Over run by books???

Well I finished reading "No Time for Goodbye" yesterday. I read the last few pages while walking in the middle of the street in this little block that's rarely used for oncoming traffic. It was just too good to be put down! I wont spoil the fun for you guys but suffice to say that this book is worth the trip to the library!

Anyway, as I was finished reading the last few lines. I said to myself....self, this is so worthy of being added to my collection. And then I thought to myself...self you are only 36 and you have (God willing) a lifetime ahead of you to collect books. If I keep adding books to my every growing collection, how long will it take till I'm overrun by the many books that I love?! So I decided NOT to buy this book! UNLESS I can find it at a flea market OR its a gift. lolol

BTW, is over run one word or two? well for the process of this blog, its going to be two words. lolol

I've been away for a few days. Busy with reading, partying and golfing has led me no time for blogging. But today I'm back. I'm going to delve a little into my activities this past weekend. I'm sure that you'll find them as interesting as I did.

Reading: OK you already know that I finished No Time for Goodbye, but did I tell you that I also read "No Humans Allowed". Another great read. I'm also NOT going to read Two Little Girls in Blue. I was on the fence about this one and Lisy has just pushed me over the fence to the NOT GONNA READ side. lol thanks Lisy, you saved me 2 days. I got a few other reads which I have to turn in on Tuesday, so I could use that time for something else that is fun!

Partying: oh my! It's been nonstop fun for me this weekend! On Saturday night I trekked it all the way up to my sisters house in Bergen County for her House Warming/Engagement party/Niece Birthday party. I had such a nice time. Her home is so lovely. I even threw on the dog! Yep! I put on some make up and heels for this occasion! My brother even said I was beautiful! It made my day/night. lol I do have to tell you that a few guests brought their own Tupperware and loaded up on food. How tacky!! At least I had the good taste to ask my sister for her own Tupperware! lol

Sunday afternoon was the church dinner! It was great. We went to Al & Lynette's house. It was so charming...the house & the dinner. They served chicken franchez (I know its not the right spelling but for the sake of sanity for my readers and myself, I'm going with the pronunciation), arroz con gandules, mash potatoes, pernil, veggies. They also had appetizers. Which consisted of crackers with a crab dip, and some other stuff. lol For desert I had some ice cream cake that had actual cake. It was too sweet and I was way too full. lol There was alot of different things, like strawberry & blueberry cheesecake, fruit salad, two different types of brownies and we brought vanilla/chocolate cake. All in all we had a great time. Our hostess is a very perky & nice woman, very talkative and upbeat always. Our host is more on the quiet side and is an excellent cook! We also had a chance to socialize. It was my first dinner with the church. And I loved it. :)

Miniature Golfing: yes I love the game now! My husband took me and I had a great time!! I have a new found respect for the real deal now. lol I sucked at it, but it was great to try something new with my hubby.

Oh and I got a part time job!! I start next week. I will be working at a plus size ladies clothing store and with my new 31% discount I will be racking up on clothes! I'm so excited. And the great part is that the store manager and I have so many things in common so far! I found all this out at the interview! which btw, was totally Jesus that got me the job. I went in to buy pantyhose and walked out with a job! lol My new manager and I share a love for eating (tho I display it way more than she does), reading and buying bed sheets! I'm so excited. They look like a fun group to work with. I see that they are hard working too. So I'll make a fine addition to their group. Stop by and see me sometime! :) I cant guarantee you a discount...but...I'll always be honest with you about your choice of clothing! You will never walk out of their looking ridiculous!

Oh I also had plans for this upcoming weekend but my husband put the kibosh on them! lol He surprised me and the pastor by inviting him & his wife for dinner! lol Child now you know that Jesus was the one behind all of this. He must have something to say to me! Let me tell you how the rain crept in and rained on my parade a full week ahead of its beginning! lol While sitting in church the pastor mentioned that their discipleship class was beginning on Saturday. Pastor Joe said I'll put the time for those that put the effort. So I said to myself....self, you should give the effort and reap the benefits!! So I made a mental note to be back in time for the class. Then my husband turns around and tells me that he invited them for dinner! That was the downpour to my flea market dreams! So this Saturday I'm going to be busy visiting the bakery for the dessert, the butcher for the fresh meat and the pastors house for the discipleship class. lol It's OK, there will always be more flea markets in my future (God willing).

It seems I've droned on for far too long. See what happens when I'm away for too long? lol I can just see you clamoring for my shorter posts. oh well, happy reading. It's good to know that I'm blogging for and with friends. Happy reading!
