The Book That Ruined Me for All Future Reads

As my elaborately-worded title suggests, my future reading endeavors have been foiled.
I read this great book in which I fell in love with the characters and became thoroughly attached to them and what happened?
It ended.
Just like that.
And you know what, I can't move on.
I'm ruined.

I'm Sorry, Mother Nature

I can only imagine that this recent frigid weather and single digit temperatures is due to the fact that I called for the end of winter.
Mother nature is doing this to spite me.
While I am happy to know that she is a Sunshiny Beat reader, I wish she would have just told me that my weather tirade upset her.
Instead, I have subjected all of Southern California to a Canadian air pressure and for that, I apologize.
Whether it's too late, I just don't know.
I mean, she froze our fountain.
She must be pretty steamed.

We can start a petition.

Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows


I'm not sure why, but this delightfully upbeat tune was running through my head as I was putting this post together.
It seems like a good outlook for 2013.
This year my days will all be sunshine, lollipops and rainbows dang it.
I won't take no for an answer.
