10 Day You Challenge-BOOKS

Happy Tuesday. I'm attempting to get back into the swing of things after a 4 day weekend. I can only imagine how many post it notes are sitting on my desk today, ugh! I'm also been trying to get used to this new Mac operating system. I'm a creature of habit and I don't like change! Hopefully it won't take to long. 



I should probably read more then I do. I am a book brat. However, when I love a book its usually finished in a few short days. Then I mope around for a few days because its over!


1.
Mr. Maybe by Jane Green
Mr Maybe
I loved this book! She writes in the perspective of a young, 20 something who isn't perfect and trying to find love. Another one I'm going to sneak in is Straight Talking!




2.
Dispaches From The Edge by Anderson Cooper


Dispatches From the Edge
This book AMAZED me in so many ways. I have a monster crush on AC but this was so well written. I even went to the book opening  and had him sign a copy!




3. The Catcher in the Rye, JD Salinger




4.
Jane Eyre, Charlotte Bronte


Jane Eyre
This was one of the first books I remember really loving in high school.




5.
The Help,  Kathryn Stockett


The Help
This is the one next on my reading list!




What have you been reading lately?

10 Day You Challenge

Day 3, ok today I promise there will be no ass typos...Hope you all got a good chuckle out of that one :)
This one lacks some pictures. I've been super busy with a work project and been feeling under the weather. I can't seem to sleep enough. Add all this together and I haven't had time or the desire to blog the passed few days.


(1) AIRPLANES- Ugh, the world gets me sick. I give myself panic attacks before flying. Our last flight was during a terrible storm and it only made my fear worse. Power went out on the plane, the plane rocked back and forth for about an hour. We circled Newark because there was no where for us to land. Its so bad I don't think we are flying anywhere on our honeymoon. I can't take the added stress

(2) CLOWNS, GROSS!

(3) The NYS Budget Crisis, especially working at a NY non profit, yikes

(4) Being a good enough mom when we have children.

(5) The Wedding! No matter how wonderful its going to be it still freaks me out.

(6) Gaining all the weight back :(

(7) That my brother and I will never make up and talk again.

(8)  Bridges, I hate driving over water. Especially when they are really high.

How about you guys???

10 Day You Challenge

Found this from Brittany It seems no one knows where this little guy originated but if any of you know do tell so we can credit them







DAY ONE. 
ten secrets.

{ 1 } I hold a terrible grudge. If you wrong me. I will probably never forgive you.

{ 2 } I am a klutz. I trip over my own feet on a daily basis. I've broken lots of bones.

{ 3 } I'm pretty handy around the house. I just can't hang a straight picture to save my life.

{ 4 } I'm a control FREAK. I like things done my way so often I do things on my own. 


{ 5 } I had a gut feeling that Bri was going to be the man I would marry about 3 dates into our relationship.

{ 6 } I have a ridiculous fear of flying and clowns. 

{ 7 } For many years I was addicted to shopping. I would use it to make myself feel better and hide a lot of purchases b/c I was a bit embarrassed. 

{ 8 } I am very uncomfortable with my body. I often scan the room or crowds for people heavier then me. So I don't feel like the biggest person in the room.

{ 9 } I'm not very trusting (I've been burnt many times) Most people need to win my trust. I don't give it freely.

{ 10 } I don't like working out. Probably why #8 is there too. I want to like it but I would much rather blog, or drink coffee!

Your turn! I would love to read your posts.
