The Hunger Games series was especially good. It was a really quick read and I loved the characters. It was definitely emotional at times and I was totally engrossed. 

I'm taking a web design class right now...learning how to build a web page. I'm sure I'll have to take more classes, but the end goal is to make a professional porfolio web page for myself, as well as spruce up this blog with some more personal designs. Hopefully that will give me an edge when apply to jobs in the future, because for now I'm still stuck in retail. It's back to OfficeMax for me, full time, but still not what I was looking for. Oh well...my time will come eventually.

Still no noteworthy progress in writing or exercise. Eventually those will become regulars in my life!

Reminder about the walk for cancer as well. I can't believe it's already September! In just a few weeks my family will be walking the five miles together, and we appreciate any support! Hopefully by next year we'll have some team t-shirts as well. I worked up a little design for us, but we didn't get on the ball soon enough this year.
Here's the link to donate online!
