What came after Breaking Dawn...........

-
After finishing Breaking Dawn I didn't think that I could love any book ever again. Boy, was I totally wrong about that!!! This is the first time that I've actually been glad to be wrong......

The lovely sisters Brynn and Cherstin recommended both of the following books to me. Thank you guys for telling my mom about the Uglies!!

My mom and I absolutely adore the Uglies series!! Please don't tear me apart for saying this but.....I think it was way better that any of the Twilight books......

I didn't read this book at first because everybody I knew who read it told me,"Oh, Sunbum you would love this!! It's so your kind of book!!" I truly despise being predicable so I decided I wasn't going to read it, and their predictions wouldn't come true. (Ha!) You can see how well that plan worked out.........I'm a sucker!! I couldn't resist for very long; so now I have proved them right! I really hoped that I wouldn't like it, but my hoping was all in vain! It was so good I could hardly stand to put it down for more than I second!!

Thank you guy again for telling me about these awesome books!!

    I'd posted awhile back and asked for suggestions for my daughter (9yr) for books. She just finished this Maximum Ride series and loved it more than Harry Potter. She's been bugging me to read it for awhile now. I guess I'll take your suggestion and finally read it.

    Was Uglies too teen for a nine year old?

    Has your 9 year old read Coraline? My 9 year old sister just finished it and loved it.......I read it a while ago and thought it was awesome!!! I think that was pretty good for a 9 year old.

    Twilight will always hold "my favorite book" spot in my heart.

    I just read a James Patterson book and it was so scandalous. I blushed the entire time.

Yup. That's right today is my 14th birthday. (I was born on 5-5-95!!! Isn't that awesome?!) I can't believe it! It doesn't feel like it's a year since whining about turning 13!! Anyway so my mom made me a delicious birthday breakfast that consisted of: Pancakes (raspberry, and cinnamon), cantaloupe, mini sausages, and hash browns!! It was all so good! And then my brothers and sister decorated my bed so when I woke up I was confused, and they decorated a birthday chair for me!!! I LOVE my family!! Yesterday I was talking to two girls in Kung-Fu named Diana, and Briana (they're sisters) and telling them about my birthday. I kept laughing because they were saying," Girl, you're going to need a walker, and dentures for your birthday presents this year......because you're old !!!" Then all the girls started telling me how old I looked to them. Briana said "15". Caterpillar said "25". And Diana said "400"! I told them I

And her name was Ms. Bossy Pants

There's this girl in my brothers church class. Her name is Ms. Bossy Pants . Just from her name you can find that she likes to boss people around, even if they're three times bigger than her! In sharing time she was in the row in front of where I was sitting. I was talking to the girl next to me trying to block out Ms. Bossy Pants bossiness. Then she turned around and started doing her signature move(rubbing her index fingers together and saying,"For shame."Oh! And shaking her head at the same time!) Isn't she such a little multi- tasker ? She started with the,"For shame Sunbum . For shame, your not suppose to be talking right now." (In my defence we still hadn't started class yet.) But that was enough for me, I didn't care if her mom was behind me(telling her mom is her only defence). Who is she to tell me what to do? Then the evillest plan popped into my head. I smiled wickedly at her. Then I turned to the girl next to me and said,"Oh loo

The Office Extravert

Before the pandemic I was a very social person. I had a PACKED social calendar, and constantly sought to be around people. I would host weekly game nights, friend dinners, and group outings. During and post-pandemic I was left with a lot of social anxiety and depression, and that really impacted my ability to socialize with others. I was convinced that one of the lasting symptoms of COVID was introversion.  When I first started working in my current office, I was still recovering from teacher burnout. I felt drained after any social interaction, and felt overwhelmed in highly populated areas (i.e. the grocery store). Anyway, when I started working in the office, I told my parents daily about how chatty people in the office were. I frequently said, "Wow, everyone in the office is so chatty. They just stop by my desk to talk to me all the time. Sometimes I get behind in my work because people stop so often.*" *I feel the need to clarify that I am constantly weeks ahead of sched
