Mister Mittens' Big Adventure

I was directed to blog by one of my best friends, which is fine.. of course. I have been lazy about it, but I also feel like nothing has changed... Nothing important? Nothing at all? I'm not sure. Well, okay, that's being selfish. Nothing important isn't true because important things ARE happening to people around me, but it's not my job to report you guys about that. But nothing important with ME.

I'm still working in the same place, but things just got a bit crazier. Family emergency with my bosses (brother and sister), so they are BOTH out of town, and everyone (all 5 of us?) are pulling some crazy shifts to keep going. It's kinda fun, helps me get hours, which of course have been reduced due to the state of the country. But it's also hard, because I just did a closing at midnight, get home at 1am then come in the next day at 9am. Whee :) I just survived it, so it's okay!

I still don't have a car, but I'm getting myself super hyped up about it (er, getting a car), which might be a mistake. Still, I'm dreaming big right now; big and girly!

Still working on my debt. That's going to be a long road, but I knew that. It's going well. I'm also saving for retirement. Whee?

I'm feeling older (every day?). Kevin met me at the bus stop today to walk home with me, and I asked him what he wanted to do.. and he said, "I'm kind of tired... Want to take a nap?" This is what happens when you grow old together! Needless to say, it was a wonderful nap.

I read a million books since I last posted. .... Kitty books are good, Carrie Vaughn. Paranormal (romance? a little) / werewolves. The Hero and the Crown, Robin McKinley. Super hot. I love her to pieces. One of my all time favorite authors. I did prefer The Blue Sword (the first Damar book) more.... Maybe because I read it first? I'm sure Anne will prefer The Hero and the Crown :D. Magic Study and Fire Study, 2nd and 3rd book (following Poison Study), .... uhm... Maria Snyder? They are pretty good, but because I read Magic and then Fire in quick secession, it felt a bit boring. But then, maybe that's a sign that the books aren't THAT great.. I felt like she was riding between the Mage Keep and the plains, ... for 600 pages... two books. -headdesk- But it was worth it in the end, and it's OVER! Now I'm reading... uh. Geez. Blood (runs off) Price by Tanya Huff. I'm on page 30. It's okay so far. I've never been a big Tanya Huff fan. But these were turned into a tv series ["...her Blood Books series, featuring detective Vicki Nelson, was adapted for television under the title Blood Ties."] Sure okie. I'll try it. I think I read some more in between all those, but obviously they weren't important.

I'm getting so excited about Jacqueline Carey new books. There are TWO coming. Wow. One about werewolves (WTF, she's reading my mind!!), and another in the Kushiel universe. ... I'm going to die of happiness.

And, finally, what does my title mean! This:
MewMew!

Much love, and I'll seriously consider what to post about next. I'm not blogging to change the world, just to let Anne know what I'm doing.
