My woot woot today--today when I was alone and in charge of supper in the kitchen, the state health inspector showed up (we get reviewed twice a year),and I was able to answer EVERYTHING perfectly AND we got no violations!! WOOOOT!! I was pretty proud of myself :) My boss was super happy as well, he stopped by on a fluke today after the inspector left. We are good for 6 more months!

Thanks! Another really awesome Woot woot--I was talking with a new online friend about something that happened to me when I was 27. She's watched some of my videos, and she was like, "27? You don't even look like you could be 28!" WOOOOT! (I'm 36) :D Love those kind of compliments!

Autumn Weaver from Boone won the Miss Iowa competition, and is headed to the nationals!!! I was one of her 4H leaders :D So so proud of her!
This is the best part of the article for me:
"All pageant contestants are asked to choose a platform - a cause they bring awareness to. Weaver’s chosen platform is anti-bullying. She said she chose this platform because she is against bullying and because she was bullied in middle school and high school. Some of the students who bullied her in school made fun of her because she is deaf, but able to hear thanks to a cochlear implant she received when she was 3 years old.
“I told them I would try out for a pageant,” Weaver recalled saying. “Watch me.”
She was always an amazing kid! WOOOOOT!!

Thanks!! I totally did, was feeling pretty good after that! I'm usually pretty good in high pressure situations like that. It was nerve-wracking though!

I've gotten about half of them, you can check out my profile for the reviews.

Jenny, I'm not someone who reads 100 books a year. I read about 40-50 books last year that I think I need to review. I've done about 25 or so, and I've got about 15-25 remaining. Thanks!
I'm going to do the Gone series in just one big review, I'm really excited to revisit that series again!

The Legend series reviews are up next.

Thanks. I owe it all to having an entire day off. Also, the second book was really fast-paced.
Today I received in the mail my 6 Sea Turtle themed Artist Traders Cards from 6 different artists around the world! I LOVE them so so much! So very cool :)

Woot! Woot! Awesome, Jenny! Can you share what they look like via pictures?
Okay, I did it on Tumblr instead of Facebook, but its posting it sideways and I don't know how to fix it...why does technology hate me so bad?
