Thursday: What I just finished reading and THE PUZZLE IS COMPLETED!

So, I'm going to start this post off with, THE PUZZLE IS COMPLETED!  Hallelujah, and I am so thankful!  My future DIL loves to do puzzles (where the heck has she been hiding that secret) and sat down one night just popping pieces in right and left.  Did I want to kill hug her neck till I squeezed the life out of her couldn't any longer, because she was so dang quick?  Well, of course I did! Ha!  Seriously, that girl is awesome with puzzles!  Anyhow, after the kids left, I had one of my "I can't sleep" nights (kind of like this one), so I worked on that puzzle until I finished it!  It is currently at Hobby Lobby being framed, for quite a bit of $$, but I deserve it cause it took a LONG time to do the stupid thing!  Here is a pic of the finished product (pre-framed):

And the quote from the future DIL when I sent her the pic of the finished product?  "Are you going to do another one?"  HECK NO!  That one was a "cross this off the old bucket list - finishing a 1000 piece puzzle"!  She, however, ordered another one from Amazon! Ha!


After I finished the puzzle, I needed something else to do when I had my "I can't sleep" nights, instead of being on the computer, so my daughter recommended a book series she just finished.  BTW:  she and my son take after their momma and LOVE to read - I consider that a WIN for me!  A plus, I think the future DIL loves to read too!  SCORE!!  This is our motto around here:

The series she recommended begins with "The Maze Runner".  Kind of, sort of like "The Hunger Games" and the "Divergent" series in a twisted kind of way.  Haha!  That was a real attention grabber, huh?  It's futuristic, has some violence (depending on how vivid your imagination is), is coming out as a movie in the near future, and has NO FOUL LANGUAGE!!  I Know, right?!!  It's classified as Teen Fiction, but, hey, I'm a Teen times 3 plus some! Ha!  I am also still in the 6th grade, so it's still allowed!!   Anyway, read the book!  I'm on book 2 now, called "The Scorch Trials".  Started it tonight, about 2 hours ago, and am 1/4 of the way through.  Had to make myself stop!  

There you have it!  Thanks for stopping by!  Happy Thursday, and hmm... I think I'll read just one more chapter!!  Haha!!
