Shoes

Shoes, shoes, and more shoes. If I had a bigger closet, and bigger wallet, I would be rich on shoes! I can never resist a good bargain on a pair of cute shoes, which makes me a bit of an impulse buyer but one with really cute shoes. ;)

Triangle Rant

     Ok what is going on with the romance in Young Adult books! It seems that every time I pick up a book there is a love triangle involved. Why? Do they think that everyone is a fan of this, because I'm not! I hate love triangles, they seem so unreal. Yes, I know, they probably happen to people, but personally I've never seen this except on TV and in books.     I hate reading about love triangles in books, they ruin the story for me. I just can't get into it, I hated reading one in Twilight, it almost ruined the entire series for me. Why do authors put these girls into these situations? Its hard for them and me. Its almost an entire genre in its self. There's mystery, romance, paranormal, and now love triangle. So many books that I started reading were so good but eventually got ruined by a "lovely" love triangle. I wish that some of these authors would warn you ahead of time, something like "Warning: This book contains a love triangle, read at your own peril" on the cover of their books.
    Love triangles play with your feelings and I do not like that. I hate it when the book starts of with the two main characters, and your like "aww they sound so cute together, they totally belong together, and I can't wait till they get together", but soon the author introduces a new character and the heroine is like "Omg, I feel something for this guy, why, and I think I should be with him". When this happens I'm screaming in my head "No, you idiot, you don't feel anything for this guy, your just making drama, go back to the guy that's perfect for you". It totally ruins the book, like the book Enclave by Ann Aquirre, it was so good until she added another love interest for Deuce. And I had such high hopes for it, but now I don't think I'll read the next book.
     Why is it always one girl and two guys? With that couple the reader is thinking "aww, she has a tough choice between two great guys" but what about one guy and two girls? If that were to happen, I bet the reader would totally love to chew out the guy, because then he would be a player. Its a total double standard which isn't fair, because really, the girl with two guys is a player. Ugh can we just stop with the love triangles! Its not fair to anyone and it ruins everything. So writers, please stop writing them or give me fair warning about whats to happen. I hate investing my time and feelings into a book, only to get gypped and hurt.
     Sorry for the long rant, but ugh! I just hate, hate, hate, the triangle which seems like the main theme in Young Adult books. It just needs to stop because its not entertaining its terrible and I'm waiting for the day when they stop.

Return

     For the past few months, since August, I've been a live in nanny for a couple who have three kids. I loved working for them, their little girl was the cutest thing ever! Adali be 9 months old on the 28th, and was the happiest baby I have ever meet! Seriously, I would wake up at 8 am go up stairs and she would just be laying in her crib playing with her hands and as soon as she would See me she'd start smiling, talking, and kicking her legs. She would only start whining when she was starving, you couldn't have a more well behaved baby!
     As of now I'm not working for them anymore, since her grandma came to visit and will be staying for a while with them. I'm going to miss that little girl, I already am missing her a bit, but as with the daycare kids, I'll get over it.  This experience has matured me tons, I was never really comfortable with baby's, they scared the crap out of me when one was put into my arms, but now I love having one in my arms. No don't worry I'm not in a hurry to have one, but they just make your day better just by holding them. Oh and I haven't mentioned the boys, Landon and Preston, Landon is 2 (3 on the 27th) and Preston is 4. They were very easy to please and a blast to play with. Landon was so sweet, he'd want to help me with anything I needed and Preston, man that was one smart kid. He'd remember something I mentioned a few days ago and remind me of it. He's going to be the smartest kid in school.
     This was a great job, and one that I might be returning to next year, so well see what happens. I can say that its great to stay home, since August I've only been home on the weekends which was not enough time to unwind, now I have so much time on my hands that I'm doing things I usually put off for a while, such as my laundry. This time also is giving me time to think of what I want to do with my life. Do I want to be a Dental Hygienist? Do I  want to go to school? And what am I doing with my life now, that's helpful for my future? Lot's of stuff to think about during this little break. I hope you all have a great Holiday Season and I'll be seeing you all next year!
