It's Like They Know Me!

Hello All, I hope everybody had a great whatever they choose to celebrate (or not) this season.  I was as always spoiled rotten.  Seriously folks my family and friends know me so well it's not even funny.  This year's haul included my Kindle Fire from the Hubbin so I can not only read any book at any time, but it is so high tech and usable I can actually write a lot of my posts on it  YAY HUBBIN!  Mammasan went WAAAAAAAAY above and beyond and got me the ultimate combo gift.  It is the book  As You Wish: Inconceivable Tales from the Making of The Princess Bride  by Cary Elwes...who I may have wanted to marry since I first saw the movie The Princess Bride.  To make it even more epic...she some how managed to have it signed by the Dread Pirate Roberts himself, Mr. Cary Elwes!!!!!  A small freak out may have commenced upon opening of said gift.  My baby sis of course found the best collection of books that not are only readable, but look amazing on my bookshelf.  I got a bunch of other cool stuff too...'cause you know...spoiled, including a Game of Thrones inspired card and an epic hand drawn dinosaur that goes RAWR...'cause we all know that is exactly what they say...no screeching here lol.  Anyways  I am looking forward to some quality reading time so if I go MIA I'm probably curled up in my reading chair with a huge stack of books.  Happy Reading Everybody!

In Good Book Form

Getting back from my trip this week and unpacking all of the spoily goodness that it entailed, I thought I would quickly show you one of my favoritist gifts I got. (yes I know I am making up words today)  My Mamma found somebody who shapes old books into letters and shapes and this is what I got

Sorry for the crappy picture, but Mamma is the photographer, I'm just the reader :-)  Anyways I thought these were pretty cool (the K is for my nickname, the V is for the Hubbin).  It's a great way to get a book and some decor in the same form.  She got some great ones for my siblings too...but I didn't get pics of those :-(  Oh well, I'm sure you smart people can probably find them on your own.  Happy Reading Everybody!

Spoiled!

Had a fabulous weekend.  Started with an excellent work out session in beautiful weather with the Hubbin, followed by dinner and fun with my bestie L.  Got my lazy bum out of bed early Sunday to run rehab and EMS for live burns, which is essentially where I get to set a building on fire multiple times and tell my firefighters to put it out.  It was a ton of fun and I learned a lot.  The part that may have been the best is when my awesome, amazing Hubbin came home with this!

Book pillows

I got the awesome open Alice in Wonderland one, that is not only super cool to look at...but pretty darn comfy as well.

This is what the other side looks like.  There are two more, Treasure Island and Sherlock Holmes which I eventually want to get, but they are not "open" so they are not quite as cool as my Alice one.  How lucky am I to have such an amazing Hubbin who knows me so well to get me the perfect gift to lift my spirits.  It is now sitting on my reading chair, the perfect comfy addition to my book time.
