Happy Friday Lovelies!

It's Friday it's Friday gotta get down on Fridaaaaaayyyy.

Hahaha sorry, I had to. You know deep down you kinda like it!

I'm gonna link up with Miss Angie from My So-Called Chaos to do my monthly goals. I know I didn't complete most of them but that's just me! Sorry suckas. Been a long month.

June Recap!

- Be more active. fail. No excuses can make this better.

- Drink more water. fail. Ok, half and half. But it's not enough for me to consider it complete.

- Get with my sister for her graduation gift. failed. But I did spend a lot of time

with her!!

- Save money other than for my car payment. fail. I quit my job! No money to

save besides the money I already had.

- Go through tea's toys. fail. yeah. go me.

See kids, this is why I didn't want to post it. Oh well!

July's Goals

Find a J-O-B.  I should have already had one by like two tuesdays ago. Well at least

in my head that's how it feels.

Read 2 books.

Stay up to date on my school work. I'm almost done. I can do this.

And goals from the month before that I'm going to accomplish

- be more active

- go through tea's toys in the living room. (The child has more toys in her room but there are plenty here.)

- drink more water. (I'm already doing good on that one!)

That's all for this month. I'm really going to work on the job. Yep. I need one super bad. That's my main goal.

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!!

Reading List

I posted in my 22 before 22 that I was going to start a reading list or something like that. I have a bad memory but remember the idea. This blog is going to be my reading list. I don't have very many books for it right now but I'm up for ideas! If you have anything let me know!!

1. The Happiness Project

2. Water for Elephants - completed 6/24/12

3. Heaven is For Real

4. Women Food and God

5. Girls in Trucks

6. I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell

That's it for now. Obviously, I like non-fiction better then fiction. I like to learn about something but every now and then I need to get lost in somebody else's world. I also can tell you that some of the above books are religious sounding. I'm trying to find spirituality and become a better believer. Life isn't perfect for me and I feel like I'm drowning for the most part. I feel that if I find some spirituality I can maybe get my head above water.

I used to read all the time. I became a mama and started college and working all the time and I just quit. I love to read so if I'm really desperate, I'll read a text book because sometimes books are just not on the top of my list of stuff to go buy. Reading is reading, no matter what I read.

What's on your reading list? Do any of these books sound good to you?

Let me know...And All That Good Stuff!

p.s. These books aren't listed in any particular order

22 before 22
