[Alondra]

Great to hear from you Chris! It sounds like a very busy and exciting time in your life! We all miss you but completely understand that you have a lot going on. Wishing you the very best, I'm sure you will do great!

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

7:25PM Of course I have not had a chance to read much today. :/ My freezer came and I love it. It is really very nice! I have been reading for a little bit since Aeverie has been entertained. Books are coming along ok!

[Sean]

01.28
Shivering because Winter has finally arrived.

[Kathryn]

Sean, I would agree. Finally had to breakout the heavy coat.

[Kathryn]

7:50 PM. Cooking breakfast for dinner.

[Shell]

12.21 pm Been at work since before 9am and have achieved zilch! Got to work and the plumbers and builders had arrived to start demolishing our old kitchen as we're having a new bathroom etc built so I had to help my boss move everything out of there... everyone else was curiously absent this morning... hmmm...So then they had to turn the power off so I went and did some running around; when I got back the power was back on but it took me almost an hour to get the server back up and running. Just sat down to finally get some work done then in walks a whole group of people to see my boss and of course I had to make all the coffees because there was no one else here! ***sigh*** Think I might go on my lunch break now lol.

[✨Susan✨]

Hey! Coffee girl hang in there. Lololol. You can ask.."Would any of you like a server"? I'm an ret. computer gal. Your so great. Bet they are not expecting (the pretty reseptionist to be the computer girl??? Hehe... Lunch anyone?

[Shell]

Hahaha I guess working in a fairly small company when the IT person, sales person, receptionist and maintenance person are all absent you just have to get used to filling other peoples shoes :)

[Katy]

9:23 p.m. EST Just clearing out e-mail and watching some YouTube silliness.

[✨Susan✨]

Yup. Lolol. You are great. They are so lucky to have you. Wish we could have coffee.

[✨Susan✨]

Janie: now when we pass B&N I tell the boys off and on that I'm going to get a job there. Silence... I Just look quickly to get a reaction and then look away. So funny. Like gorillas in the mist. Hehe

[Shell]

Thanks Susan... who knows, maybe one day :)

[Kathryn]

10:55 PM. Laying in bed with both cats snuggled up to me because it has gotten chilly and they want to keep warm. Mark is already asleep, so I'm going to lay in bed and read. Dinner was yummy, and I even made brownies. Hoping to get several pages read tonight. :)

[Kathryn]

11:07 AM. Enjoying some coffee this morning and have already eaten some oatmeal. Mark told me last night he has a work thing tonight, so he will be home later than usual. I need to fold a full basket of clean socks, put up the clean dishes, and load the dirty ones, and of course, read. :) I hope everyone has a great day today!

Happy birthday, Victor!

[Katy]

1:54 p.m. EST All I want to do right now is sleep. Ugh. About time to wake up D and send him to work.

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

1:43PM Have not gotten here till now. :/ GR has been so slow for me today, I guess maybe an overload of people. Everything else loads fast for me so it is not my internet. I have read almost 50 pages today so far. I guess not too bad. Would love to finish one of these books by the 15th, maybe tomorrow. But I find that to be doubtful.

[Kathryn]

Janie, I thought it was just me and my internet. GR must be having some issues.

[Katy]

4:35 p.m. EST Hubby off to work. I've been reading but think I'll try to nap a bit.

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

yea they were it is better or me now though. It was taking at least 5 min to load a page. :/

[Katy]

5:06 p.m. EST Oops, trapped myself at YouTube watching cat videos. Logging off, going to try to rest.

[Victor]

Thanks Kathryn:)

[GeneralTHC]

5:31 PM... Finally back on the Internet after a week without it. I've been averaging about $50 a month in overages alone--which is ridiculous! Anyways, think I'll try to fix up my GR account a bit; maybe remove the 17 books from my CR I just can't seem to finish, haha!--No--I can't admit defeat! I found a couple of pretty good non-fiction authors that I have really been getting into: Erik Larson and David Roberts. These guys write in such a cool way. I'm totally into what these guys do. They write in such a way as to where you can experience events and things that happened long ago or far away. I just don't know how else to say it. You know in theory how reading books can allow you to experience the inside of people's minds that may have lived long ago or whatever, well these guys totally have it downl in practice. It's just so cool. Anyways, hope everyone is doing great!

[Michelle]

7:07pm Just had dinner, now watching Benny Hill and thinking about reading some more.

Katy, have you seen the treadmill kittens video? :)

[Katy]

Chuck, another great non-fiction writer is Robert K. Massey. I love his book Peter the Great, which includes not only the biography of Tsar Peter, but also details on all the others in power at the same time.

Michelle... d'awww

7:53 p.m. EST Sleep will not come. Mrmph.

[Alondra]

8;15pm ET. Had Q'Dobas for dinner, watching a little of The First 48, on A&E; and then to read a big chunk of The Twelve.

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

8:09PM Was able to take Aeverie to the playground, it was not too cold out. Came home and had a work out, now on GR checking in. Aeverie is settling in so I will have the rest of the evening to read, as long as I get off of here. lol

Sounds cool, Katy--I'll have to check him out. Thanks!

[Kathryn]

11:10 PM. We are enjoying a nice fire in our fireplace, and Gizmo has been curled up on my lap most of the evening. Earlier, I folded probably 60-70 pairs of socks. It was a chore I have to be in the mood to do. Lol. Anyways, I got a great workout, then got a shower. Mark had a work thing after actual work, so he said he would be late. I had just sat down to read, read a few pages, and my handsome guy walked in the door with two bouquets of flowers, dinner, ice cream, and saying, "Happy 44 month anniversary!" He is too sweet. :) Mark has been watching tv, which I've kind of been watching as well, and I think I will go get ready for bed and read for a while.

[Bunnhi]

10:20 PM here. Just finished my homework for the evening, learning about gender role stereotypes this week in psychology. Browsing Goodreads for a bit (was lucky to come across this group!) and now I'm about to clean up my mess, jump in the shower, and then dive into my book for the rest of the evening. :D

[Shell]

Awwww Kathryn, Mark sounds so lovely. I'm so happy for you that you are married to such a lovely man :) Your evening in front of the fire sounds divine!

Nhi, so great to have you here. It really is such a wonderful group of people :)

3.55 PM I'm feeling a bit sooky today. I've had a splitting headache since I got out of bed this morning and it doesn't help that my office is the closest to the renovations going on at work at the moment. The banging and crashing is driving me crazy... and they'll be here for two weeks :/ Oh well, another 1.5hrs and I can head home. I think some Thai takeaway is on the menu for dinner tonight!

[Kathryn]

Thank you, Michelle! I feel blessed to have married such a great man. :)

I hope you feel better! I've had a slight headache since I woke up, so I kind of know how you feel. Maybe try some hot tea, a nice hot bath or shower, and relaxing? Sometimes that helps me. ((((((Hugs)))))

[Bunnhi]

Thank you Michelle, I can already sense the good vibes coming from this group. :) Thai sounds delicious! Hang in there, I agree with Kathryn, try & relax with a cup of tea when you're relieved from work!

[Shell]

Thanks girls, yep looking forward to relaxing - I reckon that will do the trick! :)

[Katy]

Michelle, I recently learned that dehydration can sometimes cause headaches, so maybe have some electrolytes or something. Hope you're feeling better!

7:57 a.m. EST I really, really wish I could sleep... Heh. I think I might have dozed for a few minutes here and there, but not deeply. Hubby has a double today, so I'll have to wake him up in an hour. Trying to decide what to read next...

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

7:31AM I did not have a chance to get back on this thread last night. Aeverie keeps me busy. I thought he was gonna be out early last night, um....no I was sorely wrong LOL. So he already woke up this AM as well. So no going back to sleep for another hour like I enjoy doing. So I have breakfast going for the 2 of us. Kay is off to school Randy at work and Derek will be leaving shortly. I wanna get some more reading done this AM. We will see where that goes.

Kathryn happy 44th to you and Mark. He is definitely a keeper and I can see so much love with you guys! It is awesome.

Nhi, nice to have you here among us. We love to see new people join and hang out with us here. So welcome to the group!

Michelle I hope that you re feeling better, even though I am late on that. LOL. I can imagine it would be annoying being next to the renovations.

[Kathryn]

9:12 AM. Drinking some coffee with French vanilla creamer to warm up my bones, as they say. I'm going to focus on reading today since the only chore I have to do is put up the dishes and reload the dishwasher, which only takes about 10 minutes. LOL. I also need to workout, but that won't be until this afternoon. I'm thinking of trying to do a Youtube book blog, like Janie, so I might also work on that, as well. I'm really interested to see where my book is going, and I would love to knock out a hundred pages or more today. We'll see how that goes....Somehow I always get distracted by something. Anyways, I hope everyone has a great day! It's Thursday and almost the weekend! I can't wait to get my hair cut on Saturday!

Thank you, Janie! I'm glad people can see that about us, because it's true! :)

Michelle, I hope you're feeling better today!! :)

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

10:09AM Well I could not trick the kid into a nap LOL It worked once before but well not today! So instead I did a book vlog and it is uploading now and I am reading more of The Twelve. It is getting down to the nitty gritty! Enjoying the book although not as much as I did The Passage. So today taking Aeverie home and then tomorrow taking out Kay and her friend Jamie. So busy busy again.

Kathryn I hope you get you vlog channel going. If you need any help let me know and I will help you on whatever you need.

Sorry about your headache. Are they using any glues or solvents in the renovation? Hope you are feeling better soon.

Aww, what a Sweety!

[✨Susan✨]

11:54. Getting all of my chores done today which includes putting everyones heavier winter bedding on. Its getting chilly. Busy day tomorrow entertaining hubby's out of state new hire. Then the weekend! YAY. I'm looking forward to getting some tbr done.

[Katy]

8:12 p.m. EST Finally managed a few hours of sleep. Annoyingly, despite feeling better yesterday, I'm starting to feel worse again. Grrr.

[Alondra]

9:38pm ET. Wondering why people don't have a work ethic... *I feel a rant coming on..*

Anywho, (disregards feelings) ready to read more of The Twelve and start my 4th or 5th Hercule Poirot of the year. I am excited about what 2014 has to offer with my personal reading and new books.

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

I know how you feel Alondra I am biting at the bit to get to some of these books!

8:50PM just got home about an hour ago and Kay has some kind of Teenage attitude going on tonight good grief! She needs to put it back into its proper place is all I'm gonna say. So I plan to read tonight as soon as I can figure out which one to go with.

[Kathryn]

8:53 PM. Watching Project Runway. Afterwards, I'm hoping Mark goes to bed early because he is running a little bit of fever. His sinuses are bothering him a bit. After PR is over, I'm going to make some coffee and read The Sleeping Doll.

[✨Susan✨]

I can feel your teenager endured pain. Good luck.
