Nothing much going on...

....there really isn't. I finished out my week with naps and coffee. 

Friday I got my first order from Sand Cloud in...

2 XL Towels: Aloe (top) & Strawberry Acid Wash (bottom)

20oz Glass Water Bottle

These towels are HUGE!!

62" x 72"

I didn't quite comprehend this when I ordered..

Like... It's not even fully opened and it's hanging off my bed.

These are super lightweight too!

I actually packed one of the towels up with 2 books and the water bottle to go read in the park Saturday afternoon. Everything fit perfectly in my small Michael Kors tote. 

What's really awesome about Sand Cloud?

They donate 10% of profits to their Marine Life Partners.

If you follow them on Instagram they post beach cleanups ALL THE TIME!

I LOVE the beach.

You can save 15% on your order using code ERENCICH438 at checkout.

I'll definitely be ordering more.

So what else did I do....

I put forth some effort and went out all day Saturday.

It was mid/upper 80s here in San Antonio so I went to one of the outdoor malls.

Returned an order for American Eagle, bought some German Chocolate & Cotton Candy, and picked up a Funko Pop from the Care Bears line... Tenderheart.

Realizing I only needed one more to complete the collection I drove over to a different Barnes & Nobel and ended up finding the one I was looking for... Funshine.

Yes, I bought TWO.

But look at their bellies...

The one on the Left is perfect, Right side is upside down.

Thinking long term I couldn't pass the oopsie up.

Later that day I was in my room unpacking my books, towel, and water bottle from reading and I accidentally butt dialed one of my friends on Snapchat...

...how do you do that? I didn't even have the app open.

Sunday I stayed in bed attempting to read all day. Yes, attempting. I'm still trying to get through the 3rd and final book in the Arkwell Academy Trilogy. It's really like the last 75 pages that get all exciting. The rest is kinda drawn out. Ugh... half the book to go.

That being said I'm gonna go be sad because Starbucks fudged my order this morning. I'm sure you can imagine my disgruntled face....

Here's some amusement for ya...

Hello Hello!

No, I haven't forgotten about you. I've just been a tad busy...

It's been quite the week already and it's only Wednesday. 

So Monday my day started out like this...

...my coffee is super extra as my buddy, Brewer, would say. It's supposed to taste like caramel then once you swallow its got this kick of chocolate covered raspberries which is like heaven. It was all raspberry flavor and no caramel or chocolate on Monday.

But then later that day we went to get lunch...

...and Brewer got a kick out of my brownie chomping abilities.

THEN Tuesday happened. Tuesday just started off bad...

...my breakfast made quite the mess. Then we went to check in with our platoon sergeant...

 ...and Brewer got all crabby so we went to Starbucks where I surprised him...

...and no, I never got that nap. Instead I finished reading A Fractured Light by Jocelyn Davies and started A Radiant Sky.

BUT one good thing about Tuesday, April 24th... my bestest friends birthday. Now, if you know me then you know that when it comes to my friends I tend to spoil... well I've gone above and beyond the spoil level... like I think I'm at 10 books plus other stuff which I can't share on here in case she reads this like a good best friend would. But I'll definitely share a picture of the ginormous package she will be getting once EVERYTHING gets here and I've wrapped it all. I'm waiting on 3 more packages to come in the mail, so that's something to look forward to and it's kept me super busy.  

And today... well today wasn't eventful. I had physical therapy at 7, so no breakfast or coffee with Brewer. However, because he "needed" me today he now owes me coffee AND a muffin tomorrow morning... so there's that. 

Ohhh!!! I subscribed to The Bookworm Box FINALLY!!!

What's everyone else been up to? 

Hello Lovelies!

Hello Hello Hello

It's been a couple years and I've been all over the place. 

LITERALLY!

I moved from...

West Virginia 

to

South Carolina

to

Georgia

to

North Carolina

to

Texas

...over the course of 4 years!

I've taken time off from reading, 

got into it a little, 

fell out of it, 

and back into it again.

 Now that I'm in Texas I've been given some downtime from Army Life... if that's what you want to call it. I'm currently waiting on orders to go from my current location in Texas to a different location in Texas so I can have hip surgery. During the day I'm really not doing a whole lot... Get up at 4am, go to formation, go workout for 40 minutes at the gym, check in with my NCO between 7-8am, hit up any of my pre-surgery appointments, and relax until 5pm when we have another formation. And it's been like this for about 3 weeks now and I'm reading again or binge watching TV if my brain gets fried. Oh, I've also been spending way too much money online shopping... Oops!

So to make a long story short, part of me wants to pick back up on this whole blogging thing I was doing soooooooo many moons ago. However, this time it won't all be about books. I guess you can say that my changing the blog name way back when was kind of a foretelling of my future. Where this used to be "Doodle's Book Blog" where I strictly blogged about books, it's now "Bookish Diversion" meaning I just get distracted by them. So what I'm planning on doing is more of a life blog. Blogging about my day to day adventures, to include my upcoming drugged up post-surgery shenanigans, book reviews, product reviews, relationships, and other silly things I think are worth putting out there. So bear with me over the coming week while I get back into the swing of things. 

What I'm Doing Now:

- Reading A Beautiful Dark Trilogy by Jocelyn Davies

- Reading The Arkwell Academy Trilogy by Mindee Arnett

- Reading MANGA!! Some turd got me into it. LOL

- Spending money on clothes... I'll be sure to rant about a company soon!

- Physical Therapy 3ish times a week for pre-surgery strenghtening

- BEING BORED OUT OF MY MIND

So Where Does That Leave Me?

That leaves me asking you guys to send me ideas...

What should I post about?

What do you want me to rant about?

What are you interested in seeing?

Book recommendations?

FILL ME OUT

All the input is greatly appreciated!!!

Hello All!

Hello All!!

   It's been a long time since I've checked on my blog. I'm finally settled in at my new home and with my new job. I'm hoping to find time to update this more regularly. I've been reading about 1-2 books per month since June and I'm hoping to keep that trend. 

   I've been reading more and more paperback/hardcover books and because of that I may start giving them away because it doesn't make sense for me to keep all these books in my small room. I just don't have the space. So you may end up seeing giveaways on here as I read. Who knows. I'll be back soon. xoxo
