Geek in the Midwest

I guess you could call me "geek in the midwest" today because I geeked out at the fact that I can finally borrow books for the kindle from the library! Craig and I knew the announcement was supposed to come out sometime this month and it finally did today, which totally made my afternoon. I already requested The Paris Wife and Eating Animals. If you've read either of these titles, let me know what you thought!

I have a lot of other reading to do, but I am sure I can fit in reading those two titles when they are available for loan.

One of the books I was most excited to start today was Catching Fire, the second book in The Hunger Games series. It already sucked me in and since I am taking a rest day from the gym tonight, I'll have plenty of time to relax and read it.

After work, Craig and I drove to meet Karis, aka my cake pop dealer. :) Karis delivered the cake pops I bid on and won from Jessica's Team Challenge for CCFA bake sale.

Aren't Karis' business cards cool looking? I like the clean and modern font she used. I need to get business cards for my blog yet.



I declared that I wouldn't try a cake pop until Friday, when I can officially eat chocolate again. However, I was surrounded by chocolate all day and I just had to give in. Besides, I have done my lactose free diet for 6 days now and the doc said to aim for 5-7 days lactose free.

So, I was naughty and enjoyed one when we got home. It was delicious! Craig loved the taste of them too and said they looked so professional. They did--Karis did a great job.



After hearing how difficult they are to make, I doubt I'll be making them anytime soon. I'm not sure I have the patience!

Have a good night!
