Life:
So, there’s not a lot going on this week. Life has been
pretty busy again. I had to work the nightshift Monday till Thursday, and since
it was very hot during the day, I didn’t get a lot of sleep. The nightshifts
where also crazy busy so when I got home I was exhausted and didn’t really feel
like doing anything.

Friday I spent the day at my mom’s house. We started
planning for a date to go wedding dress shopping. Super exciting!! We had a
lovely day talking about weddings, dresses, decorations.. Sigh.. I love it.

Some weeks work just seems to suck up all the time, doesn't it? I didn't read a ton this week either…
I'd be curious about that new book, is that her first new one since Twilight? And that video! Wow… I didn't realize it had been that long since Hanson was around!
It sure does Greg. I wish we could work less, and read more! LOL!
'The Chemist' is the first book Stephenie Meyer published since Twilight.. I'm so curious about that one.
Thanks for stopping by!
Sorry to hear work's been so full-on and that it's been hot. But the wedding dress shopping sounds exciting – as well as the planning. Stressful but exciting. At least nowadays you're not limited to magazines but Pinterest etc as well for ideas. (Though I guess that could be overwhelming too!)
The Wedding planning sure is a lot of fun. I can't wait to go dress shopping for the first time.
Pinterest is amazing.. and sooo addicting. 😀
The heat is terrible. 🙁 I hope it won't be too bad next week, especially if you have to work.
Wedding planning can be fun but also stressful.
Hanson always was really talented so I'm not surprised that they still sound good.
And they look good too! 😉
So far.. the wedding planning has only been fun. But I realise this can change when the date gets closer.
Thanks for stopping by!
Ooh wedding dress shopping, that's going to be so fun!!! Sorry you had to work so much, especially the night shift. And it's been crazy hot here too. Maybe this week will be better for you work-wise and you'll get more reading time 🙂
So far I didn't get more reading time unfortunately. I didn't even get to visiting all the Sunday Posts I wanted! Sigh..
Ooo wedding dress shopping will be fun! I will never get married, but I love going with friends when they do. 😀 Enjoy your reading and have a great week!
I honestly can't wait to go dress shopping. I'm just so excited and I can't wait to find my dream dress.
Thanks for stopping by! 😉
Wedding dress shopping can be fun – so long as it isn't too hot and crowded! Night shifts – hm. Himself has to do a fair number of those and it can play havoc if it's too warm to sleep well during the day – hope your next week reverts back and then, maybe, you can get more reading done:)

Night Shifts and hot weather definitely aren't the best combination. But I survived.. 😀
I can't wait to start dress shopping. It's soooo exciting. 😀
Sounds like you had fun with wedding plans. How exciting! And some really good looking books this week. Enjoy:)
My Sunday Post
Thanks Laura. The books sure look lovely. I can't wait to start reading them 😀
I'm about done with the heat. I like hot weather normally but I've had just about enough of it now. I'll take not having temps in the triple digits. I can imagine it's hard enough to get a good amount of sleep on night shifts anyway and doubly so when it's a billion degrees outside. The wedding planning sounds like a lot of fun! Have a great week!
The heat can definitely be overwelming. But when I'm not working the night shift, I don't mind so much. It's better than all the rain.
Thanks for stopping by 😉
The Blood Led Her looks really good and I will definitely read anything Stephanie Meyer writes. Enjoy the wedding planning.
sherry @ fundinmental My Sunday Memes
Me too.. Stephenie Meyer is one of my favorite authors. I can't wait to read her new book. It took soooo long for her to write a new one!
Happy Reading
YAY for wedding-dress shopping, Maureen! That definitely is a lot of fun 🙂
Your new books look fantastic, and I hope you'll enjoy them.
Have a wonderful week and happy reading.
Lexxie @ (un)Conventional Bookviews
Thanks Lexxie. I can't wait to get into those bridal stores. So exciting.
Thanks for visiting and happy reading!
Yuck — work and heat doesn't sound like a lot of fun. But I hope you enjoy dress shopping and other wedding-planning stuff! I was … overwhelmed at all the options last year when we got married — who knew there were SOOO many options for EVERYTHING?!
I totally understand what your saying. All those choices.. :O:O:O Wedding planning is a lot of fun, but definitely a little overwhelming.
Thanks for stopping by 😉
