Blog Revamp

I am going to make my best effort to blog more this year, and to be more creative with my posts. But just to warn you all, I'm a boring person so I may have trouble.

I have changed the title of my blog and will be changing the header and such to match the new name. I think I am going to keep my background but change some other things. I have already changed my fonts (or at least I think I did!!)

Let me know if you have any suggestions for me!!

Book #1: Dragonfly in Amber

 -Dragonfly in Amber by Diana Gabaldon.
(#2 in the Outlander Series)
Image source: amazon.com

I actually started this book on our honeymoon, but didn't finish it until this past week. The length of the book is intimidating to anyone (960 pages), and it's certainly not a quick read. I found that this book had parts that were very intriguing as well as parts that seemed to drag on forever. Outlander (book #1) was the same for me. However the story of Jamie and Claire is too good to walk away from. The twist of Claire's daughter in this book was welcoming and I am very curious to see how Claire and Brianna's relationship plays out in the next book!!

I will be taking a break from the Outlander series for a bit. I read the first and second back to back and the length of the books just gets longer as they go. However, the third is on a list to be completed by April 1st, so hopefully it will be read by then!

Rating: 5 stars!!

**To those of you that are interested in my books for the year, I have added a link to my sidebar to the list. It will be updated as I read throughout the year. Keep me motivated to my goal of 50 in 2011!!

Done and DONE!!!

Well folks...the news you have been waiting for...


I PASSED MY LICENSURE EXAM!!!!!

I logged into the host site about 24 hours after taking the test and saw the most perfect words ever: "Scores received from test center- Passed". Music to my ears. Better than Christmas morning! Now I have to wait for my lovely state to get the news and send me my license.

And what am I doing to celebrate? Reading a fiction book. And going to P.F.Changs for lunch/early dinner with Mr. D.

Heck yes, freedom at last.

I'm gonna read me a book!

I am uber jealous of people that can read two or three books in a week. Now don't get me wrong , I would totally be able to do the same...but only if I didn't go to work during the day!! I used to be a fast reader, let's see if I still am. After I pass this exam. After all, the books aren't going anywhere, right??

And this isn't meant to insult these individuals...I truly am jealous.

Quick Update

I feel like a bad blogger lady!! I have been neglecting you so. Therefore, I wanted to post a quick update.

-I am currently cramming for my licensure exam that is coming up very very very soon. You will hopefully be seeing more of me after I take it (and pass!!)
-The holidays were a blur because we got back from our trip exactly one week before Christmas. Talk about having to do everything at the last minute. But the cookies were baked, the presents were wrapped and the tree was decorated. And that's all that matters. (Full review of honeymoon and possibly Christmas cookies to come.)
-My goal for the year is to read 50 books before December 31. I may need recommendations. Not that my list of 250 to-read books is lacking in choices!!
-This year will hopefully bring new things to the blog: 1. more recipes 2. more pictures 3. book reviews

Stick with me guys!! Are there any readers left?? How were your holidays?
