Once in a while I will get a Caffè Latte at Starbucks. Today I got a Grande and realized there is only a 23cent difference. Now why wouldn't you get the Venti pay a little extra as it's only milk and it's good for you?
I didn't get home until about 7:45 last night, that makes for a short evening. I was on a mission to finish my Shopaholic Ties the Knot. It has taken me a long time to get through that one, I admit it was good but I feel it dragged on a bit in the middle. I was starting to get annoyed but all in all I enjoyed it. So am I right to assume Shopaholic & Sister is the next one to read? And then the baby? But I feel I might need a break from Becky Bloomwood, I read the first three in a row. I have the Lovely Bones to read but I am afraid it is going to be kind of a dark read.
Ok I started this at 9am and i've only gotten this far? Sad.....

Won't make to a Beach read
I am about to place my order for "Bright Lights Big Ass" By Jen Lancaster
As you all know I LOVED Bitter is the new Black and can not wait to read Bright Lights. I also read on her blog she is writing book #3. If you haven't read Bitter it's a must read!
I finished Bitter in only a few days and i have a feeling Bright Lights will be like that so no sitting on the beach with this one. I need to figure out some others. Anyone have some good chick-lit suggestions?

Bitter Is The New Black
As I said I know a lot of you have read this book but if you have not I am begging you to pick it up!
Book Description
"Jen Lancaster was living the sweet life-until real life kicked her to the curb.
She had the perfect man, the perfect job-hell, she had the perfect life-and there was no reason to think it wouldn't last. Or maybe there was, but Jen Lancaster was too busy being manicured, pedicured, highlighted, and generally adored to notice.
This is the smart-mouthed, soul-searching story of a woman trying to figure out what happens next when she's gone from six figures to unemployment checks and she stops to reconsider some of the less-than-rosy attitudes and values she thought she'd never have to answer for when times were good.
Filled with caustic wit and unusual insight, it's a rollicking read as speedy and unpredictable as the trajectory of a burst balloon."
From Publishers Weekly
It doesn't take Lancaster long to live up to her lengthy subtitle ("Confessions of a Condescending, Egomaniacal, Self-Centered Smart-Ass, or Why You Should Never Carry a Prada Bag to the Unemployment Office"): in just one chapter, she gloats over cheating a homeless man, is rude to a waitress and passes judgment on all of her co-workers (including her "whore" best friend). She's almost gleeful about lacking "the internal firewall that keeps us from saying almost everything we think," but she doesn't come off as straightforward, just malicious. (Of course, it's possible she's making up much of her dialogue, which is a little too clever to be believable.) Lancaster expects sympathy for her downward slide after getting fired from her high-paying finance job in the post-9/11 recession, and chick lit fans may be entertained watching life imitate fiction, but just when you start to feel sorry for her, the snotty attitude returns. In later chapters, Lancaster increasingly relies on entries from her blog (www.jennsylvania. com) and caustic replies to criticisms, and though things start looking up—her husband finds a job, she lands a book deal—it's not clear that she's been as chastised by her experiences as she claims.

Blogging Mode...not so much
I have a lot to fill you in on (not really), but no time. The snow is making people in my office crazy and well that leaves no time for blogging! Grrr...
I do however only have 50 pages left of Bitter is the New Black. I couldn't put it down this weekend. Well the fact it's a great book and I was sick and didn't get out of bed most of Saturday night. WHAT A WASTE...
You were all right, it is very very funny and Jen Lancaster is something else! I also can't wait for her new book to come out. I also added her as a myspace friend over the weekend :)! I love that i found her myspace so i know what her dogs and Fletch look like, makes it a bit more real.
OH, had a Dr appt with the foot guy, and what a smarty pants, though he's booted me for at least another month or so, on and off for different days at least. Sweet!
