Hello Darlings,
Better late then never right?? Wednesday's book review... here it is. One of my favorite author's is Tara Janzen. The book I just finished is Breaking Loose. I love this series, its about these undercover agents that drive BA classic cars. They are assassins when they need to be, and then they rescue things for the government... and of course there is a love story, because otherwise there would be no reason for me to read them. Of course it is for an older crowd, but I love them, and since it is a series, I am waiting for the next book to come out on pins and needles.

oh what a week!!

Hello Dears,
Well this weekend was fantastic. I had soo much fun. My brother and I had a great time. Well, let me start at the beginning, on my drive up there I was listening to a book on tape and that book was one of the greatest romances that I think that I have ever "read." It is by Jude Deveraux and it is called Lavendar Morning. I highly recommend it to every woman out there. I am sending it to my mom to listen to it. I was so entranced by it that that night when I was going to sleep I listened to the last hour of it because I couldn't wait til I was on the road again to finish it. Anyways, that was a random aside. When I got to my brother's apartment, I got cleaned up and when we jumoed on the bus and went to get crepes. They were delicious. It was so cool being on our own. We felt like we were finally really adults. We were alone, able to make our own decisions. It was very liberating, and a little scary to realize how grown up we are. While eating our crepes we talked about our family and all that our younger cousins have to look forward to, it was very sweet. The next day we went to lunch with our step brother Ryan, and his wife, Shannon, it was really great to see them, it always is. Then after that we dropped off my car, and as we were getting out we say the blue angels fly over for fleet week, and that was pretty awesome. Then we took the bus to the golden gate bridge, and we walked the WHOLE thing. It was very cold but also breathtaking and amazing. It was so much fun!! Then we took the wrong bus, but eventually figured it out,and we went and had tea at Crown and Crumpet. Which I believe i have posted about before back in July. It was a bit girlie for my brother, but I absolutely loved it! Then we walked down to fisherman's wharf and had clam chowder at the same restaurant where we all had dinner when we road tripped to drop Brenn off for college, and we had the same waiter, and as we were leaving, he let us know he remembered us, because he said "see you next month around the same time, since you seem to make monthly visits" I thought it was cool, Brennan didn't find it as intriguing. Then we took the bus, and ironically where we got off to change buses was sitting our waiter from the tea place, so we talked to him for a little while, I should have checked to see if it was a full moon with all the funny little meetings taking place. We then went back to Brenns apartment. The next day we did some shopping, bought Brenn an amazing peacoat from express, which as he would say makes him look "sexy" haha, well it is very nice, then I went to his basketball game, where he won. That was the end of my trip. The next morning I dropped him off at school and then headed for SLO, to see my best friend for her birthday. I hope to share my time with her in a later post. Hope you all are having a lovely week!

Weekend getaway

Hello beautiful people,
Its finally FRIDAY!!! I'm so exicted, I'm babysitting this morning, and then I am off to the happiest place on earth; DISNEYLAND!! This week has been all about being a kid, and so now it is my turn to go to the land of fantasy, where all your dreams come true, (if only it were that simple) but at least I'll be able to escape the chaos for a little while, and hang out with some of my best friends.

Last weekend I got to see my roommate and we went to in'n'out together, and this weekend I get to see my roommate from last year, and go to disneyland with her!

Well continuing in the realm of fantasy, I just read a great book called "Austenland" by Shannon Hale, it was phenomenal, it was a cute, short read about a woman who finds herself so wrapped in the idea of a Jane Austen romance that she doesn't seem to be able to hold up in any real relationships. Well one of her great aunts visits her, and pinpoints exactly what she is doing, and then she passes away, and leaves in her will that the girl is supposed to take a trip to this place where they act like they are living in the 19th century, and they have actors, and give you a wardrobe, and it transports you to another world. Well lets just say she gets a little closer to some of the actors, and doesn't know what is reality or just part of the package. Its a very good novel, and I would definitely recommend it to all hopeless romantics out there waiting for their own mr. Darcy to come into thieir lives. I absolutely loved it, and wished a place like "Austenland" really did exist.
Well lovelies, have a beautiful weekend, and i hope theres a little bit of fantasy, or childlike magic in it for you. I'll enjoy a ride or two for all of you!!
xoxo
