Thursday Thirteen

This past weekend, when my parents took Jake and Emma for a few days, I was able to do several things I just don’t have time for anymore…

Go to the library and actually have time to BROWSE for books. Too bad that all the books I was browsing for were already checked out, so [...]

Spring Reading Thing

Today is the first day of The Spring Reading Thing being hosted by Katrina at Callapidder Days. I feel like my reading time is dwindling, so I’m not sure how many of these books I’ll actually get through, but I hope I can finish (or at least start) all of them.

Thursday Thirteen - Books to Read

I have been hearing about a lot of good books lately, so I have started trying to keep track of some of them. I don’t read nearly as quickly or as often as I used to, but it’s something that I’ve been trying to work back into my daily life. Here are the [...]

Fall Into Reading 2007 - Book List

It’s time again for the Fall Into Reading Challenge over at Callapidder Days. I really look forward to her challenges because my reading seems to slack off between. This way, I know I’m at least getting some (hopefully) good books in every 6 months or so! I’m anxious to get started, but because I don’t [...]

Coming Soon To a Blog Near You!

Quite a few things coming up here in the next few weeks. Well, o.k. I guess I only really know of 2, but if I had to venture a guess there’s a lot more than that. Anyway.
Next Wednesday (September 19th) is the official start of the new challenge over at Tales from the Scales. Beth [...]

Happy Birthday to….ME!

Well, my birthday is tomorrow, (or today if you are reading this on Thursday) and I’m pretty happy about that. Overall, I say it’s pretty cool that I was born. Thanks, Mom and Dad!
Dave is out of town so I planned myself a big day for tomorrow (or today)…
1. Take kids to [...]

Spring Reading Thing Wrapup

The Spring Reading Thing is officially at an end, so it’s time to do a wrap up post. Katrina gave us a list of questions that we could answer so I thought that would be the easiest way to post about it.
What was the best book you read this spring? The best new book I [...]
