Brain Dump

Nothing really big is going on so I decided to do a brain dump:

I just got commissioned to do my first scrapbook...I am going to get paid to do a scrapbook!!!  I can't believe it!!!

I am also in the process of planning my cousins wedding.  I have goals set up for every month.  Next Monday I am going to my best friends store to pick out centerpieces for my cousin (I have a great friend who is in the wedding business.  That is how I got chair covers and table runners free for my wedding.) and yes I do have free range and am planning 98% of this wedding.

I am currently making Peanut Butter cake (I am waiting for it to cool before I frost it) and it smells so good.  It is just a recipe I googled from "Taste of Homes" if you are curious and the title of the recipe is double peanut butter cake. 

I just bought this book today:



and I can't wait to start it.  I was going to download it from my ipad, but I found a better deal at a local bookstore so I decided to buy it in actual book form.  I like it better than ereaders...I really do.


I have to finish this book first:




and I am like 30ish pages from being done.  I hope to finish it tonight so I can start my new one.



BTW-I wonder who is the person responsible for doing cover art.  Because sometimes they really suck at it.  (Is it just me that thinks this?) For example-the book above is about an autistic boy who may or may not of committed murder.  But the story opens with the boy being 18 and he is 18 through the entire story.  SOOOOOO, why is there a young boy playing in the sand by a lake?????  Also the story is set in Vermont in the winter time.  So why young-boy-in-shorts by a lake (a lake is not really mentioned in the book....there is a really small non-important part about his brother walking by a lake that is frozen over and people are ice skating on it...but it really has nothing to do with the story)

So, wtf????  This is the worst book jacket.  Any picture of any model about 18 would of worked way better than this or if the author wants you to imagine what Jacob looks like anything else that is related to the story is better than this.....

anyways-I just hate stupid books jackets.  I could do a way better job!!!!!!

-end rant-




I have really wanted a day at home during this vacation, but I have had a errand come up every singe day!  I have one tomorrow too....boo hoo!



Well, excited for a relaxing weekend, I hope!
