Links to Love
Hello Lovelies!
I hope y'all had a great weekend, I've been very busy this week between the new puppy, Nashville, work, school, and now physical therapy, so sorry this is up late! But, better late than never!
Thankfully I have tomorrow off work and physical therapy, so I plan on blogging most of the day. I also have to go see my chiropractor so he can look at my MRI and tell me if he will still see me.
Anyway enough about my crazy week, here's this week's (last week's) Links to Love!

Off To Nashville...
Hello Lovelies,
I know it's been a week since I last posted, but I worked 38 1/2 hours last week and I just couldn't find time to post. I'm hoping I can write tomorrow, because today I'm headed off to Nashville for a doctors appointment.
If you've been reading my blog for a while then you know I love Nashville, so the two hour drive doesn't bother me. I'm ready to get there, see this new doctor and make a plan for fixing my back.
Hopefully I get home early enough to write a post for tomorrow, but if not I'll try to get one up Wednesday.
XoXo,
Lori

Top Ten Authors I've Read The Most Books From
Hello Lovelies!
Top 10 Tuesday is a weekly link-up hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.
This week's theme: Author's I've Read The Most Books From.
The truth is I like finding new authors and reading new books. Of course there's a few authors whose books I will always read, which is why I decided to share these 7 authors with you!
Johanna Lindsey
If you've been reading my blog for a while then you probably know Johanna Lindsey is one of my favorite authors in the entire world. I've read so many books by her, easily over 25, and I STILL have more to read!

Sara Shepard
I read the PLL series before the TV show came out and I loved the books, since then the author has released more books in the series, but I haven't read them yet, I have three of her new releases, I just haven't had time to read them.
L.J. Smith
I love L.J. Smith's Night World series and I've been patiently waiting for the last book in the series for nearly 10 years. Honestly I don't think we're ever going to get it, but I'm still hopeful.

Hello Lovelies!
I hope y'all have had a great weekend, I spent this weekend working and I am so happy that I get tomorrow and Tuesday off. I was planning on posting this Yesterday, but I was too tired. I worked Friday night 5pm-2am, and then I had to be back at work Yesterday at 10:30am for another shift. By the time I got home last night I barely had the energy to take a shower and once my head hit the pillow I was out and didn't wake up till 1pm.
Thankfully I only work 4 1/2 hours today, so maybe I won't be too tired tomorrow. Tomorrow I have to get bloodwork done and an MRI on my lower back. After that I'm planning on coming home to work on some blog posts for the week and get some homework done!

August Goals
Hello Lovelies!
I hope you all had a great weekend! Sadly I had to work and I was also sick over the weekend, so that made working even worse. Honestly I'm still not feeling all that great, but thankfully I already have an appointment with my doctor today, so I won't have to wait too long to see what's wrong.
Before I get into my goals for the month I have some really exciting news! I finally got a new internet provider!!!! No more data caps and no more limited bull crap. I can finally go back to blogging like I used to and I can FINALLY finish my blog re-design! It's been so long since I first started the re-design process, and I'm so happy I can finally finish it.
It won't be finished this week, but I'm hoping that I can finish it by next week or the following week!
