5 on Friday

Before beginning to type this I was sitting on my bed staring at this white screen cursing myself for not jotting down those ideas I had earlier in the week because right now I feel fresh out of ideas to put down.

Okay, I'm still cursing myself.

Anyways I'm sure I'll come up with something once I get this party started.

{ONE} Remember this post about seventy-five in twenty fourteen? For a while it seemed like I wasn't interested in reading any more and hadn't really been making progress on my reading challenge. Now all of a sudden it's like I only want to read. I've managed to knock out 16 of 75 books but am still four books behind schedule. I'm sure I'll catch up in no time at the rate I'm going though. I'm reading number 17 and have number 18 on hand ready to go. Curious what I'm reading? Head on over to my GoodReads page to check it out.

{TWO} I am just 14 days away from a week long vacation to see my bestie in Maryland. Who has two thumbs and is super excited? This girl! As if visiting my best friend for a week wasn't enough we're also going to the Richmond International Raceway for the Toyota Owners 400 {NASCAR race} straight from the airport. I am beyond excited about this. Hurry up vacation!

{THREE} Speaking of a week long vacation, would anyone be interested in guest posting for me while I am gone?? The topic is open to whatever you want to share with us. Let me know if you're interested!

{FOUR} The weather in Wisconsin is finally getting its act together and it has been super nice. And yet I'm just not ready to put away the flannel sheets for the year. I put my cute and cuddly penguins on my bed for one last time this morning. We'll see how long this lasts before I'm too warm at night to even sleep.

{FIVE} I'm headed home this weekend {as I do every weekend} so I can see my sweet boy. Not seeing him every day is probably the hardest part since I moved out. I definitely try to make the most of my visits home but sometimes that darn pup just won't cooperate and let me smother him for hours.

And speaking of going home I better get moving if I want to pack anything to avoid having to stop at my apartment after work! Have a great weekend everyone!!

Seventy Five in Twenty Fourteen

Happy Monday Tuesday everyone! I was one of the lucky people to have MLK day off yesterday and I really enjoyed it. I managed to get caught up on laundry while being a lazy bum and doing nothing but watch NCIS all day while snuggling with Bo and reading. If only I could have a repeat button so I could do it all over again today.

Thanks to my day off I was able to finish my fourth book in 2014 which brings me to my reading challenge. I've decided to challenge myself to read 75 books in 2014. And as of right now I'm right on track and 5% done with my goal.


Head on over to Goodreads to check out my profile to see what I've been reading so far this year. Sadly the BBC's January book is still on my to-read shelf because it's such a popular book right now that I'm on a waiting list to get my hands on a copy {both book and Kindle edition}.

Hopefully soon I'll update the Good Reads page on here which has links to any book reviews I have done on the blog.

And now despite the polar plunge that has hit Wisconsin I must actually get off the couch and get myself ready for work. If you're also experiencing the polar plunge, stay warm and stay safe if snow is accompanying the cold temperatures.
