Pompeii City on Fire

Dear blog, I just finished reading another book from the school library. The name of the book is Pompeii City on Fire by T.L. Higley. She is an amazing author, she likes to really connect and do her research before she writes; she travels to the places that she writes about in her book. If you are interested in looking at pictures from her travels, visit this website NoPassportRequired.com. This book is based on the city of Pompeii and how it experienced another disaster. There are two main story lines in the book. Cato who moves to town from Rome and starts to sell wine, but then he gets dragged into running from the emperor because he wants to free the people of Pompeii from his rule. The other story line is about a young girl who wants to escape her master and she joins the gladiators pretending to be a boy. But if you want to know what happens with these two characters you should go to your nearest library and check the book out. You will not regret it, it's really good.
XOXO
Dale!

Back to School

Dear blog, it is time to start a new semester. I'm getting so close to being done with my Master's degree. I have 5 classes left; God willing I will complete my Master's and graduate this August. I'm so pumped to finally be done and get a small break from school. Which is ironic because my degree is in teaching. It is time to buy text books and school supplies. Even though my classes are online, I still like to have a notebook to take notes as I read. Also, I love post it notes to write reminders of when assignments need to be turned in, pens, pencils, and highlighters. I'm all about making to-do lists, so I always have a piece of paper around that tells me what I need to be doing. This is a lap computer desk, I bought it at Bed Bath and Beyond it is not found online. I have had this desk for about 5 years now. I really like this desk because it can be moved around; it can be used on the couch or just to sit on the floor. This desk has two slots on the side to ke...

Wish List for Valentines

Kiel James Patrick: Brunch At Tiffany's , I discovered this store last year and I absolutely fell in love. In particular with this pearl necklace, I have been wanting it since I saw it. It is quite pricey, hence why I have not been able to get it. This necklace costs $82.00; I mean it is made up of pearls so I don't expect for it to be cheap. Also, it looks like a classy piece that every girl should have in their jewelry collection. Pearls will always be in style. Tory Burch: Perfume ; this one is the 1oz bottle for $65.00. This has been on my wish list for a year. The bottle is absolutely gorgeous, I can use it as a decoration on my vanity. Tory Burch: Tilsim Logo Heart Stud , perfect gift for Valentines Day. These earrings are gorgeous. Victoria's Secret: The Cotton Mayfair Pajamas , this pajama is so cute, it's in my favorite color. Also, I need new pajamas, I have plenty of pajamas bottoms, but not tops. This one is perfect because it ...

Nike Free Shoes

Image
Dear blog, I have been needing new workout shoes since I have committed to this weight loss journey. So my wonderful and kind husband surprised me with these pink Nike shoes. I was so excited about my new pink shoes. I love pink!!!  I have never owned Nike shoes. These shoes are so comfortable, they make working out fun and not just because they are pink, haha. These shoes are absolutely the best, I feel like I'm waking on clouds. That is something I like about shoes; these have a padding that helps my feet stay comfortable. Also, they do not hurt the back of my Achilles tendon, usually my shoes hurt and I can't use them. I mean, who likes to workout in uncomfortable shoes?  My shoes are from  Finish Line ; they are Nike Free Running Shoes in vivid pink and metallic silver. My husband bought them on sale and if you are interested, you should get them while they are still on sale. All around good shoes, very comfortable and cute. I highly recommend them if you are ...
