Finish This: Week Thirteen

Linking up with the lovely hostesses of Finish This: Jen at The Arizona Russums, Becky at The Java Mama, Nicole at Three 31, and Lisa at Coastlined. Check 'em out and join the fun!


I don't get enough time with my sisters. It's been a few years since we've all consistently lived in the same house for any amount of time longer than Christmas break, and as crazy as sharing a bathroom was, I miss spending all that time with them. When we get together, we laugh until our sides ache and our cheeks are sopping wet. My sisters are bomb.
Here we are with our favorite cousin

My favorite indulgence is hanging out with friends no matter how late. I'm such a people person and my friends are all wonderful... I'd so much rather talk and be with lovely people than do something as boring as sleep! On New Year's Eve, Samara and Cami and I stayed up talking until 4am. Yikes! I've never stayed up that late/early before, but it was so fun and felt justified since we could sleep in. So much wonderfulness.

I made a major life change when I moved out into my own place. The awesome fun-ness of living on my own is very much balanced with the huge sense of responsibility I feel, and I have to say that I love both the freedom and the gravity. 
I'm going to add another life change. When I started volunteering at Care Net, my life became a declaration. Four hours every week is not a whole lot, but it is the first step of a lifelong journey, and I'm so looking forward to it all.

You should read Jesus Feminist by Sarah Bessey, the Unwind series by Neal Shusterman, The Name of the Wind and The Wise Man's Fear by Patrick Rothfuss, The Fault In Our Stars by John Green, To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, Is It Just Me? by Miranda Hart, Baby Catcher by Peggy Vincent. Y'all should know better than to ask a bookwork for book recommendations ;)

Almond bark is my secret ingredient in crack popcorn. To read the full recipe, check out this post {with a picture, no less!}. 

Thanks for another great link-up! Tune in next week for some more prompts, and please add your blog to link-up or finish these sentences in the comments. Until next time...

    1. The technical name for it is candied popcorn, but the word on the street is that it's called crack because it's sooooooo addicting! :)

  2. Ohmygosh I really liked Unwind! I haven't read the rest of the series, though. And I totally agree about girl time! Sometimes I just don't care how tired I'm going to be because it's so much fun! And I figure I'll remember those nights more than the nights where I actually slept :-)

    1. I don't know how you read Unwind without being sucked into the next books! I couldn't put them down! I totally thought it was a trilogy and was thrilled to bits when I got the third book, and then it ended...and I realized there was a fourth book coming...and it hasn't been published yet...and I'm trying not to die inside...
      So true! And what is caffeine for anyway? ;)

    1. Grace, I'm dying for the last book! Also, apparently a novella is in the works to give some back story on Bast and some other characters. Can. Not. Wait.
      Thanks for stopping by! :)
