Calling in reinforcements

Every once in a while, I go through a bit of a blogging slump.
There just doesn’t seem to be much going on, and I don’t feel I write well enough to turn the daily mundane into the readable love story to life that some bloggers are able to.
I stand in awe of writers like Stephanie [...]

Fall Into Reading 2009

Katrina at Callapidder Days is once again hosting Fall Into Reading.
It’s a no-pressure, no-stress way to get people to put down the remote, step away from the screen, and open up a book.
I plan on participating this time around, and hopefully I will have a bit more success than I did with the Spring Reading [...]

Spring Reading Thing Wrapup

I’m going to call this one a draw.
While I didn’t read every book on my list, I did read an extra book that wasn’t on the original list.  I never got into Emma, but I read The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.
I’ve decided that reading Jane Austen is like reading Shakespeare…blah.  I love WATCHING [...]

Spring Reading Thing 2009

It’s time once again for the Spring Reading Thing hosted by Katrina at Callapidder Days!
The challenge runs from March 20th to June 20th. Pick some books and then read them in that time. Pretty simple, heh?
I seem to have lost my reading mojo. I’m not reading nearly as much as I used [...]

Duh-60

Shhhhh…
Don’t tell anybody, but I have always kind of wanted to be a photographer.  I’ve always wanted to be able to look at something and see something noone else did…and then put it on film.  Or digital memory.  Whatever.
I’ve been complaining about our camera to Dave for quite a while.  It just didn’t take that [...]

Fall Into Reading Wrapup

If you look over on my sidebar there, you can see my status.
I didn’t do so well.  Oh well.
I had 6 books on my list and I only finished a miserable little one book.  And I didn’t even really like it all that much, which was disappointing because I really like Nicholas Sparks.
I was able [...]

Fall Into Reading – My list!

I am keeping this fall’s list short for two reasons:  With moving, unpacking, new jobs, new schools, new town to explore, blah, blah, blah…I’m not sure how much time I’m actually going to have to read.  I’d like to aim for 30 minutes a day.  We’ll see about that.  The other is that I have [...]

How many books have I read?

Found this awesome meme a while ago and I just found it in my drafts folder.  I completely forgot about it!
This gives me something to work towards…..
How many have you read??
Apparently, the National Endowment for the Arts believes that the average American has read only 6 of the books on the list below.
1) Look at [...]

Get your lists ready!

The Fall Into Reading Challenge hosted by Katrina at Callapidder Days is only a few weeks away! With all the craziness going on around here, I am definitely looking forward to the distraction.
The challenge starts on September 22nd and she’ll have all the challenge information up at her site on September 8th!
I can’t wait [...]
