Update-y-ness

Last week was hellish.  For some reason the vast majority of customers I had to deal with at work were rude, and mostly for no reason, which turned my already burnt-out feeling into utter disaster.  Top that off with management coming to me and telling me I had to go through all of the hassle to switch desks because the other team was complain, and I nearly exploded. Friday I was in full bitch/rage mode until I was able to leave and rush home.

Due to the utter bitchiness I felt, I chose to skip Gay Bingo this month.  I helped Josh get ready (the theme was toga, so we used a long piece of white fabric and I safety pinned it all together) and then I decided to head to Barnes & Nobles to indulge in a green tea latte and shop for books.  It's amazing how much an hour of that will turn things around.
Look how cute these little magnet bookmarks are that I bought.
I wanted this pretty boxed set.

I also bought the books for my book swap, but I wont share pictures here until after my partner receives them.  Can't wait to send them!

On the upside, I had three days last week where I drank the whole 72 ounces of water! Still not enough, but it's a start and that makes me happy!


I also had to laugh that the weed Julie picked and stuck in the planter to "watch it die" actually started growing and thriving.  However less than a day after I took this photo they came and tore it out to put actual plants in the planter.

Saturday we woke up early and went to the Farmers Market, and then in the afternoon we drove up to Layton to catch the last few minutes of Kristi's baby shower and then go see Prometheus.  After we went over to an old friend's house to hang out with that old group.  I'd avoided it for quite some time due to old drama between some of those people and me, and was not looking forward to what may happy with them again... However with those people and I, it went well. We mostly just ignored each other.  Then there was other drama, unrelated to me at all, that made us leave early.  I'm really happy that we can now be civil so I don't always have to plan my around them.

I spent the night at Kristi's and then we got up and went to breakfast at the Star Cafe the next day.

I Love these guys!
My honorary niece and nephew.

Then we left the kids with Ken and Kristi and I went book shopping for her book swap books! I also splurged and picked up both of these books in hardcover. I can justify it as in honor of Ray Bradbury passing away last week.  One of my favorite authors, and Fahrenheit 451 has always been one of my favorite books.  I want to read Something Wicked this Way Comes as well.
R.I.P Ray Bradbury

I also have these adorable pictures of the honorary kiddos!

Cute little cowboy!
Courtney took this, but I had to share it.
Then Kristi and I came home and crafted, look how cute! (There will be a tutorial on this sometime in the future).  Crafting makes me happy.
Bookmarks!
How was your weekend?

Roadtrip-a-Matic

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of PA Tourism for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

Have you ever been planning a road trip and wished it was a little easier to figure out where to stay and what to see?  I have.  Currently I'm planning a road trip for July and I have no idea what campsites to book, if I need to stay in the city the night before camping, what to see while I'm there, etc.  It can be kind of frustrating to figure it all out.  Sometimes I'm tempted to just pay someone to figure it all out and run it by me.  It would certainly be easier.

Have you ever thought of visiting Pennsylvania or road tripping through there?  I've been thinking about it, and even though it looks like it wont be very soon, I still have it in my list of trips to try sometime.  Luckily, pa-roadtrips has the Roadtrip-a-Matic which does most of the planning for you!  They even have a bunch of pre-chosen road trips you can look at!

I went and looked through their website, and they have some really cool trips in there.  There's the Tour d'Art which is a road trip that focuses on artistic charm, or the Taste Buds on Tour road trip which focuses on the best beer, wine, and food of PA.  There are so many roadtrips to choose from, but if I got to pick one it would probably be the Ghost Rides road trip.  That one focuses on haunted places, ghost rides, haunted hay rides-I want to go do this in the fall sometime!  Creepy cool!

You should really go and check it out!  If you do, come back and tell me which one you would choose to go on!  I'm really interested to know!
