Happy Friday!
I have my fingers crossed for a nice quiet, project-free weekend. It won’t happen but I can dream.
Last weekend my youngest and I took a trip to college for orientation, which included a dorm sleepover and I, for one, am glad that I am not going away to college. The dorm room was so small and the beds were so uncomfortable. I have already ordered a thick mattress pad so hopefully she can get some sleep while she is away. I guess I am getting too old because the idea of dorm living is barely above camping in my list of things I am willing to do.
This week’s summer-themed book will take a turn into that other event which fills up summertime along with vacations and graduations–summer weddings with in Jackie Lau’s The Stand-up Groomsman.
Just leave a comment to be entered in this week’s giveaway. Anyone have any dorm survival tips that I can share with my kid?
Giveaway is for a paperback copy and ends Thursday, July 20th. Open to U.S. residents only.
Now get out there and read some books.
A bridesmaid and groomsman put their differences aside to get their friends down the aisle in this opposites-attract steamy romantic comedy.
They say to never meet your heroes, but when Vivian Liao’s roommate gets engaged to her favorite actor’s costar, she has no choice but to come face-to-face with Melvin Lee again. He’s just as funny and handsome as he is on-screen…but thinks she is a snob and a sellout. It’s none of his business how she chooses to live her life, no matter how charismatic he is.
Mel is used to charming audiences as an actor and stand-up comedian but can’t connect to Vivian. She’s a smart, talented artist–which is why he thinks she’s wasting her life as a corporate finance drone. The only thing uniting them is their goal for the wedding to go off without a hitch.
As they collaborate on wedding cake and karaoke parties, Mel realizes he might have seriously misjudged this bridesmaid, while Vivian discovers the best man might just be as dazzling off-screen as he is on. With the wedding underway, maybe more than one happily ever after is in the future.
Lol I recommend several bottles of fabreeze. Boy or girl doesn’t matter they’ll be busier than a bee in a bonnet and laundry will pile up before you know it.
quarters for laundry
They are fancy now. Card swipes and apps which notify them when their wash is done.
Can’t offer any advice. My girls were lucky enough to not have to stay in dorm rooms.
The mattresses are usually terrible, and a cheap-ish twin egg crate type topper will so be worth it in the long run!!
My order is already on its way. That mattress was awful!
I never lived in a dorm, but my main concern would be shared bathrooms – ick! I would definitely bring a bathrobe and flip-flops. Then again, maybe it’s not as bad as it sounds. 😄
