Hey guys, 

So...let's pretend I don't have a super heavy guilty conscience about disappearing and that I haven't been super busy and unable to do anything remotely geek related. Instead, let's catch up! I've missed you guys! 

Where to start? I've been super busy at work. I got a promotion and am doing an entirely different job that is either super busy and stressful OR not busy at all. The busy days are awesome, even if stressful, and the boring days make me feel less guilty about having to leave for the million appointments I have (more on that in a minute). It also makes me feel much less guilty about taking the time off work that I have been avoiding taking off, even though I desperately need it. I am now on my sixth consecutive day of a staycation, with three more days to go. That's right, ladies and gents, this girl is taking Halloween off. WOOT WOOT!! 

I've also been busy with school. I'm only taking one class at a time because that's all Tuition Assistance will cover. My class however is only eight weeks long, and my teacher has thus far had us write two papers, one six pages and one ten pages. I may or may not be avoiding writing a six page paper that's due Sunday night. But let's not focus on that right now. Moving on. 

In other news, my amazing boyfriend and love of my life asked me to marry him. It was the most absolute amazing moment and I couldn't possibly explain the emotion that I was feeling when I said yes. We've set a date, the dress is bought, and we're beyond thrilled. My maid of honor and several of my closest friends have been helping me accomplish so much since the engagement and I am so honored. 

Finally, I am starting a YouTube channel as a companion to this blog! And a place to put all of my plan with me videos...because I'm obsessed. 

I'm currently: 
Reading: Working my way through an ABC challenge and currently on F - Ghosts of Ascalon by Jeff Grubb and Matt Forbeck. It's F because Forbeck.
Listening: To a little bit of everything
Watching: Nanatsu no Tazai (Seven Deadly Sins) - Just finished check back next week. Criminal Minds (SEASON 8 / 11). And anxiously awaiting Doctor Strange.

January Reading Challenge - Jam Jar January with Books and Munches

-
Happy New Year, everyone! I can't believe 2019 is already here. This year has been the longest, hardest year of my life, but I learned a lot of things about life, about myself, and about the strength to carry on. My advice to you is this. Take care of yourself first and foremost. No one is going to do it for you, loves. I love all of you and may this year bless you and yours with everything you need and everything that will benefit you in the long run. I read 40 books this year, so that was a great achievement on my part. This year I'm upping the ante and not only am I upping the number of books to read (50 books!), but I'm also participating in the monthly read-a-thons hosted by Books and Munches. January's theme is Jam Jar January, where you put all of the books you wanted to read in 2018 and put them in a jar (or in my case a Harry Potter mug I received as a holiday gift) and pick some out. I picked six and left the rest in the mug in case I finish or DNF the lis

Hey everyone, We're back with a Five Fandom Friday. :D This one means a lot to me. I've always wanted to travel, so let's get started. 1. Japan As an anime fan girl, gamer, and overall lover of Japanese culture, Japan is one of my ultimate destinations. The Fiance was stationed there for two years and LOVED it. I've never left the States. Needless to say, I am SUPER jealous. This will be remedied though, as this is our honeymoon destination or at least it's on our list of places to go within the next two years. This lovely picture is Akihabara, a.k.a. NERD PARADISE. This is where the Pokemon and Studio Ghibli stores are. Not to mention countless arcades, themed cafes, stores, and so so much more. I can't wait. 2. Disney World I grew up for the most part in California. I've been to Disneyland and Sea World, but I have never been to Disney World. This may seem like a minor problem, which it probably is, but I feel the need to go to the Happiest p
