Veronica Roth's writing style, but there was definitely some hesitation after what she did in Allegiant, lol. I wasn't 100% sure if I could trust her again. Roshani Chokshi is an incredible writer. She's the sort who paints pictures with her words (she's Indian and her books are full of Indian culture that I've had to stop reading and Google. Its a bit hard to start and stop like that, but if you can handle it its soooooo worth it!) She's by far my favorite and most anticipated for future works.
  13. The first novel I finished this year was Carve the Mark by Veronica Roth. I was a bit hesitant to trust Veronica's writing again after she broke my heart with her Divergent series' ending. One thing is for sure, she is extremely talented at creating worlds. Carve the Mark is a science fiction romance set in a solar system unlike any I've read about before. The characters, especially Cyra, are well written and come to life quickly. Cyra's "gift" is a gift of pain. Not only can she inflict it if she touches another, but she feels pain herself all the time. I think part of why I connected so well with her is because I, too, suffer from a chronic nerve pain disorder. The way the author would describe the worst of Cyra's flares was exactly what I could relate to because its how I have spent much of my life over the last few years feeling. I've never read a novel with a character who shared that part of my own experience in life with before. Thankfully, it is just one book in a brand new series. I'm already looking forward to the next one.
