[Holly]

5:34 p.m. I miss all of my wonderful GR friends!! Wish I was able to get on here more.....

[Shell]

So glad your interview went well Kathryn! What job did you apply for? I hope your hard work pays off and you get the position :)

Chuck, so glad the antibiotics worked!

Yum Janie, I love salad too. If you thought The Vanishing was odd you ain't seen nothing yet - just wait until you start HoL LOL!

We miss you too Holly! Hope you are well!

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

7:37PM Did a short workout, enjoying some coffee and now going to hopefully finish The Vanishing. We will see. I am a bit distracted tonight doing other things. LOL

Holly glad to see you post! We miss you being around too. So it is always nice to see you here.

Michelle this is a bad odd, lol not a good one.

Keeping my fingers crossed for you Kathryn. Hope you can sleep tonight.

[Shell]

Oh, in that case, good thing you're nearly finished Janie, then you can move onto something that's a good odd :)

[Alondra]

9:12pm ET. I cannot believe it is after 9 already.. after working til after 6pm; I am not looking forward to tomorrow. with only 1 doctor in each office working, and most of the nurses off, plus a full moon... i really don't wanna go in... *cries*

[Katy]

9:40 p.m. EDT Did order a pizza, but ordered it from Pizza Hut since online ordering wasn't working for Dominoes, and it wasn't as good as a Dominoes would have been. *sigh* Oh, well. So, if you're looking for something really creepy for Halloween reading, check out Dead Reflections. Creeeeeepy!!

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

6:51AM Kay getting ready for school. I am waiting for the coffee to finish and then will make some breakfast. Heading out today to spend some time with Amy. Made some more progress in Still Life With Crows. Trying my best to get into that story. Gonna start on HOL hehe!

[Shell]

Yay! So glad you can finally start HoL woooot!!

[Sam]

1430

Watching the boy make fried breakfast it is very amusing

[Katy]

Janie, Still Life with Crows was one of the more difficult to read Pendergast novels. Have you read all of them up to that point? It's 3 or 4, right? Anyway, it helps if you've read the series in order so you have a better understanding of Pendergast. I enjoyed SLWC, but it's sort of atypical of the series.

9:35 a.m. EDT Ordering a new roll-on bottle of Sore No More so I can use it on my lower back when Dmitry isn't around to put on the stuff from the tub. The stuff works really well for aches and pains, so those who have pain problems should check it out. Charging up my MP3 player so I can listen to some music. My Cowon went completely dead and it won't charge from the outlet, I think I have to charge it with a USB port but I would have to dig for that, so that's annoying.

[Holly]

Thanks Michelle and Janie! :-)

8:40 a.m. First one up in the house today. Enjoying some coffee and going to get back into my book before everyone wakes up. Going shopping today...yay!

[Katy]

9:48 a.m. EDT My computer just started randomly playing ads or something. I couldn't find where it was coming from. Very weird!!

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

8:55AM Well had breakfast and a short work out still enjoying coffee. Gonna read a bit before we go. I have plans for HOL and Seconds Away. Looking forward to both of those.

Katy, no this is the first book I have read. I just wanted to try one out first and could not get the first of the series. I was told that this was the best to read as a standalone, if I was not starting in the beginning. I really do not like Pendergast's perfection. That is my biggest hang up. It makes them unbearably annoying. LOL After reading this book, I will not be investing in any others.

[Katy]

Oh, but Pendergast is a great character. He's not at his best in this book, but he's really interesting. Or I think so. I love the Pendergast novels. Sorry you're not enjoying it! And it is true that this is the best to read as a standalone. The authors tend to write them in trilogies that all go together. I'm a few behind right now.

[Kathryn]

10:22 AM. Ugh...what a night/morning. I didn't sleep well, and ended up with a headache, which I still have. It's my allergies which have flared up. I hope I feel better soon. I hate feeling like this. Anyways, going to read. I'm supposed to hear today if I got the job or not, so we will see. I need breakfast. Lol

[✨Susan✨]

Sorry you have a headache. Argh, I sympathize with you after the migraine I had a couple of weeks ago. Can't wait for you to get the call that you got the job.

[Katy]

2:29 p.m. EDT My new phone came in while I was seeing the NP, so I'm charging it right now. Have added a few contacts and once it's charged I'll take a good look at everything and set up my calendar and such. Wheeee!

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

5:39PM Had a nice time out with family. I ended up with 2 new pairs of jeans. A little snugger but I feel that if I am gonna keep dropping the weight it won't hurt. LOL Now I am home and ready to read. About to do a short work out. We went to Cici for lunch/dinner. And I am really not hungry enough to eat a meal. So I had some cheese and a banana. That is good enough for now. Waiting on coffee to brew. Will enjoy this evening with my book.

Kathryn, sorry you are not feeling well. Hope you get back to your old self soon.

[Katy]

7:27 p.m. EDT Just watched an episode of Sleepy Hollow and two of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.. The latter is awesome, it's so good to see Joss Whedon's stuff back on the air. Anyway, I think my phone is as charged as it is going to be, so logging out and reading.

[Holly]

7:21 p.m. Watching the Bulls game. Have to give the little one a bath soon. It's not that late, but I'm already tired....lol. Have a stuffy nose; hope I'm not getting sick. :-\

[✨Susan✨]

It's funny (ironic) you brought this up. The book I just read/listened to, there is a lot of that, that made me cringe. Not sure how I would go. Bring in my family.....??hope I'm never there.

[Alondra]

9:35. Well, this day has been crazy; but funny. I could tell it was a full moon at work. When the doctor comes in your office and says everyone gets treated by phone, you know the shit has hit the fan..... all before 9am!!!

of course, emergencies go to the ER; but GYN whiners got whatever they wanted today.

Dinner: Frosted brownie and a margarita.... i think that is 1/4 of a good group.

[✨Susan✨]

If I think GYN means baby's. give them what ever the F they want!!!! Treated by phone, "now that's just funny right there"'.. you just crack me the hell up.

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

8:44PM Just finished watching Nanny McPhee and I loved it! That was a very fun movie. So now going to read some HOL. Looking forward to it. Will be here awhile tonight so iffin anyone wants to chat, give me a holler!

[Kathryn]

10:34 PM. Well, I am still sick. My migraine is gone. Thank goodness. However, my stomach has been so messed up since my migraine. I will spare you all of the details. Anyways, so, I didn't hear back from the guy I interviewed with yesterday, until after 6 PM. He said he hoped I was still available by Monday and will give me a call first thing Monday morning. Apparently , they had an emergency which took all day. So, I will have to wait a few more days. My dad, Mark, and I went out for dinner, and it was delicious. I had been feeling pretty good before dinner, and then on our way home my dad wanted an ice cream cone. I'm going to look for something to help my stomach, but if I can't find anything, I will run to the grocery store down the street. I really want to read since I felt so bad today, I didn't even feel like it. I hope everyone is having a great night/day. :)

[✨Susan✨]

So glad you are feeling better. Take care:)

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

11:58PM Watched a little telly, now I might read a few more pages of HOL before bed. But I am pretty tired. LOL

Kathryn sorry you were not feeling very good. Hope tomorrow you are better!

[Chris]

12:08AM still up. Had a great evening out with my wife. We went to the Fest-of-Ale at the Botanical Gardens and still had time to get home to watch the Cardinals win the National league championship. World Series here we come.

Ok, I've been away from GR a bit and it is because I've been keeping some news to myself until it was certain. I was going to say something yesterday but didn't want to take away from Kathryn's interview. Since she didn't here about her interview I don't feel like I'm stepping on her news. Yesterday I got a call from a job I interviewed for. I have passed all my background checks and have officially been welcomed to my new job. Finally I can leave the hell hole I've worked at for 6 years and move on to bigger and better things. I will possibly need to stay on with my current job part time to keep benefits till January, but I will be done then. I'm really excited and figured I'd share with you all now that it's official. Have a good weekend everyone.

[Samantha]

It's 1:35am, and I'm wide awake since I had a seizure this morning so I slept all day. However I got to finish the awful book I was reading. It stinks I'm wide awake though since later today I'm doing my Christmas shopping... Can't win sometimes lol.

[Kathryn]

Chris, yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so happy to hear about your news!! I really hope you will like your new job, and hopefully it brings you and your family some happiness. I want you to understand something....Please don't ever feel like sharing great news would diminish my interview. You are such a nice guy, and I understand your wanting to be polite to me, but you have really great news and it is nice to hear about people in this thread being happy!! :)

[Victor]

Congratulations Chris!!

Hope you get good news on Monday Kathryn:)

2:00 AM :/ Going to read some before finally going to bed. I'm actually really tired so maybe I'll just go to bed LOL

[Katy]

Alondra, that sounds like a good dinner to me... :-)

[Katy]

Congrats, Chris, and Kathryn, I hope you have good news on Monday!

6:50 a.m. EDT Slept a few hours, then we went to Waffle House for some food. Now I'm clearing out e-mail and then I think I'll go back to sleep for awhile.

[Alondra]

Katy wrote: "Alondra, that sounds like a good dinner to me... :-)"

pretty darned good... i almost felt guilty, almost.

[Alondra]

10:42am ET. It is rainy and miserable today. Perfect day for reading, relaxing, reading, doing nothing, reading, play with the cat, reading and snacking....

[Kit★]

Woot! Congrats Chris! :D

Here it's an unexciting day. 10:58 a.m and just catching up here, then going to get kiddo some breakfast and get myself a shower. After that, a trip to the gas station for some gas and my caffeine fix, then back home to hopefully get some reading done, perhaps even some more packing and straightening up if I get ambitious.

[✨Susan✨]

Congratulations Chris, I hope your transition goes smoothly.

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

10:15AM Quiet morning, just Kay and I. So I am gonna start reading here in a bit. Tonight we are going to fall festival, and I will try and share some pictures. We go every year, but kinda sad that we won't have Ave's this year. Not sure if Amy will be taking him or not. Enjoying some coffee! And now for a good book....

YAY Chris! Wow that is great news for you and you so deserve it! You are so very considerate! And that is appreciated! So glad you are a part of this group!

Kathryn are you feeling better today!? I hope so! Keep yourself well. Maybe we should plan another get together lol! heh.

[[deleted user]]

Congratulations Chris!!! What fantastic news! Here's hoping for a smooth transition!

12:21pm EDT. A gray and rainy day--my favorite kind of fall day! Just hanging out with hub drinking coffee and catching up on GR. Planning a library haul later. Feeling pretty good, hope you all have a great weekend!

[Katy]

Glad to hear you're having a good day, Terri. Kathryn, I also hope you're feeling better.

1:10 p.m. EDT Managed a bit of sleep. Not much going on today. Hubby has to go to work an hour earlier than normal today.

[Sarah]

Had a busy day, took my 8 year old to the cinema with two of his school friends then to KFC. Now I am knackered! Planning a curry and a film on the sofa tonight ...

[Katy]

2:24 p.m. EDT Working to wake the hubby, then I think I'll finish catching up on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

4:26PM Having a wonderful day! I have not read much but Kay and I took a walk today, was one of those days I felt like getting out and breathing in the fresh cool air. It was almost 4 miles. So it was some nice relaxing time for Kay and I. Randy got home early, and Derek works all day today. We had toasted chicken salad sandwiches, and peas for dinner. Threw in a banana for dessert! Heh! Will be going to Fall Fest soon and will share pictures on my FB. I did read a few more pages in HOL. It quite the unique book.

Terry glad to hear you are having a good day. I'm jelly because you are going to the library! Have fun and get lots of good books!

[Katy]

11:34 p.m. EDT Had a fairly decent nap. Hubby made it home a bit early tonight, is out watching Agents of SHIELD himself now and laughing at it. :-) Once I clear out e-mail I'll likely be reading.

[✨Susan✨]

11:59 pm. Awoke this morning at 43 degrees. Burrr. Love the smells and light, "Fall is here Ya'll.(Janie)" Good blessings to all for our new Season.

[Chris]

Thanks to every one who has wished me well. I'm really excited to get out of my current job and into a big boy job. Corporate America here I come. Kathryn I hope you get good news Monday as well. I wanted to make sure you got to share your news and enjoy it without trampling it. Janie, I'm really happy to be apart of this group too.

12:53AM and it is way past my bed time. I got a great 2 hour nap this afternoon because both of the kids napped at the same time. It was amazing and I forgot how much I missed naps. Sadly that means I'm wide awake now. Just checking in. Goodnight GR.

[Katy]

5:45 a.m. EDT Took a bit of a nap, up for a bit. We're probably going to go have lunch today, so I'll probably nap a bit more in awhile. A nappin' fool... heh.

[Ella]

7:45AM fully rested after 9 hours of sleep! Had to set my alarm for 11pm last night for my daughters curfew..ha... She was just 5 minutes late. Getting ready to make some breakfast, more coffee and then get a sauce going for a simmer all day (i dont call it gravy) Great weather to get a fire going outside too!

[Alondra]

9:38 a.m. ET. Finished reading a dumb book; not wanting to finish Doctor Sleep, which is 10 times better; nothing like good storytelling; and about to start 2 others to finish off October.

Drinking coffee and wanting more.... mmmm
