In my last post I mentioned my excitement in reading The Origin of Species by Darwin. I also mentioned that, "...It's quite a thick book..."
What I meant to say that it is a REALLY thick book.
913 pages.
Although It does also include the book, The Voyage of the Beagle.
Wish me luck.

Two in a row
I apologize for the last post that was pretty sappy... I guess that's what happens when I leave my blog open.
I've had two days off in a row this week, which is pretty great.
I think I like my new job, but it's just been kinda overwhelming and I was so happy to have days off, I almost cried. Literally. Don't be alarmed, I just get overwhelmed easily with new jobs. But that could be a whole different blog post, that no one would enjoy reading.
Yesterday I was able to catch up with a dear friend of mine I've known for most of my life over lunch at Cafe Zupas {have I blogged about Zupas before? I can't remember. but I love it.} and did other random things.
Today I went to go pick up my library book that I had placed a hold on {Mere Christianity- C.S. Lewis} but it wasn't quite ready yet and somewhere floating around the 5 story library. I tried to beat the system and just get it from the shelf, but it was already gone. So, instead I got Miracles by C.S. Lews, and another of which I'm pretty excited about, because I've been wanting to read it for years now: The Origin of Species by Charles Darwin. It's quite a thick book, but I'm ready for it. It'll probably take me about a year to read it, if I'm interested enough in finishing it.
I use an app from Goodreads which helps me to keep track of books I want to read. There is also another website I found through Pinterest that I want to take advantage of, which is What Should I Read Next? You type in a book you've read and enjoyed, and it gives a list of suggestions of other books you might like. awesome.
I'm also finishing a small "project" (more like a paint job) today finally, so I'll soon be sharing pictures of the before and after.
Happy Tuesday.

Let's get this over with.
In case you haven't noticed, "Eat, Pray, Love" has been on my side bar for way too long. --->
I've been reading it on and off for months, between semesters and all...and I've already caved and watched the movie. It's a great book, I'm really enjoying it (it does have a few boring parts, I do have to say) but its about time I finish it.
I think today is the day.
