Books rock!

I have just finished another of my favorite author's books (Jen Lancaster). She is a hoot! She is my favorite on many levels:

1. She is TRYING valliantly to get fit--can't say the same for me, but she inspires me nonetheless.

2. She lives in Chicago--her books are so spot on to the city and city life, they make me crack up!

3. She is a Big Ten girl (although, does Purdue count?!?!)

4. She is a Pi Phi!! ROCK IT!!

5. She's a young Republican.

6. Most importantly, she has THE SAME BIRTHDAY I DO!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, you can see why I enjoy her so much. Pick up "Bitter is the new Black", next "Bright lights, Big Ass" and "Why Pie is not the answer". I am not a big memoir reader--I usually find them to be WAAAY to stuffy, but hers is literally LAUGH OUT LOUD!!! Can't recommend more--although if you don't appreciate a bit of swearing in certain circumstances, you may not love her.

I have decided to do Stacy Julian's challenge for the week--or day--depending on how motivated I am. Here are the instructions:

• Snap ten or twelve photos of your life right now. Or find recent photos that you've already taken.
• Compile these photos in one of these super-cute Bazzill Mono-Mini albums (keep reading)
• Keep or carry this album with you, tucked in your purse or desk drawer for one full year.
• Promise to glance through the album every time you stumble upon it or pull it out.
• On October 1st, 2009, create a scrapbook page about your experience.

So, here I am taking a picture of me blogging!! Sweet! Check that one off!

I have taken a picture of the stack of books that I want to read this fall and I am getting ready to scrapbook a page--of what you ask? I haven't gotten that far yet. Just remember to enjoy TODAY!! Have a great one!
