Swapoween ROCKS!

Remember a couple of weeks ago when I mentioned I was doing the super awesome Swapoween and I was totally excited for it because nothing gets me in the Halloween spirit quite like shopping for Halloween stuff?

Well, the swap happened and then I hopped a plane out of town and never got around to posting the AMAZING package I got in the mail. Because I basically suck.

Look what came in the mail for me about two weeks ago:

Halloween decorations! Super cute ones. Window cling gels. A skull candy dish that I just LOVE. The cutest witch door hanger. Candy. A Halloween tumbler that I've been using non-stop since I opened the box. A small headstone that says "Stay Scary" and is in a great spot on my desk at work. And. AND. A pumpkin sweater for my darling Bruce Wayne.

Here's the sad part. I'm still on the other side of the country and I totally suck and I think I remember who sent this amazing package to me, but I don't want to credit the wrong person, so I'm going to wait until I get home and do a mega post in honor of the generous lady who assembled this fantastic box of awesomeness.

(I would totally wait to post this until I'm home and can properly credit the sender, but I'm overdue for linking up to the swap and wanted to get this done before I put it off for another day.)

Many thanks to my generous benefactor and to Miss Angie and Beth for organizing Swapoween. It's one of my favorite parts of October!

You are awesome. And if you share this post, you'll be even awesomer!

What I Just Finished Reading

Single Infertile Female by Leah Campbell--Another memoir, this time about a single woman who fights against impending infertility to try to become a mother. Loved it.
One Year Lived by Adam Shepard--Inspiring and fun story about a guy that spends a year traveling the world, doing service, and meeting the love of his life. It's a memoir, and a fun one.
Silver Linings Playbook by Matthew Quick-- Somewhat different from the movie, but really good. The story is told in first person, present tense, so you really get a sense of being in Pat's head and understand how he feels and what goes through his mind. Quick read, too.
