It has not been a spectacularly positive 48 hours for me and I am finding myself feeling rather blue. After spending WAY too long at IKEA with my mom today because she wanted to get me a mirror to go above my fireplace as a birthday present...but really I think she wanted to look around because we were there FOREVER. Have I mentioned my hatred for places like IKEA??? I probably have not, but I cannot stand places like that. People drive me insane, especially with that herding mentality. Another place that drives me this insane is Costco.
So, what did I do when we FINALLY got done at IKEA and got the mirror set up? Oh, yeah...I went to Costco. What the hell is wrong with me? I seriously think the samples they hand out make people stupid. They somehow forget that they are taking up full aisles and in everyone's way. I got a ton of produce and organic protein to get myself back on track with my meal plan. I found Lucas some great new educational materials from Brain Quest that he will love and some early reader books (super hero themed...how could we go wrong??). As I was getting ready to head to the front and deal with the lines my eyes fell upon a book at the end of the aisle...Jennifer Weiner's new book, Fly Away Home. I LOOOOOOVE Jennifer Weiner's books. They are books that make me laugh and cry and always seem to find me when I most need them. I am SO excited to read this from cover to cover...in the next 48 hours or less.
So this leads to me ask...what else should I read this summer? Please leave your suggestions here :)

Oh, Rose, I asked the same question and got a million responses, so I'll share them with you. I just finished the first two books in a trilogy (third coming out in September)--"The Hunger Games" and "Catching Fire." They were fantastic--I couldn't put them down. One along those same lines is "The Line," which was also good, and there will be more coming in that series, too. Right now I'm onto "The Help" by Kathryn Stockett (I think), which was recommended by like 5 people. Then onto "Little Bee" and "The Thirteenth Tale." So, yep, that's my list right now. I'll let you know if I find any others that are good! :)
