My Books

I got my books from my swap partner Katie at Life With The D's and she picked out:

- The Happiness Project

- The Privilege of Youth

- A Man Named Dave

- A Million Little Pieces

I can't wait to get started on reading them. First on the list is The Happiness Project! So excited for it.

Books & Letters

Last year, I did my first ever blogger swap. And I loved it! Ever since then I've been addicted to them but, as I said in my resolution post, I have to slow down on them.

This month I'm taking on the Books 'n Bloggers Swap hosted by the fabulous Miss Angie and Beth who came together to create Chaotic Goddess Swaps. This was the first swap I did and I got Angie herself as my swap partner. So of course, when I saw it was time to do the swap again, I was in.

The premise is real simple. You buy 3 books for your partner, one of your favorites, one that is on their wishlist (which is provided), and a book that you've never read that you think your partner would like!


So go sign up, maybe we can be partners!  And I have some Friday's Letters for you guys. Because blogger block is still in charge of my mind, but it's slowly fading.  Dear Boyfriend, I love you. Love love love you. Sorry for the mushyness but we're just so good right now. It feels amazing, no petty fights, no big fights, just peace, fun, and love between us. Can't get much better.  Dear School, You start Monday, however I don't go until Tuesday. And while I'm excited for you for the time being, give it a good four weeks and we'll be enemies again. At least I'm taking some fun classes and have an awesome schedule. I can't complain.  Dear Teagan, I miss you. This is my weekend with you and I'm going to spend at least 10 hours at work tomorrow. Boo. But on Sunday I don't work until 5. Which is a pointless time to go in but whatever. I just want you and me to hangout and do whatever you want to do.  Dear Car, I can't wait until this love/hate relationship between us is over. I hate that you have so many problems and cost me an outrageous amount of money for being such a piece of shit. I love how beautiful you are. Red and so pretty. You're very me on the outside and I love it. But I just can't handle you anymore. I have to get a new one.  Dear Job, BLAHHHHHHHH. I'm not feeling you lately. Could be because I don't have any more days off to look forward to. Could be because I can't get a decent paycheck to save any damn money. But I love most of the people I work with. I've made great friends =) Dear Tv, Thank you for coming back! I'll be doing a post Monday on what I'm most happy to see. I can sit on my ass and lose my mind in some tv. Mhm!  Dear Blog World, I love you to pieces! Thank you for giving me a hobby. I love my relationships with my bloggy friends. Those girls mean a lot to me and you all crack me up. I love your faces!

I'm linking up with Ashley at The Sweet Season.

Look At This!

Good Morning Cupcakes! Hope y'all can quickly adjust to going back to the daily grind! And I hope you all had a wonderful long weekend! I missed this spot and thought about you all alot but so much was going on that I just couldn't bear to open my laptop. We have a lot of catching up to do. This post will probably be all over the place.

My Thanksgiving was really good. It was spent with my dad's side of the family and for once we all managed to get a long. See, that's a miracle. We're all outspoken and a little crazy so yeah, good deal for us. I drank some wine (maybe more than I should have) and it was delish! The food was really good. I don't like turkey and this turkey was the most moist flavorful turkey ever! I didn't take any pictures though. Sorry. Thanksgiving night wasn't the best though, my fur-sister had to be put down that night. I feel so sad for my dad and step-mom. Lucy was only 6 years old and she was amazing. There were lots of tears shed when this decision was reached. Until I see her again, I'll be seeing her in my dreams.

Teag and me. I did actually get one picture!

I was also a crazy and went out to Black Friday shop Thursday evening. The fact that it was on Thursday evening irritates me but that's a different post for another day. I took the wife, boyfriend and mi madre. We hightailed it to our local Walmart about 730. Sales started at 8 and I pretty much got what I wanted. I can't complain. Except some guy duped me and handed me the wrong season of TrueBlood. -.- That shit sucks. Boyfriend's crazy ass sat in line for a tv for almost 3 hours. He got it though! Not that we needed a tv. What is it about guys that they don't want something unless it's on sale? We don't need the tv. At all. But it was cheaper than normal so he HAD to have it. Whatever. lol. I looked at my receipt last night and learned that I didn't get some deals like I thought I did. So next year I will be doing more research because I spent way too much money to not get good deals.

Yeah I look like hell. Please excuse mr photo bomber back there!

Now, onto some awesome bloggy business! Awhile ago the awesome Natalie who runs Oh Emm Gee had a mug swap. I got paired with Annie at Annie Mayzing and she sent me the cutest mug!

isn't this cute! She made sure my package was fun to look at.

My adorable mug =)

A cute message on a clover shaped card...she paid attention ;)

and the teas she love that she gave as favors at her wedding

Thank you Miss Annie! And thanks Natalie! It was fun.

Kailyn at Wandering Free  and Jessica at Living My FairyTale decided that they would start a bloggy bookclub. I was super excited when I read about this idea so of course I signed up. We're reading Heart on a Chain. It's interesting. I had wanted to read it before this so again, I was excited. My review will come on December 17! Come link up for the next book =)

I think that's all for today cupcakes! Maybe I'll have an actual post tomorrow. lol. 

I said My Oh My!

I'm reading 50 Shades of Grey =). And I am sucked in by every word of it. I loooovvveee it. I don't even know why. I just can't get enough. Maybe I'm a perv. It's ok though.

It does have a lot of grammar errors though. And that shiz drives me nuts! I hate Twilight and really thought this was going to be terrible since it was " Twilight fanfare." But it's not even close. I know I have grammar errors and that makes me a hypocrite.

It's a great indulgent read. I'm not taking much from it but I am indulged in Mr. Grey. He looks like this guy in my mind. Yes, that means it's who I want to play him in the movie. I can just imagine how awsesome he would be.

Alexander Skarsgard

And I want a Mr. Grey. I don't care what he's into but the way he loves Ana just melts my heart. It's true absolute love. I see a love story. Of course. I've told you guys I'm really a hopeless romantic. It's complete bullshit and sucks but I really am.

Maybe I'm ok with it because I had read reviews where people listed every negative thing with the book. And I knew that it wasn't going to be great. So that's why I love it. It's like Magic Mike, you have to realize it's gonna be bad but love it for what it is. Terribleness and all. Hahaha. That's fucking deep guys. Wow. Like remember that shit because I doubt it happens very often. Ok, I have another post where I'm getting kinda deep coming up this week. Whatever! Off point here, but that might be a good thing.

I love 50 Shades of Grey. There, I said it. If you disagree and think I'm gross or something that's ok. Just try and love me through it. I give 50 Shades of Grey an A-.

Whooo!

Hey y'all...remember that Book Swap that I joined a little bit ago? It was hosted by Miss Angie over at My So Called Chaos and Beth at Living A Goddess Life. I think that they had the best idea ever! I love books so I was excited.

And kids, after what seemed like an eternity - it was only 3 days- my books came!!!

My partner was Miss Angie from My So Called Chaos.
And she did wonderful! Here's a pic of my haul.

1. Ophelia
2. Water for Elephants
3. The Four Agreements

A Book She Loves

Miss Angie loves this book and I bet that it's good. Just reading what it was about was exciting!

A Book I Want!

I was so excited that she sent this. I was really hoping for this one. This girl can read my mind. I'm

half-way through it too. lol. =)

A Book She Hadn't Read

I'm actually pretty sure this was on some wishlist too. =)

All in all....she did wonderful! I'm so happy with what I received and I can't wait to

do this again. Hopefully that happens!

And finally...I got a pretty sweet partner. It's like she could read my mind.

And I'm glad to have a new blogger friend too.

p.s. I know we were supposed to put the code on here for the book swap and I tried.

However, everytime I tried it was a button for Miss Angie's page. So...Idk..Sorry!!
