Randoms.

I've just completed a paper that I've worked on since Saturday... so my brain is a little shot.

As a result, this post is  just a bunch of random-ness that's been going on with me lately!

[one]- my little sis, Mallory, toured UGA Tuesday and loved it. (so happy!) She'll be a HS senior next year... which I can't believe. I'm hoping maybe, just maybe, she can be a DAWG with me! I mean... how cute does she look in Athens? 

She belongs here. 

[two]- I'm a little obsessed with the song "Call me, Maybe" by Carly Rae Jepsen. At first I didn't like it at all.. but it's on repeat right now. What a great girly jam.

[three]- I've been reading the 50 Shades of Grey series... currently on number 3. And these sequels get better and better. At first I was hesitant to keep reading the first one.. but my word. I can't put them down now. I can't wait to see who they cast for a movie!

[four]- I've been going through weird phases where I become obsessed with a food. Currently: it's pimento cheese. I can't tell you how many pimento cheese sandwiches I've had lately... but it's slightly ridiculous. Do y'all do this?! Get latched onto a food for a few weeks?

and on that note, I'm off to class!

Happy Thursday!

Book Recommendations

At 5:00 today, my Spring Break will officially begin.

I'll be heading to the beach with Jasmine, planting my bottom in a chair, and reading to my little heart's content.

So, with that being said...

I need some book recommendations! 

I've read all of Emily Giffin's books, the Hunger Games, Dragon Tattoo series... (I know those are frequently recommended) 

so outside of THOSE... lay 'em on me!

I gotta load up my Kindle before we hit the road!

Gettin' Things DOOONE!

Sunday afternoons I prefer to be lazy.

but today I have a to-do list a miiiile long.

I'm trying to cross off these things as FAST as I can so I can do better things.. like repaint my nails. ;)

  but having my windows open, and enjoying some fresh air on this beautiful day makes it a little less painful. 

And tonight I'm looking forward to starting this book [pictured below] that my small group is studying. 

How are you spending YOUR Sunday afternoon?!

WILW

Holy smokes, 3 posts in one week? I am on a ROLL!!

Starting my new year off right ;)

and TODAY I'm linking up with sweet Jamie for WILW!

What I'm loving...

[one.]

Boot socks.

Considering it went from 60 degrees to 30 overnight this week in Georgia.. I'm in love with these babies. They are so incredibly warm. 

[two.]

My beautiful Frye boots that I gifted myself for Christmas.
[pictured above]

I've coveted these beauts for over a year now.. and I finally bit the bullet. and have seriously worn them every day since they arrived via UPS. ;)

[three.]

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo Series.

Woahhh baby, these books are amazing. 

I can't put them down.. I'm on the third one now and I don't want it to end!

The first one takes a little bit to get into.. but don't get discouraged because they are seriously AMAZING.

and basically, you need to go see the movie so they will make the second.
the end.
:)

Happy Birthday Mama!! I love you!!

 
What are YOU loving today?!
Go link up with Jamie and share it with us!

One Day

I read the book earlier this summer and loved it!

It's been on the best seller list in London for over a year now, and now the movie comes out this month. I'm so excited and really can't wait to see it!

I love reading books before they're made in to movies, it's always neat to see the book actually brought to life. 

The movie stars Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess. 

My only concern is Anne Hathaway pulling off the English accent... I really don't like fake accents in movies. Southern ones are always the worst! But watch the trailer and see for yourself! 

Have any of y'all read the book? Or plan to see the movie?

Summer Reads

Blogging in the Summer is really hard.

My brain doesn't feel like thinking.. so I don't come up with great blogposts. And on top of that.. I don't really do much that IS interesting enough to share with you.

Basically, over the last week I've been reading my tail off.. and if you've noticed I've added a Reading List tab at the top of my page to link you to a page of the books I've read this year.

If you're like me and LOVE to read.. make sure you check out The Hunger Games series. My sweet friend Melissa told me about them and I can't get enough! I'm waiting on the third one to make it to my library. 

I also love reading books that you sweet bloggers suggest, because we all seem to have similar taste! I've finally made it through the last list I was recommended.. and I have a few more on my nightstand. But I'm ready for more recommendations! Send them my way so I can have a lengthy pile of books to read!

What are some of your favorite reads this summer?
