I Feel Like Gabbing Today


** I have no idea how often I will post this feature. It is a work in progress. I do however know that I want to share with you the very random thoughts that pop into my head and chat with you about them. Many are bookish thoughts and many are not. I feel like I don't have enough discussion type posts on the blog so I am giving this a whirl. Some days I will talk about a specific topic and sometimes I will just throw some random thoughts at you. So please sit back, relax, and take a second to chat with me today.

Random Thoughts

1. I didn't read nearly as much (or participate in as many challenges and such) as I thought I would this week for Bout of Books. This saddens me. BUT I do have few really good reasons as to why... (See #2-3)

2. I got a new part-time job and I start Wednesday! I am so very excited! Guess what it is? The best ever... I will be the young adult assistant at a public library near where I live. I will still be keeping my other part-time job as a desk clerk at my home library because I love it so, and because the extra money doesn't hurt. I am very lucky to have two awesome library jobs. :D

3. It is official! My husband and I are house hunting. It is fun and nerve wracking. So far I love it.

4. This may seem like nothing compared to my other news, but I was able to sync my new phone to my car all on my own! I may have struggled at first, but the owner's manual helped a lot. I felt really good about the fact that I did this with no help from my husband.

5. I am trying and so far succeeding at drinking more water and less soda every day. Go me!

6. My husband and I saw The Avengers 2. It was really good! If I were to describe it in one word it would be, entertaining.

7. I have been trying so many new recipes I find off the internet lately. I am working on a blog post to share those all with you! What do you think of that?

8. Do you watch Grey's Anatomy? If you don't already then I suggest you never do. It would be easier that way.

9. Due to all the new crazy awesome kind of stressful things happening in my presonal life right now I feel like I am getting super behind on all things blogging. I have a stack of reviews I need to write (9 total). I have a million of my friends' blog posts to read and comment on, not to mention that I need to respond to the comments on my own blog. I think I may actually need to make more of a blogging schedule at least for a little bit while things are hectic, or until I find my new groove in my new schedule.

What's new with you?

  1. Both your jobs sound amazing! I am super jealous. Me and my husband are also doing a bit of house hunting, hopefully in the next 6-12 months we'll be moving it. It's very exciting

    1. Thanks!

      I have a feeling that although house hunting is fun it will be a good amount of work!

      I am sure going to try! Since I have today off from both jobs I am just blogging and reading and spending time with my husband. I am enjoying it.

  5. 1. Considering everything else... understandable! Look on the bright side - you can't be worse than me when it comes to challenges ;)
    2. CONGRATS! And can we trade places? That job sounds AMAZING and I hope you have a blast doing it!
    3. WOO more exciting news! I can't wait to one day have a place of my own and to decorate! I hope the search goes well!
    4. Haha all of these life changes Kay. I can't even recognize you anymore ;) But this reminds me that I need to sync my phone with my car...
    5. I need to drink more water too! I try to make sure my pee is always clear. Too much information?
    6. I can't remember if I saw Avengers 1 *hides*
    7. YES! I would definitely be interested! I've been doing the same (and thinking the same) and would definitely love to swap! I've made some GOOD meals.
    8. Hah no. But I hear it still hasn't ended. It's on par with Supernatural
    9. Again, understandable! Don't stress yourself out - we all get it and go through the same thing - we'll be here when you have some free time again :)

      3. I have already been pinning like crazy on pinterest for decorating ideas.
      4. hahaha
      5. I do that too! I usually fail. :/
      6. You better hide! Kidding. It is good. Watch it sometime this summer and let me know what you think!
      7. We should do those posts! I love finding recipes and I would love reading your post of food stuff too!
      8. No it hasn't but I am not watching it next season. gah.

  6. Go you! Drinking more water is a great goal to have.
    Good luck on house hunting. I'm sure it's stressful, but a blast too. My mom used to drag me and my brothers to open houses because she loves looking at houses/she's nosy.
    I'm always looking for new recipes so I would love to read posts like those here.
    Congrats on the new job! Working at the library is like a dream come true for readers including me.
    You do a very good job commenting compared to me as well as posting. Cut yourself some slack. You have a lot going on and are doing well with the time you have been using for your blog from what I can tell.

    1. I am trying to be like you Adriana and drink water and take more walks! :D

      It is fun to see how other people decorate/live.

      I am working on a post featuring all my favorite recipes I found on pinterest lately! I hope you like it.

      Thanks for the congrats and for reminding me to give myself some slack! I really do need to remember that.

  8. Congrats on house hunting! That's really exciting, will you be looking for a house to buy to live in or to rent out and make a bit of money?
    Also congrats on the new part time job! I love having a bit of extra money coming it.
    I love the idea of sharing recipes! I'm starting to do they same :D
    How good was the Avenger's 2? I swoon every time Chris Hemsworth is on the screen, seriously he is so sexy.

    1. Thanks! I am so excited! We are looking to buy our very first house to live in.

      Thanks! So far it has been good at the new job.

      Thor makes the movie in my opinion!

  9. I like the idea of sharing some of those recipe things you end up making, and there is a lot of good news in this single post! I am glad you enjoyed Avengers 2, and that new job sounds awesome. I mean a library... surrounded by books all the time... what more could you want? I hope the house hunting goes well, and you seem on track with drinking more water!
