Hunger Games!

Yes, I finally  and read the Hunger Games Trilogy! I kept putting it off because I wasn't sure I could get past the theme of the book, kids fighting to their death. About two weeks ago Bryn mentioned that they were all planning on seeing the movie opening day and since Tyler read the books, she wanted to know if we wanted to come along. Tyler was game and I thought that I should at least give the books a chance before I right them off all together. After a couple of chapters, I was addicted! I was able to get past the actual rules of the "Hunger Games" (just like Bryn and Tyler said I would) and it turns out there was a love story!

I read all three books in a week, I would finish one and immediately want to start the next book. With the help of my kindle I could do just that, even though it was 2 AM on Saturday morning I was still able to buy the second book and begin reading it by 2:03.

We are headed to the the 8:20 showing tonight and I can't wait!

New Car!

It has been a little over a year since I ordered my last car, so naturally you can understand how excited I was to pick up my new ride today! Ok, that may make me sound a bit spoiled and you're right. I won't deny that having a sales car is one of the best perks working for a car company. That being said, I was "bored" with my Explorer and ready to roll down the street in my brand new 2013 Ford Edge!

 

My favorite feature? Well, beside White Platinum being a great color, I LOVE the wheels on this car! The blacked out wheels really make it quite sporty! 

I do need your help naming this one. I'm not even sure where to start. Any suggestions?

Busy, busy!

Yesterday, I received a friendly reminder that I hadn't posted this week's blog entry (thank you Kellie) and I couldn't believe that it was already Wednesday and she was right, no update to the blog. It's been an interesting week. I feel as though I've been quite busy and the work days have been flying by, but its still only Thursday. What gives? Maybe my brain has met it's "project quota" for the week and it decided to take a break?

Speaking of break, I was able to take a mini-break from work yesterday. My friend Christie and I left the office around 2:00 and headed up to Hollywood to the set of American Idol. This was my second trip to American Idol. Last time I went to the "Results" show, so I was excited to be able to see the performances this time around. I hadn't been watching this season, so I didn't have a favorite that I was routing for. The night was all about Stevie Wonder and Whitney Houston, which I found somewhat odd because there would be a fast tempo'd song and then a ballad. That aside it was a great time! For those of you who follow AI, my Top 3 were Joshua, Phillip (reminds me of Dave Matthews), and Jessica Sanchez. Jessica sang "I Will Always Love You" and was AWESOME! She sounded good when I was watching it on TV, but was even better in person. I've tried belting that song out in the car/shower, it's not easy, but she made it look seamless. 

Stay tuned for next week, hopefully it will be a bit more interesting! And once again thank you Kellie, for keeping me on track :)
