    I have watched the Dior Homme videos featuring Robert Pattinson far too many times.
    I write sexy books. I read all the books. I love dresses & macarons.

    I had to use DH's deodorant one day and I think it works a lot better than mine.  So yes, now I'm using men's deodorant and just hoping it isn't as "cologne smelling" as I think

    :(

    I'm currently eating oatmeal chocolate chip cookies for breakfast. My mom dropped them off last night. They're delicious. The oatmeal totally counts as a breakfast food, right?

    Absolutely.

    My confession is that I've only read 14 books so far this year. That's so unlike me it's not even funny, but I've been so wrapped up in other stuff (writing and Liam) that I just kept putting books down.

    So now my mission in life is to catch up to my goal, which I'm 19 books behind. Haaaaa.

    I have read less than 10 books this year and I don't have a baby or a finished novel as my excuse. I want to read, I've been so overwhelmed with real life this year that I haven't made the time for it I should. :(

    I might get banned from the board for this but I don't think 'Pride and Prejudice' is that great. I liked it but it's not my favorite Austen book and it wouldn't make my top 20 favorite books. I've read it twice and don't get the hype; makes me feel like I'm missin something.

    I never read     Pride & Prejudice. Or Wuthering Heights. Or any of those other books I was supposed to read in high school. I relied on the Cliff's Notes to get through all of my English papers. And I have no desire to go back and read them now.

    We are having a terrible, terrible morning. I feel like crying.

    Because the boys woke up early in terrible moods, all I can picture is 10 more hours of this until Shaun gets home.

    I already needed a break so both of the boys are in the shower with Shaun. I can hear them crying but don't feel guilty at all that this is how Shaun is starting his day bc he gets to leave and enjoy quiet all day.

    Overwhelmed with life is a pretty damned good excuse. Don't worry, we're not posers. We still <3 books!

    My co-worker and I planned and put together an EXPO booth with minimal help from the other people on our team. Our boss funded the booth and when I gave him the change he gave me back $25. Co-worker and I are having lunch on him today with the money and we aren't inviting anyone else to join us.

    True. I do think the screen adaptations really helped me with it.  Reading it after seeing it I appreciated the humor a lot more.  Lizzie is funny!

    I was asked by co-workers if I would go see Hugh Jackman in his new movie with them.  I said no but I might go see Jake Gyllenhaal in his new movie.

    School has only been in session for roughly two weeks and step-monster has already earned himself an in-house suspension.  It is going to be a long-ass year.

    Update:

    To combat Izey's grumpiness, I just gave him ice cream for breakfast. 

    This is fine because 1- how is it different from yogurt? and 2- it is strawberry so FRUIT! 

    Bam. MOTY and I don't even care, he is thrilled. 

    You need a day.
