Book 54 is done...and I've been bawling. =(

Such a sad ending to such an AMAZING book and now I have to wait until May 27th for the next book to come out. I just finished reading "Tempted" House of Night Series by P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast. It was such a GREAT book, that I couldn't put it down. I cried several times in the book. The ending was the most that made me cry. I'm so confused also on what's going to happen next. I cried for Zoey and even Stark. I've seriously gotten into this series and I really can't wait for the next book to be out. I'm so pissed about Kalona and Neferet. Grrrr!! I could've gone through the book and smacked the crap out of both of them. I also found something really weird in the book that had me in shock. Wow!!! P.C. Cast threw me off. LOL That's why she's one of my FAVE authors. =) Ahhhhh! I have to wait until May now. Oh well, it's on to my other books that I've put on the back burner. I need to read "Covet" by J.R. Ward now and I'm also waiting on my next book from the Morganville Vampire Series "Fade Out" by Rachel Caine. Let me not forget "Shadowland" comes out November 17th. I'm really looking forward to that book too. Wow...I have so many series I've gotten into it, how can I keep up with them? =) Well...here's to waiting for "Burned" to come out May 27th. ***Sad Face*** I'll have to read the HoN series again before then. This series I'll definitely never get tired of reading over and over again. I love all the characters and I'm so glad about what happened between Erik and Zoey in "Tempted". Happy Halloween everyone!! I'll be posting pics of my beautiful little girl in her Barbie Genie costume as soon as I can. It's back to work for me tomorrow morning for just 3 days and then surgery on Wednesday. XOXO, FranJessca

Books 52 & 53...Done!! =)

Okay, I finished "Untamed" and "Hunted" from the House of Night Series by P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast. "Untamed" I finished yesterday evening and "Hunted" I finished this afternoon. It was my 2nd time reading both books....and of course I didn't put them down at all. =) I love both of those books. So here it is I'm now reading "Tempted" and I'm trying to savor the book since the next book is due out in May. Plus, I need to get ready for Halloween tomorrow. LOL Alexia gets to wear her costume to Ballet tomorrow morning. We're also going to have our Girl's Day Out tomorrow since it's going to be REALLy Beautiful. It's Lunch and a Movie with my Baby girl tomorrow. We're also going to have Breakfast after Ballet, like we always do. I can't wait to spend the day with my beautiful little girl tomorrow. The evening time, Alexia will be dressed up in her Barbie Genie costume and Mommy will be dressed up in her Sexy Vampire Costume. Daddy will be passing out the candy. We'll see though, he probably won't let this Mommy out the door. =) Sorry I'm not talking about the books, but I know several people who are reading the books now and I don't want to spoil it for them. I really can't wait to see how "Tempted" is. I've waited several days since I got it in the mail and now it's here and I'm SUPER DUPER excited!!! XOXO, FranJessca P.S. Now it's onto my next goal into Reading. I've read 53 books since May of this year and now I have to read 47 more to May of 2010. =) I know I'll read more than that though. =)

Books 50 & 51 Complete...I've been busy Reading. =)

Okay so I had some time on my hands and I really had a hard time going to bed last night because I just got off working Mids and my body is still adjusting. I'm used to sleeping during the day and working at night. Now though I have switch. I have to sleep at night and work during the day. I have three days of day shift starting on Sunday and then next Wednesday I go in for my surgery. I re-read, two books last night and this morning since my new book came in yesterday and I don't really want to read it until I re-read the old ones. The last time I read these books were in May and you have to understand that I've read a lot of books since then. =) I read "Betrayed" and "Chosen" The House of Night Series by P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast. I could not put the books down again. I love this series. =) I'm now on to reading "Untamed" again and after that I'll read "Hunted' again. Then it's on to the new book for the series "Tempted" which I'm having a hard time holding off, but I've been reading two books a day with the series. I can't wait to read "Tempted". =) Also, P.C. Cast announced that "Burned" the 7th book to the House of Night Series will be out May 27th, 2010. How many books are in this series? There's going to be 12 and I can't wait!! =) I can't wait to see what the authors did in the book "Tempted". So it's back to cooking dinner for now and later I'll try to finish "Untamed" and start on "Hunted". I'm such a book worm. Although, this will what I will be doing on my Con-leave since I won't be able to do anything strenuous for 14 days. That's okay by me though. XOXO, FranJessca

Book 49 is Done!!! =)

Another Book down and I'm almost reached my Goal for 2009. =) "Carpe Corpus" The Morganville Vampire Series by Rachel Caine. The last book to the series until November 3rd when the next book comes out. It's not a long wait for me, thank goodness. =) "Carpe Corpus" ended with a happy ending, but that doesn't mean anything in Morganville, Texas. It also ended with a twist which I hope the author talks more into detail in next book. I'm so happy for the main character, Claire. She ended up happy with Shane, for now at least. Although, there was something that happened in this book that I was upset about. =( This is going to be short blog entry again...it's hectic right now and tonight is my last night on Mids and I'll have 4 days off. =) Gotta love having those days off. I'm reading "Covet" by J.R. Ward now and also trying to read the 2nd book to HoN again "Betrayed" by P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast. The next book to the HoN series is on the way for me and I can't wait...."Tempted". I'm so looking forward to reading that book. XOXO, FranJessca

Book 48 is Done =)

I finished yet another book. It was only 230 something pages so it didn't take me very long. I started it last night at work, or I should say early this morning when I was working. "Lord of Misrule" The Morganville Vampire Series by Rachel Caine...is the 5th book to the Series. I never really discussed what was behind the books...so I'll explain a little bit. Morganville, Texas is a town that looks normal at first, but underneath it's run by Vampires. The Vampires are in charge of pretty much everything. Claire ends up attending college in the town because her parents don't want her far away just yet. She's graduates high school early so she's only 16 when she leaves her parents house. She is never liked at her school and she makes enemies with some of the girls who are out to actually kill her. She eventually decides to move out of the dorm for her safety and ends up living with three 18 year olds in a house. She finds out that nothing is what it seems and she eventually learns the truth about the house, it's inhabitants and what actually is going on around town. I won't go into more detail that that, other than now chaos has happened between the vampires and humans. I'm moving on to the 6th book now which is picking up from the 5th book. I love how Rachel Caine leaves you hanging on the end of each book and the next book picks it up from she left it. The 6th book is the last for right now until November 3rd rolls around...when the 7th book will be out. =) That's not a long wait at all for me...until I finish the 7th book within a day. Although, I don't think will happen since I have my surgery on the 4th. We'll see though. I only have two more books to reach my goal...but that doesn't mean I'll stop. I've decided now I'll keep counting on until next May when I first started reading. My goal now after I reach 50 will be to reach 100 by May 2010. =) Maybe even more than that, depending on how my work schedule is and life period for me. Hope everyone is having a GREAT weekend. I'm working Mids...but I get 4 days off after Tuesday's Mids. Wed-Sat, I'll be off. Which is GREAT!!! XOXO, FranJessca

Book 47...Done! =)

Well, I completed another book today. =) "Feast of Fools" The Morganville Vampires Series by Rachel Caine. Of course again it wasn't very long at all. The series is getting even more interesting, like I stated before. It has fallen into a different twist and I love it!! I love the fact the author leaves you hanging at the end of each book. =) I'm going to start reading the next book in the series at work tonight when there's nothing else to do. Sorry for the short blog again, but it's time to get ready for work. Have to be in early for inventory. XOXO, FranJessca

Book 46....Complete. =)

Well it's late in the evening, or early in the morning, I should say. I just finished my 46th book... "Midnight Alley: The Morganville Vampires Series" by Rachel Caine. The books keep getting more interesting. =) I stayed up late because I'm shifting to Mids this evening at 2145. Trying to get my body ready to sleep during the day and work during the night. It's only for 5 days...so tonight will be my Monday. I had to finish a book before my shift starts up again. =) Plus, I have been waiting for these books for awhile to come from Barnes & Noble. I ordered them online, hoping they would get here quicker...which they didn't. Oh, well...I have them now and I'm reading them back to back. Sorry this is short, I'm not going into detail on what I thought about the book. All I can say is...I didn't put it down, except to fold laundry. That should tell you something. =) Hope everyone is sleeping well. I shall be hitting the pillow in a couple of hours to sleep the day away. =) I feel like I am a Vampire when I have to work the Mid Shift. My own daughter, thinks I'm going to turn into a Vampire anyways thanks to my Vampire costume I got this year for Halloween. I have to remember not to wear the plastic fangs around her because she does get scared. Night Everyone! =) XOXO, FranJessca

My results to my Biopsy

I finally found out the results to my biopsy this morning and let me tell you I'm very relieved. The biopsy came back to show the lumps in my left breast were in deed benign. They are specifically called Fibroadenoma. They are normal to develop in women under the age of 30. I scheduled for my Surgery on the 4th to have them finally removed. I did my Pre-op today to be prepare for it. I will have 14 days of Con-Leave after the surgery is done so I can heal. I let my work know ahead of time and tomorrow evening when I go to work I'll be filling out a blank leave chit to prepare ahead of time. My amazing and loving hubby will be taking me to the hospital on the 4th and bringing me home afterwards. He's glad to have found out the results too today. He was just as relieved as me. I'm so glad everything came back good for me and now I can move on after this to take care of other medical issues. =) Of course I'm not looking forward to this surgery, but glad to finally get these darn lumps removed. XOXO, FranJessca

I'm a Computer Nerd and Darn proud of it. =)

Am I crazy for being excited that Windows 7 is out? OMG!!! It's about friggin' time. LOL I've waited for so long for Windows to finally come out with something to replace Vista. Who ever thought of Vista really needs to get fired. Let's have a operating system come out that eats all your RAM up and won't let you open up too many programs. Yeah...smart move! Let's hope Windows 7 is better than VISTA. Which my fellow IT buddies, say the Beta Version proves it is better. How I wish I would've got a hold of Windows 7 before it came out to try it out. I can't wait now to get my new computer. Yes every two-three years, I happen to get a new computer. If you haven't noticed once you buy a computer it's obsolete the next day because the Computer geniuses come out with something better. =) I love that Technology will never die and I'm glad everyday I work in that field. Okay, the question I've been asked by non-IT's is why don't I own a MAC? Haha...are you kidding me. Why would I? MAC's don't do networking like PCs do. MACs can viruses to and have problems with them. I know several hackers that can penetrate a MAC and laugh about it. I can fix my own computer and prevent anything from harming it. I have my XP laptop that I've had since 2004...and NO issues. =) I have my Vista Laptop, I've had since 2007, yes it has issues, but it's still going and issues weren't because viruses and such...it's because whoever brought it out didn't test the program all the way and it had major bugs that needed to be fixed. That's what technology is all about though. Coming up with something better to replace the old. It's GREAT!!! I'm such a Computer Geek, but would you blame me. I work in the industry. I love everything about computers. Whenever software issues happen, I'm there to fix it and make it all better. I'm still learning about the hardware though. I'm such a "GIDDY" IT right now. Can't wait to order my new computer in the VERY near future. I'm thinking about getting a Desktop this time, but unfortunately I love laptops WAY too much. I can carry them everywhere and I also have a internet connection that's with me all the time 24/7. Thanks to Verizon Broadband (Aircard). I can be in the passenger seat heading out of town and still manage to get on the internet. Gotta Love Technology!! So once I order my new computer, I'll make sure to make a Blog entry and Brag about Windows 7. I love everything about Technology!! XOXO, FranJessca

A Re-Read...but it still counts...Book 45 Done

I had to re-read a book because it's been since May that I read the book. It felt like I had never read it though before. "Marked" the first book to the House of Night Series. I read it back in May and couldn't put it down and again it was the same thing the 2nd time. I had a hard time putting it down. =) I'm going to hold off on re-reading the other books because I just got the Morganville Vampire Series books in from Barnes and Noble that I wanted. I should be able to finish those real quick, unless, my job gets hectic like it usually does. Halloween is around the corner so I'm trying to prepare for that. I also find out my results to my biopsy tomorrow. Keeping my fingers crossed. Sorry for the short blog...but since I already read the book...I won't go into details. It's dinner time anyway. XOXO, FranJessca

Drum Roll Please...Because I just finished Book 44

I just keep rolling through these books like nothing. =) Just finished my 44th book...."The Dead Girl's Dance" by Rachel Caine from her Morganville Vampires Series. This Series is AWESOME! Yes, it's about vampires and yes I have a minor obsession with Vampires right now, but not because of the Twilight Series. You could say Anne Rice made me like Vampires back when I read her books in High School. I have to re-read her books as soon as I'm done reading all the books I just recently bought. =) The Morganville Vampire Series has a different twist to Vampires. No, there's no sparkly looking vampires, but their is "Protection" from them. You'll just have to read the books to find out. I just ordered the rest of the books off of Barnes and Noble today and now I have to wait until I get those books in the mail. I'm very impatient so I'll just read another book until then. =) Hope everyone had a GREAT weekend. I know I had to work, but I get my 96 hours off starting Tuesday. Wahoo!!! Night Everyone!

Ahem...Book 43 is done

I finished book 43 this morning. I can't really type as much as I want since I have to hurry and get ready for work this morning. I have training two hours before my shift start. Blah! The Life of a Navy "IT" Sailor is always strenuous. Oh well, I don't mind getting more training because technology is always changing. =) Oh and at least I get to wear civilian clothes today since "Civilian Clothes Day" at work. How awesome is that? =) The book I just finished is from Rachel Caine's The Morganville Vampires Series "Glass Houses". It was a VERY Good book. It was short and that is why I was able to read it so quickly. I can't wait to read the next one. Sorry again, if this is short. I promise to go more in detail this evening once I get off of work. =) Hope everyone has a TERRIFIC Friday. Today is more like my Tuesday. XOXO, FranJessca

I'm getting a signed copy to: Deep Kiss of Winter

I'm BEYOND excited. I can't make any of the Book signing tours and I was so glad when Gena Showalter announced this on her blog, that anyone could get a signed copy of the Deep Kiss of Winter with Kresley Cole & Gena Showalter's signatures. Yes, I'm jumping for joy, since Gena Showalter is a TOP fave of mine. I'm about to start reading another series she has written. My husband is excited for me too, since he knows how much I love reading. This book will be put in a special place in my house. =) I'll also make sure to brag about it alot and show it off to everyone who comes to my house. I'll make sure to take a picture of it once I get it. I want to eventually meet Gena Showalter in person and every other author who adore. Anne Rice, P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast, Richelle Mead, Melissa De La Cruz, L.J. Smith, J.R. Ward, and much more. I can't name them all right now.

Hi I'm Fran...and I'm addicted to Reading. LOL Finished Book 42 already. =)

Okay..I'm a little obsessed. Although, my husband will say I'm OVER-OBSESSED with reading. I told him I wanted to finish the book I was reading today and I did. Once I set up a goal...I stick with it. I finished the 2nd book to "The Secret Circle: Captive Part II & The Power" by L.J. Smith. I was so HAPPY about the ending. Although, it has me wondering if L.J. Smith left it off for a reason. =) Maybe, maybe not. We'll see though. L.J. Smith is definitely one of my favorite authors. After reading so many different books from her, I really can't wait until her next books come out. I was glad to get away from Vampires for awhile. Now it looks like though, I'll be back to reading Vampires. I pick up a few more books from Barnes and Noble this afternoon. I'm trying to get all 17 books of the Anita Blake Series before I read them. I want to be able to go back to back with those books without stopping. I'm really excited for October 27th though. P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast are bringing out the 6th book to the House of Night Series. =) I'm jumping for joy and then P.C. Cast announce she's going to be working on the 7th book now. She's visiting Scotland for it. A place I really can't wait to visit once I'm out of the Navy. I can't wait to see where my Husband was born. I wouldn't mind living there. =) The pictures that P.C. Cast has posted to her blog are beautiful. So what am I going to read next. I have a toss up between the "Covet: Fallen Angels Series" by J.R. Ward or "Glass Houses:The Morganville Vampires Series" by Rachel Caine. I can't decide which one though. J.R. Ward is my FAVE author next to Anne Rice of course. "Covet" is different from her other books. "Glass Houses" has me intrigued there's 6 books to the series so far and the 7th book comes out next book. Ahhh...which one to choose. "Covet" which is the first book to the series or start a long series. I'll decide this evening, hopefully. Hope everyone is having a GREAT Wednesday. I'm back to work tomorrow afternoon for 5 days.

I'm done with Book 41

Yes, I'm already done with Book 41. "The Secret Circle: The Initiation & The Captive Part I" by L.J. Smith. It wasn't a very long book at all. I could have finished it yesterday evening, but was exhausted and had to go to bed early for my doctor's appointment this morning. This book is now about Witches. Not Vampires, not psychics, and definitely not lords. Just about witches, finally. =) I can't seem to put this book down either. There's a lot of characters in this book. I'm moving onto the 2nd book "The Secret Circle: The Captive Part II and The Power". I'll hopefully have it done by tomorrow or Thursday morning. I go back to work on Thursday afternoon for 5 days and then 96 hours off. Gotta love this schedule I'm on. =) First though, I'm going to take a break from reading and try to edit some photos. Hope everyone is having a GREAT week. I know I am. =) Just 9 more books to reach my Goal. =) Next year I'll have a higher goal. Once I'm done reading 50 books...I'll post a blog of all the books I read. =)

Our New Family Member.... "Rambo"

Meet our New Little Family Member...who is going to be BIG once he's fully grown. He's a Cane Corso or otherwise known as a Italian Mastiff. He's only 8 weeks old and has our hearts already. He's going to be our Little Protector. My youngest stepson, Gareth, named the puppy "Rambo". The puppy's Great Great Grandfather's name. =) This photo was taken the day that we picked him up from the Breeders. I have way more photos of him, but this is one of my favorites. This photo was also taken with my new lense...that I LOVE!!! More photos to come later on of our new little family member. Welcome to the Papillion Family, Rambo! =)

Book 40 Done.... =)

I finished Book 40 last night around 11:30 pm. I had a hard time putting it down. I had to finish it since it has taken me awhile to read it. When I got my last book that I read, I put this book on hold to read the other one. "Dark Visions" by L.J. Smith....The same author who wrote "Vampire Diaries Series" and "Night World Series". "Dark Visions" is a story of psychics who have different powers. One can see the future by drawing it, one can move things with his mind, one can talk to animals and control them and the other can suck life energy out of you like a vampire, but instead of blood, your energy is drained...he also can talk to you in your mind. It definitely was a different book and I didn't like some of the book at first, but towards the end I had a hard time putting the book down. I was so glad on how it ended and who the main girl hooked up with after she finally realized who she was in love with. I won't go into too much of the book. My next books are written by L.J. Smith too. I want to read all the books she's written since I enjoyed reading the Vampire Diaries back in June. She's an amazing author. I'm glad I finally got a sneak peek to the last book of the Night World Series "Strange Fate". I can't wait for that book to come out in April of next year. =) On to my next book a little later...right now though, it's time to edit some photos of my puppy that we just got. I'll post a blog entry of our new family member as soon as I get a chance. Hope everyone is having a GREAT Columbus Day. =)

Book 39 Complete... =)

Okay...it's taking me awhile to finish books now since my work schedule got a little hectic. Also because of my biopsy last week. I'm still sore from it. =( I finished reading the "Van Alen Legacy" by Melissa De La Cruz last night. It was the book I was waiting for my Book List at the bottom. It came out in the stores on the 6th and I got it in the mail on the 7th. Yes, it took me only 2 days to read it...and I consider that a long time. I'm also currently reading another book which is much bigger. I had to put that book down to read the "Van Alen Legacy" though. =) The 4th book to the Blue Blood Series. I love this Series because it's so much different from all the other Vampire Books I've read. The author actually explains on how vampires came to be in her Series. My favorite characters are Schluyer and Jack. I won't go into too much depth on the series since I don't want to ruin it...but I'm so glad on how the author ended this book. =) I can't wait now to see how the next book will be like. It comes out Fall of 2010. =) Now back to reading my other book. My goal is to finish hopefully to my 45th book this month...if not then 43. Sorry this is going to be short, but the Gators are playing and of course I'm going to focus on the game. I love my GATORS!!! =) GO GATORS!!!

Today's a GREAT day!!

Today's my Mommy's Birthday!!! So of course it's a GREAT Day!! =) HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOM!!! I love you So Much!!! Wish I could be there with you to help celebrate it. I would take you out to Red Lobster or if you were out here I would get you some Steamed Crabs since I know they are your FAVE and I would bake you a Chocolate Cake. =) Love you and Hope you have a GREAT one!!

IT CAME TODAY...I'm SO HAPPY!!!

Oh, yes...the day turned out perfectly. I may be in pain, but right now I don't care. "My BABY" came today. Hell YEAH!! Well, let's see, what could it be. =) I tried it out in June/July before I would purchase it and waited until October when I finally got my last Bonus check from the Navy and used some of it for my new "baby". It's my new Lense...my new bestfriend....my new love...and my FAVORITE Lense that I have ever played with. It maybe heavy...it may add about 5-7 more lbs to my already heavy camera...but I don't care. It's the lense I've waited for patiently. Believe me I have patience. =) The Nikkor 70-200mm AF-S VR 2.8G I'll post a pic of it once I can actually carry the thing. Right now I can't pick up anything over 5 lbs. =( I'm so excited...I just can't hide it. =) I'm being silly, I know..but after what happened to me this morning, I have a right to be. I also got my Halloween costume today in the mail. I'll post the link to what I got as soon as I can. Right now thought I'm taking it easy. I'm on 7 days light duty, can't pick up anything heavier than 5 lbs, no exercise and no prolong standing/walking. Hopefully, where my incisions are, I won't be too bruised. So that's my HAPPY news everyone. Now I'm waiting for my hubby to get me the Nikon D700. He surprised me the other day and said he wanted to get it for me. That way I will have the D300 for sports/highspeed action photography and D700 for Full Frame/Portraiture. I cannot wait!!! =) Life is GREAT right now, even though I'm in pain.

Tomorrow...(a day of being scared & a day of excitement)

Tomorrow is a scary day and an exciting day. Is that even possible in one day? With me, it is. In the morning I go in for my biopsy, something I have never been through. Of course it's procedure in my case to make sure what they found is benign, like the doctor told me, and not malignant. I'm scared of course..it's just natural of me since I hate these kind of procedures. The past month I have been through a lot and of course this was not something I was expecting. =( I'm keeping my hopes up, with what the doctor told me a week ago. My husband of course will be there with me every step of the way and I thank God everyday he's in my life. I love you, Phillip, always and forever! After my biopsy, I will come home and spend time with my family and go on until I get the results. I may just need surgery and that's it. I rather have what they found removed. I'll have to deal with the rest of my life, having to be checked by doctors to make sure. So on to other news...I rather not dwell on something that makes me upset. The exciting part of my day tomorrow is I'm getting something in the mail that I've wanted for awhile. I can't wait to see it, hold it, and test it out. I'm going to be the happiest whenever I receive the package and hopefully, I'll forget about what I went through in the morning time. I'll post a picture once I receive the package and announce what it is later on. I'm also going to announce the first book to my list at the bottom, that I'll be getting. Yes...one of my books I've been waiting for, will be in stores tomorrow. I can't wait to read it when I receive in the mail in the next few days. I didn't want to have to go to Barnes and Noble. I want the book at my doorstep. =) I can't wait to read it. My next book I'm waiting for will come out the end of this month. I can't wait! That's the updated news on me and how tomorrow will play out for me. I'll make sure to update on the results as soon as I get the them. I'm going to keep my head up tomorrow like I always do. Hope everyone is having a GREAT week. I'm back to work on Wednesday for 5 days and then again 96 hours off.

Book 38 is Done. =)

Well, I finished another book this morning. I chose to read "New Moon" again since the movie will be coming out November of next month and Yes, I'm counting down. =) I've been looking forward to this movie since they announced it last year that they would be working on the next book to the Twilight Series as a movie. After "Twilight" did so well at the Box Office, why wouldn't they continue on with the rest of the books. =) I went the opening night to see "Twilight" and actually kind of regretted it because I didn't get to enjoy the movie. All the screaming teenage girls and the theater was BEYOND packed. I had to see it again the following the night with my step-brother. I'm glad I got to enjoy it the 2nd time and I even got my step-brother hooked into the movie. He ended up buying the books to read them. He also went and saw the movie twice. Well, ahem...I went and saw the movie 4 times. LOL I even have my 4 year old daughter hooked to the movie. She's Team Jacob though and I'm Team Edward. Yes, my daughter is already boy crazy. I won't be going to the opening night to "New Moon" since my work schedule. Plus, I don't want to deal with the screaming again. It's bad enough last year before "Twilight", I took my princess to see "HSM3" and dealt with screaming girls then too and my daughter was one of them. LOL I won't be making the same mistake this year though. I'm going to be able to enjoy "New Moon" without screaming. Hubby even wants to go see the movie...even though, he won't read the books. He's not a reader like I am. Here I am...I have 12 more books to read until I reach my goal of 50. Next year, the number will be larger to read. I'll end up reading the books I read this past year though over again. I haven't read Twilight and New Moon since last year around this time...so it was time for a refresher. I won't read "Eclipse" until after I see "New Moon" a few times. Notice how I put a "Few times". =) "Eclipse" will be out June of next year and yes I'm counting down for that too. I can't wait. So I'm onto another book right now. Putting the rest of the Twilight Series on hold until further notice. I have already read the books, but I just want to refresh a bit before the movies come out. =) Hope everyone had an amazing weekend and had a GREAT week. I'm off until Wednesday morning and then I'm back to shift work for 5 days. 5 days on and 4 days off, its a SWEET deal. =)

It's October...Lots Going on. =)

I can't believe it's October. Where has the time gone? Why is the year flying by so fast? Guess because I'm counting down to the day I'm out of the Navy. =) Just 22 more more months now and Yes I'm counting. Hubby and I are looking forward to the day I get out. He's not liking my current work schedule right now since he hates sleeping alone. Poor Hubby! I'm used to it though since he's been on shift work for 2 years now and before then he was in the Navy. Alexia of course, doesn't like seeing Mommy put on her uniform in the evening time. Daddy can go to work at night, but of course not Mommy. My poor little girl, doesn't understand yet, but she'll get used to it eventually. I'm hoping of course. I keep reminding her, it's only for so long. What's going on this month? I'm getting used to shift work..which isn't that bad. I work 15 days out of the month. I work 5 days and have 4 days off afterwards. How Sweet is that? =) My off days I'm with my family, unless my hubby is working during that time. We're planning on making a trip to Maryland to see my family and hubby of course wants to travel to new places on my off days. Maybe Tennessee since he has family there and I've always wanted to go there. My Mom celebrates her birthday on the 9th and I wish I could be there with her to celebrate. My brother celebrates his birthday on the 29th...my brother is getting old. LOL Just kidding RD...your little sister loves you, no matter how you get! =) We'll be taking Alexia pumpkin picking on one of the days I have off and Daddy has off. I'll be decorating the house with Halloween stuff this weekend. We can't wait to take Alexia trick or treating on Halloween. =) She's going to be Genie Barbie and Mommy's going to be a Vampire...a sexy one. =) Hubby isn't into dressing up, but one of these years I'm going to make him. lol That's it for right now...I know I'm forgetting stuff that we'll be doing in October. I'll most likely be making a trip to Northern Virginia too. =) Hope Everyone had an AMAZING October! Countdown is getting shorter for Thanksgiving and Christmas. October is also the month I start shopping for Christmas Gifts. Can't wait!! =)
