Teaser Tuesday

Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading and it asks us to...

• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

Here's my teaser this week:

If you're like me, you wake up seven minutes and forty-seven seconds before you best friend is supposed to be picking you up. You're too busy worrying about how many roses you are going to get on Cupid Day to do anything more than throw on your clothes, brush your teeth, and pray to God you left your makeup in the bottom of your messenger bag so you can do it in the car.

If you're like me, your last day starts like this:

Before I Fall - Lauren Oliver, pg 7 (Note this is an ARC, words, sentences subject to change)

So this weekend has been a nice one. I didn't do a whole lot yesterday during the day but spent the evening at a friends house watching UFC 109 and mostly just visiting some other friends we hadn't seen in awhile, which was very nice.

Today is of course the Superbowl. We'll be watching that when it's time. Neither team is one of our teams but I love football so I have to watch the game regardless heh.

The picture to the left is what our campsite looks like today. Thankfully it seems to be fairing the winter well this year. Then again it has been a pretty dang mild winter. Our camping friends went up to camp just to get out of town and snapped this picture for us. I can't wait for camping season to start. It's just over the horizon almost in reach.

Anyway a decent weekend for the most part. We need to get our truck checked out. Darn engine light came on and we have no clue why but other than that, the weekend has been great.

I tried very hard to stay out of book stores this weekend and it just didn't work. I have another pile of books to put up on my mailbox tomorrow morning.

I hope everyone had a good weekend and I hope the poor folks snowed in over on the east coast get some relief.
