10:14 a.m. EDT Spent the night alternately sleeping and not sleeping... Heh. Managed some dreams, so that tells me at least I had a couple decent bouts. This new book I'm reading is describing the Cairngorms in Scotland, and it sounds just beautiful.
10:41 a.m. Having some coffee and getting a few things done before I go to work. Don't really feel like it today, but oh well.

10:57AM I haven't felt like being social much this week. Nothing is wrong other than the normal stress. Just haven't felt talkative. I'm getting out of that funk I guess. Working today but have tomorrow off. Finished The October List this week and it was amazing. One of the best books I have ever read. Hope everyone is doing well. I am behind on how everyone is.
Thanks Chris. I hope it goes good too.
12:31pm EDT. Thanks for all the good wishes everyone, it means a lot to me! Getting stronger every day and getting back into reading and my other normal routines. It feels good! We've been having beautiful fall weather--cool nights and warm sunny days, just gorgeous, at least from the inside. Plan on just reading for the rest of the afternoon, ordering food in for dinner so I don't have to cook yet. Thanks for the reading suggestions Chris and Rachel! I like Sarah Addison Allen, and The October List sounds good, I just ordered it from the library. Have a great day everyone!
11:56 a.m. Off to work.....have a great day everyone! :-)
12:58 p.m. EDT I feel really tired, despite probably ending up with close to 8 hours of sleep last night. Have to stay awake a while longer, though, to wake hubby up for work. It's a bright day outside and I heard a huge variety of birds calling. Pretty cool.
6.20 pm - off to relax in the bath with my book. Then I am going to have an early night I think, night everyone x
1:40 p.m just checking in. Stayed up til 4 a.m messing around online, so got up late (11:30! Eek), though amazingly little guy slept in too, so that was good. Will try to get to bed earlier tonight for sure. Don't really have any plans for the day, except for trying to get some reading accomplished. Would like to get outside and do something at some point, maybe pick up around the yard and stuff if I get motivated.
4:24 p.m. EDT Tried to take a nap but once I laid down I wasn't able to fall asleep. I hate when that happens... LOL At least I have a pretty cool book to read.

4:34pm waiting for 5:30pm to meet for group work at school!
7:10pm ET. Home late from work; but it is my Friday today. Cydney will be here tomorrow from Auburn for Brians Homecoming game; and half the family. This will be a long, but fun weekend. Lots of good reading, family time and good food.. :D
Alondra, sounds like you have a great weekend ahead of you. Hope Brian wins his game!
Kathryn wrote: "Alondra, sounds like you have a great weekend ahead of you. Hope Brian wins his game!"Thanx, Kathryn! It will wear me out, but will be a bunch of fun. I hope his team wins, but they did horribly last week, they have no passing game and the next team does... as long as they don't blow us out. Brian will be upset if they lose... :O
9:40 PM. Project Runway is over until next Thursday, so now I'm sad. :( haha! I noticed I didn't post in here today, but I have been busy job hunting, and for the past few hours I've been trying to get over my headache. My workout made it worse....:/, but the Aleve I took is finally working. That's the last time I miss my coffee in the morning!! Gizmo kitty girl is curled up on my lap, so since Mark is watching tv, I think I will read. I actually haven't read in a few days, even though I've tried to. It's not that Doctor Sleep is bad, I've just been distracted. Hope everyone is having a lovely evening or morning. :)
Mod
Alondra hope you have a great weekend!
9:46 PM I just got oit of HPB! I will post all the books I got later:) Is everyone excited for the weekend?
Mod
Yes Victor, very excited for the weekend!!! Bring on 5.30pm (it's only 2.15pm)!Glad you had a nice time with your family Janie, sounds like your niece had a great birthday.
Kathryn, hope your headache eases up - hope you have a relaxing evening reading and cuddling up with your Gizmo girl!
Alondra, have a fabulous weekend, hope Brian's team wins!!
its 9.33 am here in India, i am in my office and my manger is on leave :).
It's 6:00 am. Hubby is up early to go to a golf tourney. I had a migraine for two days. "Oh my Gosh"!....., I wanted someone to put me out if my misery. I maybe get one every 3 years or so. Not fun, especially since Moms still have to function. I did spend most of yesterday morning in the dark. I think that helped. I feel like Superman with just a little headache hangover this morning. You don't know how good you can feel until you feel that bad! Missed my reading✔

All on 1 screen, 1 show... this will be fun... :D"I finally got to watch the first episode. Awsome!! Should be great thus year. Maybe we can do a buddy watch?:)
Oh, Susan, migraines are the pits. Glad you're feeling better.9:32 a.m. EDT I have no idea where the time is going lately. It's just flying by. It feels like it was last Sunday just yesterday. And wasn't it just May? Now October is almost half over. This is crazy. Anyway, Bellman & Black is an amazing story that I recommend all of y'all read once it's available. It's really a beautifully written book.

8:52 AM. GOOD MORNING, GR!! GOOD MORNING, CHEATER-PEEKER!! (Inside joke...she knows who I'm talking about..lol) I read a few pages of Doctor Sleep last night, and I'm looking forward to getting back to it. Things are really starting to pick up in it. Not that I wasn't finding it interesting. I WILL NOT MISS MY COFFEE THIS MORNING!! Haha! I learned my lesson yesterday. I am happy it is Friday! I'm going to make my yummy oatmeal and coffee, then spend my time reading. Thank you, Michelle! Miss you! :)
Keeping my fingers crossed for Janie's book arriving today! :)
Good morning! It is roughly 10:23 a.m and I'm getting ready for a busy day of Friday errands to run. Gotta go pay car insurance and electric and mail out some books for PBSwap and stop by the store to get a card for babe's niece who had her baby last night/wee hours of this morning. Prolly gonna hook her up with a Babies-R-Us card too, I have no idea what she needs for him, so gift card will do fine. Still gotta brush my hair and all that, so I should probably jump offline here... in a minute. :)
10:31 a.m. EDT Almost through all the huge volume of e-mail that came in since yesterday evening... o.O

Kathryn thanks for the well wishes for my book to arrive. I am sure that helps a ton! It should be here today. :::still crossing fingers though:::
Kit gratz on the arrival on the baby! How awesome is that! I have a friend whose daughter is due in 8 days. the excitement is mounting!
18:56 I'm just trying to work out how you calculate percentage, since I want to put the percentage of one of the books I've read but don't know how. -_-

Thanx Katy. It was a rough one. I hope you have a good weekend and get some sleep. Have you tried Excedrin PM. Hubby uses it sometimes. I will look at Bellman and Black.

Janie, are you sure a neighbor does not have it? Hehe. Maybe, as it says on the first page. "This is not for you"......
Hope it comes today! :)

Hi Jessica, it depends on which edition of the book you are trying to report your progress. i.e., Hardback, paperback, Audible? When you choose the correct edition you have, it will have the right amount of pages for your edition or if an audible, percentages are decided by hours listened. Hope this helps.
Ye, that's what I usually do but since the book I'm reading is one an author has requested I review it doesn't have the page count or anything because it's a new book. I've just had to work it out in my head at the moment. But thanks for the info!
2:53pm ET. Had a great book-shopping expedition with my daughter, a lovely lunch at an outdoor cafe with Yellow Jackets attacking, and now enjoying my purchases with a little chocolate... :D

You are so rotten.... and I have not done that in over a week or two.. :O

Oh, glad you're enjoying it, Kerstin!5:42 p.m. EDT Well, The Actuator: Fractured Earth really couldn't have been more different from Bellman & Black, but it was good, too. I have just three outstanding reviews for NetGalley now, two are for blog tours, so I'll hold off on those and read the final one now. It'll be nice to be caught up over there!
03:21 BST and I'm just heading to bed
Mod
12:34 AM. Just brushed and flossed my teeth, and now I'm in bed. I'm going to read a bit, even though Mark is already pretty much asleep. Tonight we had a yummy vegetable lasagna, we watched one movie together, then he watched World War Z by himself. I ended up being on GR the whole time just doing what we all do on GR when we lose track of time. Haha! I'm not sure what is in store for tomorrow, but I hope I get some reading in. Hope everyone is well! Gizmo is in her spot snuggled up next to me, so I guess she was ready to go to bed, too. :)

For those who have read Drawing of the Three you may get a chuckle out of this... my husband is reading it with me and he told me he was up to the part about 'The Woman in the Dark' and I said 'do you mean Lady of the Shadows?' hahaha!
