What time is it and what are you doing?
8:55 PM. Good evening, everyone! I just realized I haven't posted in this thread today. OOPS! haha! I got a little reading done throughout the day, exercised, cleaned a few things around the house, and before I knew it, the day is almost gone. I made breakfast for dinner, and it was yummy. Mark is watching Dexter, and I am actually thinking of staying up kind of late to read tonight. I'd like to finish Firestarter tomorrow, and maybe even start The Book Thief. We have some of my ice cream cake left, so I will have a piece, and maybe even some coffee. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SHELL!!!!
Mod
Oh yes HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHELL!
Janie, January has been a great reading month for you!
9:29pm Should be doing some writing but instead, snooping up on facebook and goodreads, while the thought of reading
plagues my mind. I'm wanting to finish it before the weekend is out but now I hear of this group read, I'm tempted just to dive in to
and wait it out a bit.

1:28 a.m. EST Happy birthday (late) Shell. Darcy, I have a weight-loss program for you, just develop chronic colitis for 6 months. I've lost 30 lbs because I can't eat solid food. Of course, it's miserable and painful, but... bright side. Still trying to deal with the death of my friend. Spent most of the day taking huge doses of my Donnatal and muscle relaxers so I could sleep. Once I clear out my e-mail I'll watch Buffy.

I am now reading Dust to Dust..."Terri and I had tried to buddy read DIVERGENT. We both ended up abandoning it as I recall.
Mod
1pmBeen on here and other websites since about 11, but heading off in a few moments to read Magician
7:22 AM. Laying here in bed while Mark gets ready for work. I completely forgot I'm supposed to see my sister today who is in town from Florida to open two make-up locations here in DFW. But, that is later this afternoon. I have not had the best sleep tonight. Gizmo has been super bed-hoggy and I had a nightmare for the first time since I don't know when. Two teenage kids tried to break into the house I grew up in to steal. Not too sure where that came from. LolAnyways, I've been trying to go back to sleep, but I think I will get up, make coffee, eat cereal, and read. Yay! It's Friday!!
Woohoo! Kathryn is in the Friday spirit!!! TGIF!!!I didn't have a good sleep either:/
Mod
Kathryn sorry you did not sleep well! Enjoy your visit with your sister today! And I agree with you both, TGIF!! Heh I love Fridays!

this morning it was a gift from the author. It's really good so far. Sooo glad it is FRIDAY. My son gets his cast off today and boy is he ready. Have a great day BB. HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY! Shell, hope you had a nice one.

11:07am EST. Kicking back with a cup of coffee, watching the lovely snow. We have about 3 inches already. Stayed up till 4am reading Andrew's Brain so I just got up about an hour ago. (Charlie had had enough of my sleeping in!) Not much to do today other than read the 4 books I just started. This is a great day for me--snow, my great-grandmother's quilt, my puppy Charlie, yummy coffee and some good books! Happy Friday everyone!
Chris, your schedule sounds exhausting! I really respect what you're doing for the good of your family.

5:33 p.m. EST Been up for a long time now. Think it's time for a nap.

1.53amGot hooked on my reading and forgot to go to bed again. Oops.
Guess I should go now lol.
Its nearly 2am here, and I can't wait to see the Book Thief. Ever since I found out it was being mm are into a film, I don't think its out in the UK yet!!
7:58pm Just loving the night chillaxing. Came from Sprint and got a brand new battery for my phone and it works like new! Overall, just feeling real good :)
8:47 PM. Just relaxing on the couch with a sweet little baby Gizmo girl curled up right next to me. It was great seeing my sister today. Mark is watching Dexter, and I'm about to get reading. I am thinking of making a pot of coffee and staying up late tonight to read.
10:12pm Reading, reading and more reading. It is supposed to be nice this weekend, so I may actually get in the yard... or not.. ;)

But oh well they can'..."I would like to see the movie but I don't want to see it for a while. Maybe DVD later. I want the book to have time to last in my memory. So glad you enjoyed it Janie. Hope you guys had a great day.
Mod
Its 6.30am here in the UK and its raining out again. I'm sat in bed with my cat snuggled under a fleeze cover and I've got vampire diaries on DVD on the TV.I've got a new Italian cookbook being delivered today and I'm looking forward to making something tastey for when my family come round for dinner:)
8:48 AM. Good morning, GR! I'm so glad I didn't do what I planned last night: make a pot of coffee so I could stay up and read for a while into the night. Sometimes the morning's bright sunshine makes me extra happy, so I'm glad I got to see it. Mark and Gizmo are still in bed, so I think I will make coffee now and read. We don't have any plans really, but, that could always change. So for now, I am going to read. Happy Saturday!! Janie, yay it's furniture day!!! :)
It's 10:33am. Last night was rough. My 1 year old didn't go to bed till 1:30am! She has a nasty cold. My 3 year old woke up early. Pretty soon we have to leave to take my 15 year old to work.
Mod
Janie, do you have a YouTube channel?
Darcy, sounds like you have your hands full!
Janie, how does the new furniture look?
2:15pm EST. Having a lovely, relaxing Saturday spending time with my husb and my dog Charlie. Just got done with a rousing game of tire, and now Charlie is sacked out. (It's his favorite game.) Larry is playing guitar and I'm enjoying my time on the computer. We're drinking cinnamon hazelnut coffee--we're on our 2nd pot. Getting ready to spend the rest of the afternoon reading. What a blissful day! Hope everyone else is having a great day as well.

Terri it sounds like you are having the best day. Im jelous, but very happy you get to have a relaxing day. 1:20PM Working today and anxiously waiting on my lunch break. I'm starving and a PBJ sounds amazing right now.
Hey, Chris! Hope your time at work goes by quickly. I think of you often and how hard you are working for your family. Hang in there (as I know you will) and hopefully you won't be on this insane schedule for too much longer! :)
I hope so too Terri. I at least have tomorrow off so I should be able to relax a little bit. It is great to see you post. I have missed talking with you.
2:48 p.m. EST Another marathon sleeping session. Have a feeling the not eating is catching up with me. Will watch some Buffy and Angel once I'm caught up with e-mail.
Mod
Darcy yes I do have a vlog on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVFUY...
Terri the furniture looks great and it is very comfortable! I was glad about that because we did not get to try it out, they had to order it for us.
Wowza, what a week you had today. I'm so excited that you like your new furniture.Kathryn, sometimes that quiet time in the morning can be the best time of my day.
Darcey, I don't remember sleeping at all before my youngest was 4. Hang in there. ;)

Terry, glad you had such a relaxing day, My hubby plays the guitar all the time. I got him a new, cool, low profile, stand for Christmas, now his guitar doesn't stand or lay in the oddest places. :/ not going into that lol.
12:25 AM. Just finished uploading two Youtube videos on my channel. Mark and I kind of took a lazy day today. At about 3, I did the dishes, got a shower, and went to Barnes and Noble, then went to Half Price Books. I ended up ordering some books with a birthday gift card for B&N, and bought two books at Half-Price. On my way home, my dad called and wanted to take us to dinner because he is leaving tomorrow for another week on an oil rig. We came home, and I caught up on GR. I made two videos, and I'm hoping I can stay up a while and read tonight. I think another cup of coffee is in order. I'm already getting sleepy....Susan, I actually like it when Mark sleeps in and I can get that time by myself. It sounds so bad, but that was one of the best parts about being single. hahaha!
1:44am. My 1 year old finally fell asleep. I want to sleep, but the need to keep reading Divergent is greater.
5:57 a.m. EST Am now in Season 6 of Buffy and 3 of Angel. End of Season 5 always sends me into gales of tears, and so will this season. So very sad... Anyway, been up since noonish yesterday, so about to go to bed once the meds kick in.
Mod
Susan the furniture is great and the 1 1/2 recliner is great for a reading chair so comfy! I sat there last night and finished my book, Dust to Dust.
9:30 AM. Enjoying some coffee after I ate cereal for breakfast. I need to get laundry going, and today I'm just going to read. I really want to watch football, but, usually when I watch, the teams I want to win, lose.
11:32am chilling out and hoping the hubby makes me eggs... :O
11:46 a.m. EST Woke up at 8:30 and despite trying, was unable to go back to sleep. Buffy/Angel it is...

Kathryn glad your birthday was everything you wanted. I think that is awesome. I love Outback myself. I love the bloomin onion. LOL
Chris no I did not hand make the egg rolls, I too would love to try it someday. But these egg rolls were phenomenal. I love Chinese so egg rolls are a favorite. I love crab rangoon too YUM!
Darcy, as Kathryn mentioned we are having a buddy read on Divergent on the 20th of this month. We are all itching to get to that one I think. It is supposed to be so good, would love for you to join us on that read if you want.
