Gym, motivation, and a new book

I'm sure many of you noticed on April Fools' Day that there were several online pranks. For example: Google changed their name to Topeka, since Topeka, KS changed their name to Google, and Starbucks introduced a 128 oz coffee cup. Well on April 1st, I also got an email from Amazon informing me that I could pre-order a new Stephenie Meyer book called, "The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner." I thought, "this has GOT to be a joke." So I did what any Stephenie Meyer fan would do, and I ordered it! I assumed I'd get some sort of "ha ha we tricked you" page. All I got was a receipt page letting me know my order had gone through. Well today I was NOT motivated in any way to go to the gym and it was way too hot outside to go running and I was pleasantly surprised when I opened a package addressed to me only to find a new book for me. I was then good and went to the gym, just so I could read my new book.

My favorite part about Stephenie's book is the fact that $1 of each book purchased will go to the American Red Cross, don't you think that's a little ironic that she's donating money for a vampire book to an organization that also collects blood?

Also, you can just read the book for free here, Stephanie Meyer wrote it as a "gift to her fans"
