Nook Book Worm: Orange Is The New Black by Piper Kerman

I think I'm going to start a new post, like my Fab Finds, Daily Eats, and Weekly Weigh Ins, this one will be about my current reading I'm indulging in on my Nook. I love to read. I love getting lost in the pages, characters and story lines. As much I love to read, finding time is always hard. I need to make more time, maybe instead of watching my DVR or shopping, or even being on the computer, DEFIANTLY not stopping the blogging hahaha, I should pick up my Nook. Well, that is what I plan on doing.

My life is about to be so busy with the fast approaching holiday season, I need to get lost in a book to clear my mind and reduce stress. I love all kind of books, but I tend to read the bestsellers or the top books. I love anything and everything by Nicholas Sparks and I have a soft spot of romance novels and anything that relates to addiction, alcoholism and jail, probably because I have experienced it my life.

Yesterday on Facebook on my news feed came a sale that was going on with Nook, 50% off top selling Nook books and this time there were actual good books on the list. I could have bought a ton of books, which my wallet probably would have hated. I chose Orange Is The New Black by Piper Kerman, due to the fact the fav it is getting from the hit series on Netflix. From page one, I have been hooked. I haven't been able to put it down, I'm half way through the book. I love it.

I have an emotional attachment to the book because as a young girl, I had to deal with my mother going to prison for 9 months of my teenage years. I often wonder what my mother thought about in prison or what it was like on the inside, it is something we don't really discuss. Yes, my mother is out of prison and has been for the past 13 years, but it is something I will live for the rest of my life. This book is all about Piper's year long stint in women's prison. The writing is easy and funny and emotional. I am half way through and I know I will finish it in the next two days. I actually will dive back into it right after this.

I will report back on this shortly with a small review, not a report lol.

Low Point Apple Crisp

At my Weight Watchers meeting yesterday, my leader told me about a low point apple crisp and I couldn't resist making it today. I love apple crisp, I don't have it often or really at all, because it can be high in points and frankly I like low maintenance  baking, so when I can find something easy and quick and low in points, well I am all game!! This apple crisp is again so easy and quick, perfect for a craving, a family gathering, party or just to have around the house. Requires only 3 or 4 ingredients to prepare this and you might even have all of it in your house right now. Apple Crisp Serving Size 4 4pp for a serving 4-5 medium apples 2 packets of Cinnamon or Maple Brown Sugar Oatmeal (preferably one that are 100-120 calories or 3pp) 8 oz of Diet Sprite or Diet 7up 5 sprays of Can't Believe It's Not Butter 1tsp of light brown sugar 8x8 baking pan Here is what I used: I actually used 5 apples because I

Let's Go To The Movies....And EAT at Cobb Theaters Tyrone

As part of the Tampa Bay Bloggers, I was given access and a gift card to tour the new Cobb Theatre at the Tyrone Square Mall for social share and blog post, all opinions and reviews are my own. I have lived in the St. Petersburg Area for almost 7 years now and worked at the Tyrone Square Mall for 6.5. In those 6.5 years, I anxiously waited for the mall to get a movie theatre and the time has finally come and this is not just any run of the mill movie theatre, this one is luxury and spacious and a whole experience on its own. Nanci, over at This Crazy Life of Mine , also a Tampa Bay Blogger and more importantly one of my besties, and I have partnered with our blog post about the Cobb Experience. She was in attendance also and there is so much to tell you, we decided to break it up into TWO part posts, linking to the two of our blogs together. I am going to give you the details on the food experience at Cobb, believe me it is more than just soda, candy and popcorn and Nanci is going

Perspective: My Trauma, Fear and Rejection

Well we have made it through another week of CoronaVirus, Stay Home, Social Distancing of 2020. I honestly have no clue what to call it, other than that. Today, has been 2 weeks since we closed BBW and shut down the store. Originally we had some high hopes we would have been open by yesterday, the mall sent an email saying they weren't going to open until the 19th, and then Pres. Trump extended the Social Distancing until the 30th. I honestly have no clue when I am going back to work. I am literally just trying to take it day by day and moment by moment, and week by week. I have been surviving and also Thriving during this process. I am a child of hard things. I have been through some tough shit in my day, and maybe I will get to that at some point, but we can save that for another post. Today the idea of Perspective is in my brain. If you don't know, which I am sure you do know if you follow along with me, but Rachel Hollis, whom is one of the many people I look
