Busy girl.
I’m the kind of girl that has a running list of when my favorite book sequels are being released. I love to read. Its quite an addiction, really. But this book…I’ve been waiting for this book for a year. Its the 3rd and final installment in The Hunger Games trilogy. Start from the beginning if you have no idea what I’m talking about. And then you can thank me later for the awesomeness that I bestowed upon you. By the way, you’re welcome.
Getting this book was a different story entirely. Last year, when the 2nd book, Catching Fire was released, I was at the bookstore at 9am on the dot to get it. I then proceeded to read nearly half of it in the bookstore because I just couldn’t put it down. This time, however, I actually had a job to go to and couldn’t make it. It wasn’t until 2 days later that I finally asked The Hubs to pick it up for me on his way home. With a long sigh, he obliged. Unfortunately, it was sold out at the book store he went to. SOLD OUT! That’s how awesome it is, people! So he went to another store, after which he immediately informed me that they had JUST sold out. Wow. I was heartbroken.
Until I got home.
There, on the kitchen counter, in all of its amazing glory, was Mockingjay. That’s when I realized that The Hubs loves me (because saying “I do” is never enough, right?).
But I’m on a schedule to get this read by next Tuesday, because another long-awaited sequel (prequel, actually, but whatevs), The Clockwork Angel, is hitting the stores that day. And wouldn’t you know it? I’m off that day! And the angels sing, “Haaaaaalelujah!”
As soon as I’m finished with my job interview (details to come!), lunch with Black Gaga (aka Maura), groceries, and dinner with The Mobile Morrisons, I may find a little time to read a few paragraphs before I pass out from exhaustion…the good kind that comes from a really amazing day. I’m sending out some seriously good vibes for Tuesday. It certainly helps that I’ll look like a million bucks in my interview outfit, courtesy of the best neighbor in the whole world (Thanks, Lisa!!!).
And I’ll be headed to Montgomery on Wednesday because my sister and her hubs have decided to bring another little one into the world. And they want me to photograph the event. This should be interesting…
Seriously though, I’m already in love with my soon-to-be-born neice, Mary Alexis. Can’t wait to meet her!
I told you I’ve been a busy girl! Now, what’s going on in your life? Let’s celebrate the awesomeness together, shall we?

Wow, how exciting! Being an aunt rocks!
My great news is that I found a kitchen to make my cakes in, I know it wasnt the way you decided to go, but I think its where I’m headed!
