Stacking The Shelves #148/Sunday Post #80

Stacking The Shelves is hosted by Tynga's Reviews and Reading Reality as a way to share all the books we got during the week!

The Sunday Post is hosted by Kimberly @ Caffeinated Reviewer. Its a weekly post to showcase what books you got, recap the week, and talk about what will be coming up this week on the blog!


So this is what I've treated myself to since starting my job. I was super stoked to find The Cruel Prince B&N edition in stores again, so I grabbed a copy so it matches my Wicked King and soon to be released Queen of Nothing. 


I had to grab a copy of this and it was only $5.99 for kindle at release! 

Ok guys, I know I've been absent since I started my job essentially. It wasn't on purpose. It's just with my schedule its really thrown off things. I used to do all my blogging on Friday or Saturday and now I work both days so it's just hardcore thrown everything off. But on the brightside, working for Amazon is going really well. I'm one of the few people that's been cross trained multiple times. I know 6 things in my department now. most people only know 2, maybe 3. My manager has a lot of confidence in me since I learn really quick. So I'm one of the super versatile people for my shift. I actually spent Friday bouncing between 4 areas they needed help on. Honestly guys. I really love working for Amazon. They are giving me so much opportunity there to learn so many new skills and potentially move up. I've even trained people already. I'm actually gonna talk to my manager about becoming a learning ambassador after peak so I can train people more often. 

This job has also just been a huge help in general. They actually offer really good health insurance at a good price for me and Ana so I no longer have a huge stressor about our insurance. It covers a lot and the deductibles aren't super high either. So that's really nice. I was also able to replace my phone. My G6 was glitching hardcore and almost actually completely died twice. So I was able to just pay it off and get a new one. I ended up switching back to an iPhone. So I have an iPhone 11 now. But omg. Night and day with how well this phone works compared to the G6. Completely worth switching back. AND!!!!! I finally got a new car! After two years of not having a car I finally have my own car again. It's a 2013 Toyota Camry. I freaking love it! And it is AMAZING on gas. Which is great considering I drive 20 miles on the freeway to the other side of town for work, one way. So technically 40 miles both ways. I'm so happy this job has made it where I can afford to replace the things I needed now. The car thing especially has been a HUGE weight lifted off my shoulders. 

Anyways, I'm hoping to get back to blogging more now that I'm more used to my schedule now and I don't need all the extra sleep on my days off. LOL. It still might be a bit sporadic between thanksgiving and Christmas with peak and mandatory OT for work, but I'm hoping to be on here more again.

Wordless Wednesday - Claire Thomas from Food for Thought

I got this recipe from Claire Thomas who hosts the TV Show Food for Thought . She is the cutest, sweetest and so far my favorite tv chef. Her recipes are so easy and she seems to have a talent for making every recipe seem doable. I actually set my alarm on Saturday mornings to get up in time to see her show (when I am not working). This past week, she featured her Australian Pasta which you should really visit her blog and read the back story to why it is named this. Funny!! I also got a wild hair and decided to make her Cream Scones . Here is the pasta sauce while it is simmering. Here is the final dish. Australian Pasta with strawberries (just finished cutting them for the week's snacks, so I threw a few in) and her scones (bc I didn't make bread). Also, Claire if you are reading this, QUESTION - On your blog recipe, you didn't specify searing the sausage and taking them out of the pan while the onions and garlic cook. But in your show, I distinctly remember you keeping t...

90% Raw

I have been working on going raw for over a week now. Seems minimal, but I feel pretty good. So far. I did experience a HUGE day of food withdrawal. Sadly it was at work. LOL My poor boss. I lost it before lunch knowing I was going to have to eat my healthy lunch and all I wanted was crap. It was horrible. I was literally nuts for 20 minutes. Him pushing me to eat crap is what helped me choose to eat my healthy lunch. Ironic, huh? About two hours later, I felt the relief of normal again . (well semi-normal) So far I have struggled the most with making my lunch for work. I have to start making it the night before because I keep hitting snooze til I am running late. Damn. I have to get to sleep earlier. I am trying to leave leftovers in an easy to sort out container that I can just grab and go. My favorite part is grocery shopping. lol And enjoying my meals once I sit down. I am realizing that I am eating much slower and really tasting my food. I still read while I eat, but I notice I am...

Review - Crushed by KC Blake

Title: Crushed The Witch-Game #1 Author: K.C. Blake Publisher: Createspace Publish Date: July 30, 2011 Paperback, 262 pages GoodReads Barnes and Noble (Nookbook $2.99) Amazon I wasn't sure what to expect with this book, but it was on sale, it had some pretty good reviews amongst the blog world, so I thought I'd give it a go. Oddly enough, it was lots of fun. I really enjoyed it. These girls have a game they play every year. They pick boys that they can "crush" which equates to blowing witch dust on them and controlling them. They make fun of them, they play tricks on them and basically make them their slaves. It is cruel, but they don't seem to realize. Until they crush the wrong guy. Zach is a boy with special powers as well. But how long will Kristen try to play with him before he unleashes his fury? Summary - The Noah sisters rule Titan High with their beauty, brains, and magical powers. Each year they play a secret game: Crushed. The girls pick their ...
