It's been a busy week, with school kicking off earlier this month (can you believe October is already just around the corner?!). Seems everyone's settled in enough for the profs to start handing out assignments and projects. When I'm not reading, studying, or working, I'm helping my cousin plan my godson's 7th birthday party for November. My favourite little guy is growing up so quickly! This is going to be a fun party. Also, I love this time of year because the fall television season has officially started. I'm trying to get back into Glee, and I'm waiting for my CW shows to start. I've also discovered Once Upon a Time over the summer (I know, how late to the party am I?)... that's probably the show I'm most looking forward to this season!

New follower! You've got some great giveaways coming up. Already! Man I had my blog for over a year before I did a giveaway. Mostly because I didn't tell anyone I had a blog for almost a year. I'll definitely have to come back and check out more of your stuff. Good luck! The Sunday Post has been a really fun meme for me to participate in, so I hope you enjoy it.

Congratulations on starting up the new blog! It looks great and you've already been quite busy. :)
Gotta love Pokémon. The painted balls are an awesome idea, the kids will go crazy for them. Wish I'd have thought of that when mine when through that phase.
Congratulations and welcome.... I hope you enjoy blogging, it can be very rewarding. I haven't read the Uglies series, but my oldest daughter loved it and has tried to get me to read it for forever. :)_ Have a great week and happy reading..
