and she's back!

well, so sorry for the radio silence this last month! my computer died and i was in technology purgatory as i continued to slowly amass the funds to buy one gorgeous macbook pro. i don't really think i need the power that this baby has, after all, g-chat does not really take up much memory or whatever it is that it uses...but what i don't need in power i certainly enjoy in beauty. i will never again return to the world of the PC. ever!

so, it would make sense that i have a lot to write about in the last month. which i do...i'd just hate to share all of my cards in one blog post...but i do have a book recommendation!

holy. moly. this book was AMAZING. i'm usually easy going when it comes to what i read, and i generally love just about everything i read...but this...this book was just absolutely wonderful. julia and michael are high school sweethearts who have found massive wealth and success in michael's DrinkUp beverage company and julia's party planning business (i have to interject...why is it that every wealthy man is married to a randomly successful party planner? interesting.) and they have replaced any intimacy or love in their marriage with bentleys, diamonds, and mansions. when michael has a heart attack at the young age of 35ish and he is clinically dead for 4 minutes his entire life and outlook on living changes. when he comes back to life he sets forth to find the happiness and love that he and julia once shared.

i could not put this page turner down. every spare second i had was spent with my iPad glowing on my face, drinking in every last word and scene between these two, and fighting for them up until the very end.

go here and buy it right now.

you won't regret it.
