gosh darn it!

Yeah, I know that I sound like an old lady by using that title, but what actually came out of my mouth isn't proper for posting. Anyway, so as I have been saying, the MMM 2008 contest finalists are supposed to be notified between yesterday and next monday. I got an unavailable number on my phone today, answered it, and it was a wrong number. I wasn't thinking much of it, until I hung up and realized that my heart was beating rediculously fast and I was nervous. Great. I have been doing my best not to get excited or worried about it, because I know I'm not going to win. But I guess my brain and body have different ideas. I don't want to be disappointed. I know that it's just part of taking a chance, but still. So to that, I say: GOSH DARN IT!

I'm trying to cram in reading a few more books before that is no longer an option (thanks to school). I am also trying to branch out from reading my usual choice of chick-lit. Expanding my horizons, growing. I picked up 3 books from the school library this morning, played eenie-meenie-miney-mo to pick which one to start with, and dove in. The book I'm reading right now (The Fugitive Wife) is good, but I still long for a perfect, bright pink, 300-page romance filled, shopping included, friendship story. A girl can dream.
