The smell of your skin – the taste of your kiss

Posted on by Shawshank

Good morning, hap hap happy Monday! Did you know all the best weeks start with a Monday? Ok ok, Shawshank, you’re at a 9 this morning, we need you at a 3 m, so settle down.

It was an ok sleep last night. At some point I woke up and had to pee. But the reason I woke up was, I was so warm. It’s been warm the last couple of days, with yesterday being the warmest.

So today I have a few things I need to do today I have the stove I have to shut off and clean. It was supposed to be done Saturday, but I was working. It’ll only take about 20 minutes to clean. It’s not that bad. And I have to do my laundry.

But right now, it’s morning news show, and coffee. Have a great morning 🙂

Book club: Brave New world & The Girl on the Train

Posted on by Shawshank

Good afternoon my book lovers, There’s a bonus today. I’ll be talking about two books! I know, he has no time to read, but he’s reading two books now? While it’s true that I’m still trying to find balance between work and reading, I really wanted to read both of them.

Brave New World by Aldous Huxley

It’s very retro-futuristic. So I’m enjoying it so far. I’m not too far into it, but it’s very good. Very strange, and I don’t really know what’s going on in it so far. It seems to me there’s one really popular chick that everyone wants to date. They kinda sleep around and baby’s are made in a test tube. I can’t wait to dive into this and finish it up.

The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins

I remember watching a movie about this book. I liked the movie, but I got really sucked into the book. Although, it could be “Delusional Drunk Girl on a train”! The book is told from the perspectives of three different women.

I know not too much to go on with these books, but I’ve really only read the first couple of chapters each. But, let it be known, I’m really liking both books so far!

Good morning! Happy Sunday! The coffee is brewing and it’s a brand new day! Today will be a busy one. I’ll be heading by myself to BiggerTown to do my shopping.

Two hours there. Shop. Lunch. Maybe a little more shopping, then two hours home.

My list is simple

  • Body pillow
  • Melatonin
  • More undershirts
  • Shoes
  • Razors
  • Lunches for the week

All stuff that’s a lot cheaper at Walmart than it is at any of the stores in either SlightlyBiggerTown. Then tomorrow, when my mom goes to SlightlyBiggerTown to get the oil changed, I’ll babysit gramma. At that time, if I don’t do it when I get back to the house today, I can work on the book club, and a book haul post that I’ve been meaning to do for a week or so.

But for now, coffee.

Happy Sunday y’all.

But first, coffee.

Awake. The volume is turned up on my phone. So when my alarm went off, (courage, it couldn’t come at a worse time!) scared me a little. Not enough to make me wish I was wearing brown jammies, but just enough to startle awake.

Hopefully it should be a quick day. I want to start my weekend. Not that I have anything planned. I don’t know if it’s still on, but we were supposed to go to BiggerTown for an oil change. Now I don’t know. Mom would have to stay with gramma, and my dad was supposed to take a day and I’d ride with him. He wouldn’t have to take a day but the truck is his baby and I’m not allowed to drive it.

But the thing is, I have a list of stuff that I was going to get at Walmart and other stores nothing really needed. Except maybe another pair of shoes. All my shoes, minus my Docs, are falling a part. So yeah I kinda need shoes, oh, and melatonin.

Who knows. I’m sure I’ll be woken up Monday, we my dad asking me if I’m ready to go.

But tonight, there’s a new episode of SNL. Crystal and I are going to try and make it until weekend update. Gawd, we’re old! Haha

First Line Friday

Posted on by Shawshank

Woohoo, we made it to Friday! So here’s the game that we’re playing; I give you the first couple lines of a random book on my shelf, you guess in the comments, and next week, I’ll give you the answer!

Last weeks book was Clan of the Cave Bear. Did you figure it out?

That sounds like fun, amirite?

Ok, ready? Let’s go!

For a long time the horizon had been a monotonous flat blue line separating the Pacific Ocean from the sky. The Navy helicopter raced forward, flying low, near the waves. Despite the nous and thumping vibration of the blades, Norman Johnson fell asleep.

Think you have the answer? Comment below!

Until next week…
