What time is it and what are you doing?
12:56PM working the closing shift tonight, but thankfully have tomorrow off. Just planing on getting through today. Janie, I wasn't a fan of GOT either, and I don't plan on reading the rest of the series. Who knows, maybe I will revisit this in a few years and change my mind.
Michelle, So glad to see you posting. It has been quite awhile. Hope you are doing well.
Kathryn, I hope you enjoy your day free of errands.
Katy, I also hope you can make your lunch tomorrow. I will hope your migraine doesn't return.
Ok, I think I am all caught up on posts for today. I'll be checking in all night.
Thanks, Kathryn and Chris. I'm just hoping the colitis doesn't start up again!2:17 p.m. EDT Spending WAY TOO LONG going through all this e-mail. I always regret spending more than 12 hours between checking it... O.o
1:19PM Been reading Four Past Midnight. Gonna try and finish the Library Policeman before digging back into GOT. Then I will just have the Sun Dog to finish and will finally put an end to Four Past Midnight. No reason for it taking me this long to get through. But it a compilation of 4 different stories so I tend to take my time on books like that. After I put an end to that one I will start reading The Stand again and throw in Warm Bodies.
Janie, Let me know when you are going to start Warm Bodies. I have my name on the hold list at the library and I am next. If I can get it in time I would do a buddy read with you.
4:27 p.m. and I had to stop by the store on the way home from work. Have to work a twelve hour shift tomorrow, so I need to be up by 2 a.m. Still need to cook dinner and take a shower. Was gonna get laundry out of the way today, but that will wait. Don't know how much reading will get done today. If I'm in bed by 8 p.m. I will get six hours sleep, and that's IF I'm able to fall asleep right away. Feeling a bit better physically and I'm real happy about that. The pain is much more manageable. Still there, but a lot better. Reading in-between cooking and shower. We'll just see how that works out.
22.02Still on my animation quest watched
MONKEY BONE
FINAL FANTASY THE SPIRIT WITHIN that was the first animated movie after spending millions of dollars, they finally got hair right.
Cindy, glad you're feeling better, hope you managed a good night's sleep.11:06 p.m. EDT I am, in fact, hoping for a good night's sleep myself. I have quite a headache at the mo. We'll see. Enjoy rereading The Ghost in the Crystal, at Matt Posner's School of the Ages series is just freakin' awesome. Seriously, if you liked Harry Potter, you will love these. Not that they're anything the same, outside of being about a school of magic. Excellent stories... Now I want to hurry into the next one, but I need to sleep...
9:09 a.m. EDT I tried ALL NIGHT to sleep, but it just didn't work very well. Finally after Dmitry had been here scratching for an hour and a half instead of falling asleep like normally I huffed my way out of bed and took a long shower. NOW he's sleeping... *sigh* Anyway, I am bound and determined to go have lunch if it KILLS ME dammit... *laugh* So, I'm waiting for my hair and my house shoes to dry (hey, house shoes gotta be clean, too, just take 'em in the tub with me when I shower)... I'm meeting her right at noon, so plenty of time...Hi, Charlotte! Looking forward to chatting! What documentary did you watch?
11:36 AM. Good morning, GR! I'm sitting here about to read and drink some coffee. I waited up for Mark who got home at 1 AM, then he wanted to watch tv. So, we didn't go to bed until 2:30-ish. This schedule is wearing me out! Haha! Anyways, last night I ended up going to dinner with a friend I've had since high school. It was so nice to have some girl-time! I think we both needed that! So, since I had a change if plans yesterday, I didn't get much reading done. Today, I don't have anywhere to go, so I'm focusing on my reading, going for my hour run, then.....more reading! :)
617pm- it's pouring here right now-we've definitely had our share of rain this summer.Cindy-glad you're feeling better
Michelle- missed you too-hope you're feeling better and get your computer fixed soon
Katy- hope you enjoy your lunch!
Kathryn-glad you enjoyed your girl's night out!
hope all my gr friends are having a good day :D
6:44PM Siting outside grilling chicken. Got a beer and my book to keep me company. Have our friend over for dinner tonight as every week. Hope everyone is doing well. I haven't been on GR as much as I would like.
7:48PM Sorry guys was not around today at all. Took my oldest daughter out for her birthday which is not till Sunday, but today everyone was able to get together. She turns 25, sheesh where did the time go. So now I am home, ready to read and have some yummy creme brulee coffee! YUM.
Chris I would LOVE to read Warm Bodies with you, just let me know when you can start and I am ready. And I will be over for some of that grilled chicken hehe.
Cindy glad you are managing the pain better that is always awesome! Hope it continues to get better for you.
Kathryn how fun for you to go out for girl time! I think that is awesome. So nice to be able to take time for ourselves. Even better when we have a friend to share that time with.

I'll let you know as soon as the book is available at the library so we can get started.
Awesome Chris, I have been dying to read the book so I can watch the movie too. Dinner sounds incredible.
7:59 a.m. EDT Had a great time at lunch yesterday, but since I didn't sleep much the night before, and the waitress never refilled my Coke, I crashed hard about halfway through. So after I came home and chased my hubby off to work, I fell asleep. I was up reading for awhile in the middle of the night, but didn't open my computer, then more sleep. So... thus my long time away! Hah. Anyway, that was some good food, we went to a little off-the-beaten-track Mexican place run by (I think?) Salvadorans, and they had a small section of traditional food from their country, which was delish, but LOTS of food, so I didn't even manage to finish a third of it. I've never had fried plantains, which are quite tasty! So, while I was online briefly after I came home yesterday, I basically just deleted extra stuff, so now I have a LOT of e-mail to shuffle through. See you on the flip side...
10:34AM Had a good run this morning, now headed to Kay's school to hand in paperwork and then going to Dollar General to pick up a few things we forgot yesterday. Will be back soon to dig into GOT again.
12:50 p.m just got home from the laundromat, bank, and post office, resting a bit before I go to get the little one a haircut and go to the grocery store. Wanting to get back into my book.
2:22PM Just applied Color OOPS to Kay's hair. She is trying to get back to her original color, but found out from reading, Apparently Kay did not read everything, that this will take off the most recent color to her hair. It has been dyed black 2 times, so we will see what happens. She is hopeful. Have not started back with the book, but I will once we rinse kay.
3:00 PM. Whew! What a day it's been already. I didn't fall asleep until after 2:30 AM, and I had to be up at 8:15 so I could take Mark to get his haircut at ten, since he doesn't know how to get there. When we got home, we both crashed on our couches until one, then he got ready for work. Now that he's gone, I need to dishes, laundry, sweep, and I'm of course, going to read. :) happy Friday!
5:44 p.m. EDT Finally it's time to read the new School of the Ages book, but I'm so happy I re-read the first three. I LOVE those books! *happy sigh* Just clearing out some e-mail first. I think I left my PayPal card at the restaurant yesterday ... I was so tired and out of it I think I put it back into the folder rather than my wallet. So I just requested another from PayPal. *doublesigh*
5:55 PM. Going for my last hour run for the week! Thinking of kicking up the intensity today! Can't wait to sweat!!!!!!!
11:25 p.m. EDT Just checking in since hubby couldn't find his cell and I thought I'd send it a text and we'd hear it, but nope, he'd somehow turned it off. But he found it eventually anyway. What's gone retrograde to make us keep losing things this way? LOL
10:45PM Had a great dinner, we had baked chicken, wild rice, and fresh green beans. Then had a great work out, took a short swim after that. Now I am ready to settle in with Four Past Midnight. Hopefully get about half way through the last story. I am ready to mark this one as read!
11:48 p.m. EDT My cousin says she's currently (finally) uploading their wedding pictures, so I hope to be able to share one or two soon! wOOt!
10:54 PM. I did some laundry, the dishes, and some other cleaning before I had my run. Then I got rinsed off, ate a bowl of cereal, and have been reading. I took a nap for about 45 minutes because I'm sleepy, and I am trying to stay up long enough to see Mark when he gets home. Now I'm going to get back to reading. Have made great progress in my book. :)
12:03 a.m. EDT Waiting... my cousin was trying to upload all 180 pictures at once! I told my cousin to tell my cousin to do 'em in groups... Wow, that's confusing! But my cousin laughed when I said "previously existing cousin" and "new cousin." I guess I could just call 'em K and S...

Okay, here is a picture of us taken at my cousin's wedding, me and my husband Dmitry. It was actually at the reception, so my hair was down in a braid rather than up in the back.
8:13AM Just had some wheat toast and eggs fro breakfast. Will be running in about the next half hour. Randy at work, Derek getting ready to leave, Kay still sleeping. Gonna be another hot one today. My weekends don't feel like weekends anymore lol. Randy may get the weekends off again, we will see what happens.
May have some coffee after my run this morning, then gonna read some more of Four Past Midnight. Good morning everyone!

9:59 a.m waking up, hoping to have a good day. Dunno what we're doing today, but I wanna do something.
10:04 a.m. and I have to work today. Have two hours before I leave and it's pretty quiet around here so I'm reading and chilling with a cup of coffee.
9:52AM Had a great run, enjoying some coffee. Just shared a good deal on an ebook, Trick or Treat. I love Richie Tankersly Cusick. She wrote the Unseen series I read. Was fabulous. So now I went on facebook and I discovered this deal on an ebook from Ms. Cusick. I had to go to Amazon and check it out and I bought mine. LOL
Been doing some revamping round here. Thinking of a new design for the group. I love designing graphics, has been a passion for years. Now I need to work on Four Past Midnight, but oh no, I have Trick or treat now LOL. Maybe I will read that closer to Halloween. May be a good buddy read.

11:30 AM. Good Morning, GR! I have been up for about an hour, but Mark is still asleep. We decided to sleep in since his new schedule is wearing us both out, plus we went to bed late. When he gets up, I am going to make us breakfast, and I'm not sure what else we're doing today. I think we might take the kayaks out to a place where it is more of a nature trail, instead of a lake. It is supposed to be for our type of boats or a canoe. We've never been there, so that should be fun. I'm hoping to get closer to finishing my book. It seems every time I pick it up and start to get back into it, I get distracted somehow. The life of a reader I guess....;)
1:44 p.m. EDT Having a stormy day here, some thunder and rain. I suppose there's lightning, too, since there is thunder, but I'm not seeing the flashes, just hearing the rumbles. :-) Started reading an interesting steampunk story this morning. Will be back to that soon. Busy editing week coming up, as I've three shorts and a book to do.
1:28PM Been reading quite a bit, getting through the last story in Four Past Midnight. Hope to have it finished by this evening. Also checked around for web space servers. Good grief stuff has changed so much since I had my website. LOL, including FTP software, good grief. Throwing that right back on the back burner.
Kathryn, I am thinking of maybe waiting for Halloween and have something fun and halloweeny for when October comes around. I will also design something different for 'off holidays'. Looking forward to it.

Oh, that would be cute!! Maybe something for all of the holidays: Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentine's Day, etc! Haha, can you tell I love holidays? Haha!
3:58 PM. Well, change of plans. We were all ready to go kayaking, and when we called the place, they said it was all dried up. Oh well! We decided we are going to get up early in the morning and go to another place. My bathroom faucet started leaking, so we are at Lowe's buying a new one. Then.....Mark is taking me to......the bookstore!!!!! :)
Hey, Kathryn, just let the leak go and you can kayak in the bathroom? HAHAHA. Anyway, have fun at the bookstore!5:38 p.m. EDT I think I'll stick with the same author, since I have another of his books to read...
9:33PM Had a great work out, did some resistance training and then another great swim after that! I finally finished Four Past Midnight, the stories were pretty good in that one. Had my coffee, gonna read some more GOT I guess, or try to. Later we will be looking for the meteor showers, that should be awesome.
2:39 a.m. EDT I have so many books to review, but I need an upper after the downer (however engaging it was) I just read, so I think I'll go with one of Vera Nazarian's that I bought a few weeks back... I have a few other options I'm looking at, but we'll see.
9:54AM woke up late so I missed my run and right now the temps are already rising, so gonna do some resistance training instead. Had my breakfast, no coffee this AM did not feel much like it. Happy birthday to my sweet Daughter. She is 25 today!
