me, posing with my backwards book. lol.

Wooooooooooooooo! I FINALLY got a copy of the book! None of the bookstores near me had it at all :( and I debated buying the Australian version (I like that cover better) but I decided paying a bunch more money simply for a different cover was silly. So then I decided to just buy it on amazon because I needed another item for free shipping. Then my order gets cancelled because the credit card I have on my amazon account was canceled (I use my dads and he got a new card because he lost the old one blahblah) sooo I had to order it again. And pay shipping because I just got the book this time :P

But yay! I’m so happy it came! I’ve been feeling more on the shitty side recently (long story short- I was totally crushing on some random guy who’s really nice to me at work and he’s new blahblah turns out he’s got a girlfriend. I work at a Target and we like to joke about finding a Target romance and such. -(Oh! Random side story: A few weeks ago I saw Kate and Alexis Gosslin when I was working (my Target is in PA) and SERVED THEM POPCORN!!! ZOMG! lol. I was totally shaking when I was scoping the popcorn into the bag- I am such a nerd. And my friend who works at Target was her cashier! Much spazzing ensued.)- Low self esteem and depressing feelings ensued after finding out and it sucked ass. To me it was an “It Figures” kind of moment. But I’ve been reading my book now and it’s really helping me to feel better. Especially the chapter about “Finding a good partner”. Obviously relevant to my young single self. And the fact that I happen to have it in my head that no one will ever find me attractive IRL because I’m fat. That does seem to be the one thing I can’t get over very well. And honestly I probably won’t get over it completely until I do find someone… *le sigh* I will probably re-read that chapter a lot.)

ANYWHO! 

Starting to feel better, like I said in the last paragraph shitty-ness ensued and I’m glad it’s going away. It also helped that I went to Hersheypark yesterday with my mom and uncle and cousin. That was fun. (haha another fun random fact: My uncle is Coco the Bear- he skates on the ice during Hershey Beat games and we got free tickets the one game we went to, which is why we went to the park today)…. (sorry if you aren’t from PA lol, a lot of PA-ness going on in this post). But I had fun, which lifted my spirits a bit. 

And in one week I’m leaving for a two week vacation in South Carolina (Hilton Head Island). Woooot! Vacation is much needed, since this summer I’m actually working a lot. I’m really looking foreward to going to the pool and being able to walk to the beach (they have really cute bicycle paths down there!) and taking some beach pictures! woot! It’ll just be nice to have a break.

Okay, well posting two days in a row is a lot for me, so hopefully these posts measure up lol. Hope everyone is doing well :) .

Now it’s time to get back to my reading lol! Even if it has taken my about two months after everyone else to get to read this.

(p.s. Kate and Marianne, you girls are amazing! I guess I’ll just say Thanks :) )
