A good friend of mine recommended this book to me a while agoshe said she devoured the booki bought itand was slightly skeptical reading an actresses autobiography but...i *devoured it as welli literally read this whole book in less then 24 hours
Portia de Rossi has an amazing story with her eating disorder and her recoveryIt is unbelievable to read her rationale for her actions and what those actions lead toI couldn't put the book down until i finished it!
Highly Highly Recommend it!Any books you devoured lately?!
*devour is my term for those super good reads that engulf you and lead you to forget the rest of the world is happeningbecause you are so entranced and absorbed

Initials

Everyone LOVES their own initialswe monogram EVERYTHINGbut this year i received an awesome present from my best friend(Sunny with a Chance of Sprinkles)

this wrap around bracelet

and the button has her initials on it

She said she did it so when i looked down 

i would know that she is thinking about me

and our friendship

and how i used to call her "CT"

i wanted to cry

and besides loving this bracelet because its so cute

i wear it all the time

because its kind of comforting to look down and know she is right there

I am totally thinking about doing this for my sister or my other friends

love the idea

CT.. You are a genius :)

Jan One

*Some one said Jan One on the NPR the other day

i think it sounds so weird

is it that hard to say January first?
