Fucking shit!!!
That was said like George Lopez says it. Let me tell you; I woke up last night, and I wasn't all that hungry. So I made food but didn't each much, and I put it away so I could eat it this morning when I got home from work. Well I get home, and I'm super excited cuz I'm starving, and so I grab a plantain and cut it all up and start cooking it. When it's almost done, I go to the fridge to get my food out to warm up and it's gone! I'm over here making tostones and I don't have any food in the fridge. WTF, mate!?
*Sigh* Moving on...
I'm on a roll! I read and reviewed another story, you should check it out. But that's probably because the stories I'm reading are short. Hehe.
This, That, and Whatever.

Book Universe is back!
So far my resolution to read more is going well. I finished the Paisley Scott book I mentioned yesterday and I wrote a brief review over on Book Universe. Guess we're back in business. Hah.
As of right now, I'm keeping Aly on the blog as well. She used to do reviews with me. The blog originally started out as a random occurrence. I wanted to keep track of the really good books I read and I liked the idea of having a blog dedicated to it. I ended up reviewing every book I read whether it was good or bad. Slowly, I began to get readers and eventually I had authors contacting me and asking me to read and review their books. I was in heaven - free books!!! But then I started getting busy with my own writing, and I wasn't reading/reviewing as much. I still did the books that were sent to me, but nothing else. Because I wanted to keep up with it, I asked my friend Aly if she wanted to collaborate. We've known each other since high school, and reading was one of the things we bonded over, so I knew she was the right person to ask. She was game, so then it was the two of us. Then I got busier, and it was just her. But she got busy as well, and I realized that we both didn't have the time for it anymore, so I decided to end it.
I will be chatting with Aly tomorrow, to catch up with each other, and I'll bring the blog up. I know she's busy with school and things like that, so if she decides to stay on I don't expect her to have reviews that frequent, but she's always welcomed. :)

Read More, Huh?
I think the universe has added a little incentive to my resolution about reading more.
I recently re-discovered a gem of a book called Secret Santa 4U by Paisley Scott and as fate would have it, Twitter suggested I befriend her, so of course I did! Well, she posted a tweet for an Amazon Best Sellers list of 100 erotic stories that they are currently offering for free. Guess who is at number one? Paisley Scott with a book titled, Sugar Shack. So of course I had to download it, and while I was at it, I decided to check the rest of the list out. I found a few books that piqued my interest. So, I have a feeling, I'll be reviewing soon. ;)
I linked my old review of Secret Santa 4U and linked the Amazon page in case anyone wanted to peruse. :)

1st Blog of 2013
Hey hey hey people! Happy be-lated holidays and happy new year. I hope every one had a great time these last couple of weeks. Nothing eventful happened to me, so there is no need to recap the holidays for you. I guess, like everyone else, I have some resolutions for the new year. Let me share them with you:
1. Read more! Once upon a time, I would read on average 3 books a week. Now, I know I've grown and I've changed...and I know I've been scared because of my book addiction; but that is no reason to stop reading altogether! I have gotten pickier with my books too, but no matter. I plan on reading more. I may even re-open my book review blog, Book Universe. We'll see...
2. Write more! I miss writing. I'm not where I used to be, and I need motivation. I figure, if I enter little writing contests that will help with my skill and help me to get back into the swing of things. :) Anybody got any cool contests they want to tell me about? LOL.
3. Lose some weight. Yeah, doubt this one will happen, but I'll try. I'll say 10 pounds. Now the trick is going to keep the 10 pounds off. I usually have these 7 pounds that come and go every couple of weeks. So I want to lose the 7 plus 3 more and keep them off. It's not a lot and it won't make a difference, but seeing the numbers on the scale will make me feel better.
Those are my main resolutions for the year.
Now, moving on...this may sound rather self-centered of me, but I want a website. All about me! Blog entries, book reviews, pictures of me and things I bake. I don't know, just a Jen world. (Jen is my name, just in case you didn't know). I might look into free website places, and maybe I'll get one. I doubt it'll be exciting but I think it'll be neat and it's something to do. I'm much more active online than I am offline, so I figure I should make myself known online...again. I've fallen through the cracks these last few years. It's time to re-appear!
Anyway, that's it for now. Just my usual ramblings. :)
