By now, most of you know or are wondering how my 2011 Book Challenge turned out. Two words. Utter failure. I wish I could blame it on the horrendous 7 week bout of morning sickness I was battling, but lets face it, I was on the road to bombing this challenge long before I was with child. I choose to focus on the positive......which is, I finished two books. Only one of which I had set out to read from the start. The second book just sort of happened. I had been recommended
This Is Where I Leave You by a good friend almost two years ago. She was even kind enough to loan me her copy to read. After keeping it FOREVER, I returned it to her unread. Luckily, I had scored myself a paperback copy at the annual book sale for a quarter. There it sat on our bookshelf untouched until this last November. My father has become a reading machine and has been plowing through books faster than he can find something else to read. So, I gave him a few books and this just happened to be one he borrowed. He loved it. Laughed out loud at parts. Then my mom read it. Even purchased it as a birthday gift for someone. So, I starting reading it at Thanksgiving and I loved it. It is just my humor.
Miss Marina Star you need to read this book. You won't be sorry. I know I owe you about five reads of recommended books at this point, but you will love this book.
The Oklahoma City Anthropologie has finally opened! I finally went today and the crowd wasn't all that bad. I knew opening day would be nuts and my patience for crowds isn't what it used to be. The store is beautiful. I knew it would be but, it surpassed my expectations. Good ol' OKC is starting to feel like a real "big" city. Makes me smile.
I am obsessed with this dress. I would have already purchased it for myself if I wasn't knocked up and on my way to looking like a house. This dress makes me happy and looks like the perfect choice for an outdoor spring wedding. Someone please buy this dress and let me live vicariously through you. Details here.
