I'm back!

Yeah, I’m fine, I’m alive, thanks for asking every one! Ha ha ha!
Sooo, I’m back kind of from hell although I didn’t move, it’s just that the hell moved! I mean it’s gone from my life for now! Good news all around! I have been busy with selecting classes for this quarter; have turned in a couple of sets of homework and attended one lab session (on mold and fungi in air! Such a fun subject! Don’t you like it?!). Yes, and yesterday best of the best things happened and I got my admission for grad school (that waiting and stressing and nightmares? That was the hell I mentioned!). Now I just have a couple of more impossible tasks to achieve like enroll in three classes and have them counted for credit in my Master. Ah, well, I’m working on it!
Aside from all these fun stuff I was going through, I was able to finish “the Mediator” series. Yeah, Jess became alive and he and Suze lived happily ever after.
Another book from Meg Cabot I finished was “Size 14 is not fat either”. Ok, Heather solved another murder case in Death Dorm and found a cute Calculus instructor to keep her warm instead of Cooper. Why he doesn’t date her and ends this series is beyond me! It is the second book of the series and I am tired of Heather and her endless complains and her low self esteem about her weight problem. She is just so irresponsible! She keeps eating and eating and eating and then worries that she has gone up a size? Give me a break! It’s like this, the other day I saw an over weight lady (one of the staff in college) going back to her office carrying one coffee, two large muffins and a bagel! I assume (and by one cup of coffee, I assume right!) that those were her snacks (in worse case scenario there is a %50 chance that they were). Ok, I’m asking you; what normal person can eat all that and not gain weight?! You know I’m not against eating sweets or cakes for that matter, just keep in moderation when you eat! Is it too much to ask? Or these people have no self control? I can understand sometimes a pastry is too delicious to pass, a cake is the fluffiest lightest best cake ever… so you eat, worse you make a pig of yourself, you go for second and third, hell; you even finish it all by yourself (happened to me in case of a large marble cake with cream cheese for filling, three types of cream cheese and a thick layer of chocolate cream on top! Ooh, heaven!!) But not always!!! I mean you don’t (can’t! shouldn’t!!) make a habit of it! Or if you have a large Muffin with your coffee at six in the afternoon, you better skip dinner (how can you eat after that, I wonder?! You would be so full!) Anyway I think Heather is tiresome and if she doesn’t do something about her eating habits, she’s going to have a stroke soon!
I read “The Big Over Easy” by Jasper Fforde. I love this guy! He is a genius, have I told you before? Jack Spratt in Nursery Crime Division is my hero! I like him much more than Thursday Next. He is more real and his flaws are endearing.
What else did I read? I can’t remember. Ok, I finished “Touch the Dark” by Karen Chance. First book in the series. Love the heroin, loved those vampires and that ghost character is just plain cute! Can’t wait for the second book “Claimed by Shadow”. It is out but I couldn’t find it in the book store.
I read one of the books in “Wicked woman” series. Not worth mentioning, very cheesy indeed!
Oh, yes! The story of Edward and Bella in “Twilight” and “New Moon” by Stephenie Meyer. Bella is this klutz who always ends up in trouble and Edward the gorgeous seventeen (and one hundred) years old vampire falls in love with her. He thirsts for her blood but loves her so much that he promises to stay beside her as she ages. Question is why he loves her, no apparent reason except the smell of her blood! And he can not read her mind either. Is it reason enough to love? I give her this, she is warm hearted and very kind and friendly but antisocial too! She didn’t want to make friends in her new school; she just wanted to be ignored. Yeah, ignored by humans and cold toward them, but warm and fuzzy with monsters! She admits it herself, she is a freak! Ok! And Edward?!! Ooh, too much Romeo and Juliet for my taste, head over heels and all that stuff but why? Has anyone asked the author why should we believe these artificial characters? But I confess I like Edward’s family, His mom and Alice are very nice and yes; I’m in love with Charlise his vampire father. He is so dreamy! Yum! Right now they have survived an attack from a crazy hunter and his mate and six months of separation, a couple of suicide attempts (mainly on Edward’s side) and a face-to-face with vampire royalty. Yeah, add to that a pack of teenage werewolves (specially one lovesick Jake, poor puppy!), some high school dramatic friends, an angry father, and an irresponsible mother! Sweet!! So when is the next one out?
Nothing special in chocolate-land, just one new bar of “Dove” dark chocolate filled with coffee crunches. Kind of sweet for my taste but yum all the same!

Shopping, yes; shopping. I went out shopping with a friend the weekend before last. Four beautiful t-Shirt/tops were purchased (ha! By me of course), Pre-ordered cosmetics were picked, and 3-4 hours were spend in fun. Then a couple of days after that I received a package from my parents full of beautiful clothes! Dear hubby was looking at closet thinking how I’m going to fit everything in! I managed it though, no worries!
