What time is it and what are you doing?

Terri, Chris, Thank you. G'night!
12:22 a.m. EDT This first book in the Barefoot Sisters memoirs is wonderful!!
12:16 AM. I'm bad. I have been messing around on my phone while I'm in bed, after I said I was going to read. Haha! I think I'm just too sleepy, though. Goodnight, GR..Terri, I like Kate, too. Very talented. Sandro has issues, so I was glad he eliminated himself. Ken has an attitude problem, but I was glad he apologized to Helen tonight. I actually think he should have gone home tonight, but Karen's was pretty bad, too. I also don't care much for Alexandria. I like Tim Gunn, too. He seems like such a nice guy, and like its not fake for the show. I'm glad Charlie is a comfort for you. I totally understand what you mean by that. Gizmo is my comfort bug. Her warmth and presence really relaxes me. I will be praying for you. I hope the doctor can help you on Monday, and like Chris said, I'm sorry your appointment is still a few days away. I hope you have a great time at the library and are able to make a great haul. Give Charlie a hug for me for taking care of my friend. :)
Kathryn, I totally agree about Ken on PR! He is a supreme jerk, won't listen to anyone else, and thinks he knows everything. I loved it when he told that girl not to even look at him. Such a prima dona. I still haven't watched last night's episode, but I'm looking forward to it. *hugs* back from Charlie!
9:57 AM. Good Friday morning, GR!!!! I've been up for a while, but I think I need some coffee to wake me up a bit more. I plan on finishing Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption in a few minutes, then hopefully getting through most of the second story in Different Seasons. I want to get some house cleaning done so I don't have to worry about it this weekend, but it can wait until later this afternoon.

Will be making my salads here in a few minutes, for the week. So much easier to have them made ahead of time. Just dump them in the bowl and eat. LOL Will have lunch and then a 9 minute mission work out. I hope everyone has a good day!
10:25AM Good morning GR friend's. I'm not going to lie I am on auto pilot today. I am even more tired than yesterday and it is a personal victory just to hold my eyes open. I will be hanging out here for most of the day seeing as I am at work, but not sure how talkative I will be. I'll try to keep up on everything if I can. Doubt I'll read since that might send me in to a deep sleep I won't be able to wake up from.
Chris, hope you can find something to wake you up! Being so tired at work makes the day seem to never end. I hope work goes quickly for you so you can go home and sleep. Janie, last night Mark asked if I had seen any King hardbacks yesterday. I told him I had, and there was a hardback of Firestarter I had picked up, but thought it was too much. He said I can always buy whatever books I want. I thought to myself, "Dangit!!!! I knew I should have bought that book!!!!!" But, I told him I always like to be frugal, and usually in my case, if I wait, give it time, I can find what I'm looking for at a cheaper price later on. However, I'm kicking myself now because something inside of me told me I should buy it! Haha!

Chris sorry that you are so tired. That stinks when you are work. I hope that you are able to keep yourself awake today. I will be looking for your posts till about 3:00 because we are taking my Son out for his birthday.

I always like going out with my Dad for my birthday. Hope you guys have a good time. Busy week for you it seems. Shopping with Kathryn yesterday and now a family night out.
I really hope the day goes by quickly. I'm trying to busy myself with stuff while we are slow.
Mod
Chris, Yeah busy weeks call for days gone quickly by, and the closer we get to December when I get to visit my Indiana Family for Christmas! But first my favorite season, Fall, and my other favorite holiday! Halloween!
Yea the busier you are the faster time goes.
Janie wrote: "11:37AM Made my salads and just had one for lunch along with a pear. Cleaned up after myself in the kitchen. Soon will do a short work out, then get a shower. I think I am gonna stop on The Passage..."Halloween is my favorite holiday also. I love it. Can't wait to start decorating. We cant do much since funds are tight but one day I hope to have the scariest house on the block. Winter is my favorite season. I love the bitter cold.

Janie wrote: "LOL Chris I hate the bitter cold that is why I love Texas, none of the below zero stuff here. LOL I hear ya on the 'tight funds' but we don't really decorate all that much now that we have Aves, we..."My son is the same way. He was 2 last Halloween and he said he wanted to be a scary pumpkin. My wife made the costume. and I designed the face. Even with a scary jack o lantern face he was more cute than scary. This year he wants to be Robin. He wants me to be Batman but I don't think I want to walk around in costume with him trick or treating.
Janie wrote: "6:15PM Wow what a great adventure! I loved meeting up with Kathryn, and as she said it was indeed like getting together with an old friend. There were none of those 'awkward pauses' LOL We did a lo..."IM JEALOUS. LOL!!! I am so glad you both hooked and enjoyed each other company. This made my Friday
12:24 PM. I just finished reading the first short story in Different Seasons, which is Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption. Really good story. I think I'm going to take a pause for a bit and do a few things around the house. This way, I can read later and not feel guilty, and I won't have to have that feeling of knowing I need to clean later on. I'm still debating on whether or not I want to ask my friend if she wants to hike the trail tonight, or run at home. I kind of want to do the trail tonight, but it's Friday, and I love Friday nights with my husband. We'll see how I feel later on, I guess. Missing my boy today for some reason...He'll be home soon though, and then I'll want him to go do woodwork out in the garage so I can read. haha! Hope everyone is having a great day! :)
Terri, I hope I didn't spoil too much for you on last night's PR!! So sorry about that!!!

What's up, Holly? Hope everything is okay.4:09 p.m. EDT Umm, hmmm... Dmitry left something like 40 minutes ago to buy me a smoothie before he went to work and he's not back yet. The place is only 5 minutes away, and yesterday when I went in it was completely dead, no wait, and took me about 3 minutes to receive my smoothie, so I'm a bit concerned. Maybe he managed to forget what he was doing and just went to work? I hope nothing happened. This is why I need my own cell phone; I can't even call to find out if something happened. *worried*
4:12 p.m. EDT He just drove in. That was weird.
4:46 PM Just got done reading Criminal By Terra Elan McVoy and omg it was amazing I absolutely loved it!! Now to get ready to support my Saluda Tigers at the football game tonight
5:10 p.m. EDT Dmitry stopped to pick up some lunch for himself. Cool. Delicious smoothie. He noted I could buy a dinner for the price, and I pointed out that this WAS my dinner... Solid food and I are still not consistently agreeing with one another. On the plus side, I did lose 12 lbs in the past 6 weeks or so... O.o
Holly - Hope your spirits get lifted soon. Been there done that, and sometimes there's just nothing anybody can say or do. Have you in my thoughts anyway.
Katy - Wonder why you are having trouble with the solid food? Been ill? Sorry I only went back a little ways on the posts. Hope you feel better soon.
Heather - Have fun!
Janie and Kathryn - So glad you guys had a blast. One of these days I still plan to make it down there and we can all go out.
I am getting ready to leave for a couple of hours. Plan to get some reading in tonight because I don't have to be at work until 12:30 p.m. tomorrow. Six days a week is getting a little old but I need the money. Talk to you good folks later.

Cindy, having trouble with my colitis. Solid food often leads to lots of pain. It comes and goes.6:59 p.m. EDT Hauled some books out of the car last week so we could fit the wheelchair into the trunk, so been bringing them in from the box on the porch a few at a time to add to my database and update where applicable those already on my shelves. The trunk is still full of books, though... O.o
Hope you feel better soon Katy.
10:54 p.m. and I haven't been home long. Was gonna try to read tonight but I'm so tired I don't know if that's happening or not. If I end up going to bed, I plan to get up early. Don't have to be at work until 12:30 p.m. so I can read for a couple of hours in the morning.
11:17pm ET. FRIDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL!!! Went to the varsity game to watch my son play. Great game and he did pretty darn good......don't ask me his position, I am his mother, not his coach! hehehehe...
he just told me Right Tackle.....whatever the hell that is.. :O
Kathryn wrote: "Lmbo Alondra!!!!!"hehhehehe....
10:33 PM. Mark and I went for a three mile walk, then made a few stops on our way home. I cooked dinner right when we got home, so....I am going to get a shower, make a cup of coffee with my delicious fat free hazelnut creamer and hopefully keep on reading Apt Pupil in Different Seasons. And of course....watching for GR updates. :)
11:42 p.m. EDT Taking a break to clear e-mail before the big push to finish the book.
Lol, when I was working in my family's old restaurant a few years back, and my lil brother was playing football in high school, a customer asked me what position he played, and I couldn't remember, and said center back or something, because I vaguely remembered my brother had said center something or something back... lol. So customer busts out laughing like, OMG you're a ditz. I was embarrassed, specially since his sons were laughing too, I was like... sue me! I dunno nothing about football! >.< But it was kinda funny. It's 11:44 p.m and I'm doing some catching up on GR, babe had all week off so I didn't have much time to get online, or read. Not complaining though, love it when he's home and we can go do stuff with the kiddo. Tonight I went to Goodwill with my mad money and scored some goodies that I'm gonna post over in the new books thread. I'm happy about that. Stinky dog is laying near me, but he went for the car ride, so he's happy too. Needs a bath though. I let the cat in, he's over in the corner under the box lid propped against the wall. Thinks it's his own private lean-to or something I guess.
Glad to see everyone's mostly good on a Friday night :D

I feel a little sleepy, so I am thinking I will be moving my stories over to my site rather than reading. I am afraid I will topple out of my chair. LOL
12:15 AM. I am starting to get sleepy so I decided to see how many pages were left in this short story. Ummm...this one makes up half of the book! Not finishing this one tonight!! Lol! Goodnight, GR!
2:01 a.m. EDT About to start a re-read of Weston Kincade's first book before I read the sequel. I can't find my 2nd e-reader USB cord, though... I guess it must've fallen out, so I'll have to load the sequel on my Kindle tomorrow. Hope everyone has a good night!

10:22am ET. Not ready to get out of bed... i just want to be lazy, read, play on the computer and watch my behind spread.... ah well, Chores and Errands call me. No fattening up today, I guess! HA!

No fattening up today, I guess! HA!"Being lazy sounds awesome. I seem to always be busy, yet I don't get any thinner. One of these days I will try that exercise thing. I hear it is good for you, but that means I'd have to get off my cruddy couch. :-)

I have done the exercise thing, and it is not all it's cracked up to be.... hehehhe
9:30 AM. Goooooood morning, GR! Just ate some delicious cinnamon rolls fresh out of the oven, drinking some hazelnut infused coffee, and getting ready to go to a new state park for a look around. :)

You dig up a doctor, and you pay him 20 menthol Kools to do a surgical shine job on your eyeballs.
2:29 p.m. In some pain today. Walking sure does take it's toll....

Terri, Things are going well with the family. My little one will be 4 months on the 10th, and my son is just getting so big to fast. Work still is miserable but it's a paycheck. I need to keep the job till I can find something better or write my book and have it do well.
I hope your pain can be managed better and I wish your appointment wasn't so far away. Hugs your way as well as good thoughts.
11:12PM, catching up on some recorded shows and writing my blog post for tomorrow. Just some quiet time with my wife.
