Three (point) Three Things Thursday...

1.
Books I have read lately...

Just a quick "fun fluff" read as you know I love "Pride and Prejudice"...plus it was like  $2.99 for the Kindle book


This was for our book club (I actually finished it after we met for it...oops!) and the writing was good but really...I so dislike both Charles and Anne Lindbergh as they were portrayed after reading it so it is hard to recommend to others. Both characters drove me crazy and I did not like reading about the kidnapping/death of their child. However, it was interesting to learn about them..being real people. I did actually hear that people like Anne Lindbergh's book "Gift from the Sea"...so maybe I will read that one day.
This is our book we picked for our book club in June and I am already half way through it...so far I really like it! I'm very anxious to see how they make it end, etc. 

2. 
I got my hair all cut off today. It needed it! I had issues with having a lot of new growth but the ends of my hair up about 3-4 inches was very fine. She asked if I have had thyroid problems or been under extreme stress in the last year...I laughed! I think we will go with option 2...anyway...after lots of inches gone...it feels much better. Now if I could just find my money tree so I can get it highlighted... :) Haircut is a little like the one I got HERE but slightly longer...
Would love highlights like this! (And look at that make-up...perfection!) I LOVE Adele!
3. 
This weekend is going to be a busy one. The Hoppe Family is going Camping! Yes, in a tent! Norah is so excited! I will share pics and details soon. I also already have another commitment on Friday night...so I will be heading off to a Martini Party that benefits our school (it should be a great time!)...and meet the family on Saturday for the rest of the camp trip. Sunday...after we get home from camping...I will be heading to see one of my students in a dance performance...should be great (Thank you to the parent of this student who bought me a ticket to it!) Still wondering if we can get to Church on Sunday as it is a big event and picnic but not sure if we will make it...

3.1 
I got the most amazing note today and a gift card to Starbucks with it! This note came from a student at our school (and I don't even teach this student!)...when you get something like this...it is the reason you teach. This student is such a good kid! It made my week to get it! 

3.2 
TV...So Season Finales are all on TV and I watched "NCIS LA" in full yesterday (DVR) and loved that he kissed her! But the end was painful to watch...now I want to know what happens next!
And tonight is the "Big Bang Theory"...I hope it is good!

3.3
Oh yeah...gotta tell you about my deal I got. I need new running shoes...I have gotten a blister the last couple times I have gone running and/or walking so knew it was way past time to get new ones. I wear the same ones as they are the ones I got fitted for a long time ago and they are awesome! (I so recommend you get fitted for running shoes at a running store...it makes a world of difference.) Well I have been watching the shoes since the beginning of the year on three different sites for the price to go down (They were $109.00 pretty much everywhere) (Why are running shoes so expensive? MB-I know you feel this pain.) Anyway, last night they were only $75 on this WEBSITE (they usually have the best prices) and then I "Goggled" for a coupon and low and behold...found one...the shoes ended up being $63 total (that is shipped and all!) I was so happy!
So I might have picked another color...but you can't be picky when you save over $40!
Well I'm off to get ready for TGIF tomorrow! :)

Oh yeah. Running shoes are the only ones I will splurge on. Thank goodness for www.6pm.com for the rest of my foot gear! I bet your hair looks great. And I want to have a martini party. I might have had one last night. Impromptu. At home. With only me and T. And he was not drinking martinis.
