It's Finally Here!!!

My passport is finally here!!!!!!! I cannot believe what a hassle it was to get this small booklet; or that it held so much power over me, but ANYWAY, it's here and now I can actually start planning my vacation to Europe! I am thinking I can go next month or at the latest in mid-November. I'll start working on that and getting stuff together this week. A co-worker is already creating a letter for me to verify employment, so I can send it to whom it may concern when the time comes.

I have a couple of days off from work coming up as well this week and next week. It will be nice to sit and relax a little, but I have a ton of crap to sort out around the house. Prepping with fall and winter and stuff (blah!) - moving things from closets, etc. I can't wait. Yay. =/

Break

I need a vacation!

I have been slaving at school for the past 10 weeks and all I can say is: I need a break. I have no energy, no willpower, no motivation left. Nothing. I'm seriously considering taking the rest of the year off, but of course, it would affect my financial aid and blah-dee-blah, so I can't. I won't. I have to keep reminding myself of the light at the end of the 10 month long tunnel and hope I will make it through to the end. Big Sigh!!!

Ok, enough of that.

This week, I'm off from school, off of work on Thursday and next Monday, so I get to catch up on stuff I need to do at home. Maybe I can revise my schedule to include 7 days of cuddly moments with the husband, a few days at the gym, maybe a night a week w/ my girls whom I miss TERRIBLY, and perhaps a day to relax watching TV? We'll see how it plays. 

I started a new J.D. Robb today and if you're not following my ReadOlogy, you should be (:p). Granted, right now, it's mostly reviews about her books, but I only have a couple more before I'm fully caught up with the series (bitter sweet). After which, I will be back to reading more random stuff and catching up on other series. Who's read something fun lately? I don't like non-fiction, and I hate, hate, HATE, tearjerkers!!! There's enough sadness in the world for me to be reading about it for days. I want something I can laugh at, or some other randomness that will transport me into another reality. It has to be well written sooo, sorry 50  Shades, but you're out... Auf Wiedersehen! I'll be taking suggestions :)



I actually have also started another book on my Nook "Heat Rising" by Richard Castle (yes, the one from TV). I know it sounds really weird, but they ended up actually writing the books mentioned in the TV show, which if you've watched, will make the books even more hilarious. This is the third installment of Nikki Heat crime novels and I barely started. Honestly, I haven't even read 10 pages yet, but it's nice to already have a face for all the main characters. I am excited about the show returning tonight and I hope it's a good season. I also hope they don't make it all about the romance (ugh), and that it returns to a fun, hilarious, cop show like it was in its first couple of seasons.

It's just about time for me to start my work week so, have a great week everyone!
