Hey, guys! There’s so much to talk about, so many things to think about… ugh, and when I just caught settled on the couch to type everything out, I realized I need my phone and it’s all the way in my room…. *sigh.* Is it lazy to not want to get up and go to the other room for my phone? Especially when I just ate myself full of pizza and cookies? Aye, aye, aye…. okay, I’m back. I got off the couch, went to my room, looked around for my phone… and found it in my back pocket.

Several things happened/are happening this week…

1.) Yesterday was my mom’s birthday! We went to Best Buy to get her a new phone, then to Chick-Fil-A for lunch, and for dinner we went to a Japanese/Hibachi place with my cousins. =) I also tried out a new hair style yesterday – I did a ‘milkmaid braid’ (here’s the tutorial I used – I love Cute Girls Hairstyles!) and I loved it! I took a picture to send to my cousin, and I had a photo-bomber…

2.) I baked home-made chocolate chip cookies! I was going to do a recipe from a MDBC book, but since my cousin is borrowing my copy of the 1st book, I didn’t use one from the books. (And I didn’t find a recipe I had the ingredients for in the other books.) But I did find a recipe on Pinterest (you can find that here). I made the cookies kind of small, so I had a good bit of dough left. The recipe said it could be frozen for up to 3 months, so I froze the dough and I’m going to make some more today!

3.) Later today my family and I are going to the movies to see Do You Believe, and I’m so, so, so excited to see it! It looks super good!

4.) I finished Ida B by Katherine Hannigan this week! It was so cute and really good. I’ll probably be posting the review in a few weeks. (All of my reviews are posted at least a week after I’ve finished it.) Ungifted by Gordon Korman and One for the Murphys by Lynda Mullay Hunt are coming your way soon!

5.) For the Bookish is turning ONE in twelve days! I’m still figuring what to do to celebrate. (A celebration is in order, of course.) At first, I was going to twelve posts everyday for twelve months of blogging. But I don’t know if I would be able to pull it off, and it was very last-minute. There WILL be some really cool posts, though, including an interview with my little sister, a guest post from one of my favorite blogger (Audrey @ The Measure of a Book), my very own tag, a year of bookish-ness in review, and TWO 5-star reviews! So get ready for some of that headed your way!

How was your week? Are you looking forward to For the Bookish’s one-year blogoversary celebration? Tell me below!
