The three B's...
1. Birthday Month!
2. Books
3. Bucket List.
First... and most important... Birthday Month!!!!!!!!! It starts officially in less that 4 hours. :) I love birthday month. I've already got birthday month ideas like: sleeping in one day; indulging in a massage; going to the hair salon for a way over do trim; getting a pedicure; treating myself to a yummy cheeseburger; sneaking in a little Everything But The... Ben & Jerry's; going to see movies like "The Help", "Harry Potter", "Captain America", "Cowboys & Aliens", etc. (if you're around and want to come along let me know); buying myself some cute new earrings and maybe even a new work shirt or two; and more! I hope I can squeeze it all in!!
Now, on to the books! I am bored with what I've come across recently. There have been a few enjoyable ones like "The Help" and "The Hunger Games" series smattered in a lump of predictable blah. I haven't even come across any enjoyable 'beach reads'. HELP ME!!! I'm open to pretty much anything and currently taking suggestions.
Lastly... my bucket list. I have one for South Carolina, but I want to really hone one for my life. Here's what I have so far.. in NO particular order:
