Book Review & Runners Slump.

Book Review:
So I recently finished reading I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell By: Tucker Max.
So for a little blurb off of TuckerMax.com & the back of his book, check out the linked website.

 So, I would imagine a lot of women would be seriously disturbed by this book, and would find Tucker Max horrible offensive, crude and even disgusting, and by all means I agree totally. However, this is how some men in reality think and for some reason kept me dragged into the entire book the entire time!!
Do I recommend it?
Well yes, because I recommend every book because I love all literature.
However, I forewarn those who are easily offended by references to sex, alcohol or objectifying women. 

On some other terms, I have hit a runners slump. I haven't run like I usually have in well over a month. Granted I am running once or twice a week but for short distances and without my usual enthusiasm. 
So bloggy friends. 
I am writing to ask for a little bit of encouragement. 
I intend on going to sleep fairly early and waking up at 5am to go for a nice 3mile run and then going for another run at 1pm and am hoping to make a 5 mile run!! 
8 miles in one dayyy!!!!
Omygooodness, but I need something to get me out of my runners slump!!!
So i am going on runners overload and taking one for the team!!!!

xoxo.

Edit:
It was raining at 5am.
However, now 1pm and I am heading off for a nice run. I am not sure how far I will be going but at least 3 miles but no longer than 1 hour!

Just one more week =[

Its hard to believe,
but in just one week the camp that I work at will be completley finished.

The end of camp is always really sad, and I am not sure if this is my last summer working here or if I will be spending one more summer here next year.
I suppose it all depends on my internship.
Well I am excited to move back to my apartment.
I have decided to redecorate once I get back because I haven't been back to it in like over 2 months!!!
I have been looking at a lot of black and white rooms and and think that, that will be the theme I will be going to, also with a hint of plum!


However, on my afternoon off I will be spending the day outside laying in the sun=]

The downside to my job.

Let me start off my saying, 
I love my summer job!!

However, similarly to probably everyone elses job there is a downside to mine..
This downside to my job kept me up until 3am dealing with some fabulous paperwork, phonecalls and crying campers.
  Yep that is correct. 
The lovely issue of underage drinking...


Needless to say, I am working offf of no sleep today.

However, I did recently finish Percy Jackson and the Olympians and the Battle of the Labyrinth.
  This is the 4th Percy Jackson book I read & honestly I keep liking them more and more. 
I read this book in 3 days and can not wait to go on to the 5th and final one!!!
I highly suggest reading this series.

I am currently reading, I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell by Tucker Max.
This book is crude, rude and ridiculous, but I can't help but being pulled into the sadistic world of Tucker Max & sadly, I am sure it is the way that many boys my age act.

One of My Favorite Summer Things:

One of my favorite summer things is:
 Summer Thunderstorms!

Something about a quick summer thunderstorm to cool of the very hot air that just calms me down!!!
I finished reading One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest. 
 This was a good book, but slightly hard to get threw. I found some parts a little dry and the narrator of the book spoke in an uneducated form of English that was at times difficult to follow. However, this really gave me an idea of what mental institutions were like and some parts were veryyy entertaining. 
I would def. recommend this book to anyone interested in the psychology or mental health fields!! 
 I took a short running hiatus. 
Due to the intense heat. I find myself getting very little from running in the hot heat but will be running 2 or 3 miles tonight or tomorrow, or both depending on the rain!! 

Sorry for the lack of subject matter for blogging, work has been intense!!
xoxo!

4 of July Recap!!

I hope everyone had a very safe  & fun 4th of July!!!
 After working my butt off in the raging heat all morning.
Woo, 4th of July Carnival at Camp!!
That was a tough but fun one!

I spent my night doing something just as exhausting.
Bf, was busy with his family, & all though I would have loved to spend it with him, sometime a girl need the company of another man!!
The other man for me is:

 An adorable & very sleepy 7 week old that I babysit!!
Hes quite handsome I know!!
I had a very fun exhausting night & def. give parents a ton of credit, bc man I don't know how they do it!!

I have been reading One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest, but this one is taking me a little long to finish then my other books.
I am on lake duty all day, so I will be able to get some reading done when the kids take break from the water and play on the beach or when no kids are in the water at all!!

Its going to be a scorcher out there so everyone make sure you have your SPF & have fun!!
xoxo!

One Love, One Love

Have you heard the new Enrique Song?
I am a little obsessed with it.
 A little random, but true nonetheless. 

Soo, the weather in New York is currently fabulous & I am doing everything I can to stay outside. 
We get some mornings, afternoons and evenings off at camp to do our own personal things & today bf & I took a little trip down to the city to go shopping!!!
I stopped off at MAC & got some new make up I had been needing. 

I picked up an Eye Liner: Eye Kohl in Costa Richie & A Mascara X in Dark Brown.
I also got a new long sleeved running shirt anticipating that it might be a little chilly for my half marathon in October!


Last night, 
bf and I were able to go see Eclipse!
& wow, first of all I am proud to say I am a Twi-hard, but I have been one long before the books became popular and the movies were even a thought in someones mind. 
But I am not going to lie. Taylor Lautner, is one beauuutiful barely of age boy!!

 
!!!!!!!


Yesterday, 
I also finished the Perks of Being A Wallflower.
 This book was a very easy read. It is a bunch of letters written by a boy named Charlie about what he is going through in his life. The books is sad, serious, funny, happy and overall a great book. 
I know a lot of people read this in high school, but I was not fortunate enough to have read it then & highly suggest this book to everyone!!  
I am now on to reading One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest.


Running is going very well & I am picking up some speed. 
I am actually off for a run right now and hope to get at least two miles in however, it is quite hot and will see how the run goes. I would have gone earlier in the morning but I was too busy with work!!


xoxo.
