Veronica (veraj121) | 328 comments 12:25 - Finally relaxing after a long and crazy week/weekend. Maybe I can finally catch up on some reading.


message 9152: by GeneralTHC (new)

GeneralTHC 1:11 PM Getting ready for the AFC/NFC Championship Games--probably won't get much reading done today.


message 9153: by ✨Susan✨ (new)

✨Susan✨ (suswelch) | 904 comments Started a new book this morning and then got up and made everybody corned beef omellets. Getting some laundry done and going to make some good football snacks for dinner.

Janie I am so happy you like your furniture and glad you got a wonderful, snuggle reading place. Has everyone picked out there spot or are you all just wherever?

Kathryn (kcanty313) | 1870 comments I love corned beef, Susan! I should have come over for breakfast! Jk...I couldn't impose!

1:49 PM. I have been reading today, but for some reason, my stomach has been a little upset today. I ate some noodle soup, and am feeling better. Like Susan, I'm going to get some laundry going, and then I'm going to get back to reading. I would watch the football games since I'm a football junkie, but I have a tendency to jinx my teams. :/ But, I also want to finish my book today. I think I can do it. LOL

2:36PM Really have been enjoying Mockingjay and will finish it more than likely tonight or in the wee hours! I will be ready for Divergent to start tomorrow. having spaghetti for dinner and will start that in just a little while.

Susan I don't think we will have specific sitting, we don't sit in the living room often enough LOL But the recliner is quite comfy and since 2 people can sit in it we have many choices on where we wanna sit. LOL

Angie | 76 comments Its 12.30am here and I've just finished Darkness feel us, so I'm just catching up here and trying to get my cat to sit somewhere that isn't my feet!! I'm tired tonight so I think I'll be going to sleep soon. I'll put vampire diaries on and watch Damon,lol

message 9158: by Corey (new)

Corey | 1411 comments It's about 9:00 and I'm laying in bed reading the last few chapters of Misery. Almost done with it.


message 9159: by ✨Susan✨ (new)

✨Susan✨ (suswelch) | 904 comments Still on pins and needles about the game right now. Eek can't watch but I gotta.

Kathryn, I would love to have you and hubby for breakfast anytime.
Hey, that's a thought, we should all have breakfast. Fun!

That's so great that you have many choices. I love two person recliners. It's fun to be able to sit with two.


message 9160: by ✨Susan✨ (new)

✨Susan✨ (suswelch) | 904 comments Janie, I just thought of it....we have a buddy chair and its a good thing cause my dog thinks she's a St. Bernard and needs all the room. All 6 pounds of her. Lol


message 9161: by Kathryn (new)

Kathryn (kcanty313) | 1870 comments 9:20 PM. This is going to be one of the best Super Bowls in YEARS for me!! Two of my favorite teams in the final game!!! Mark is from Oregon, and the Seahawks are pretty much the only team Oregonians root for, so this is extra exciting! Okay. I'll stop. LOL. I've been doing some laundry, and I'm about to start Divergent. I'm feeling a bit better than I was, probably because Mark bought me some diet 7UP. I'm trying to find the Legend Trilogy by Marie Lu for a cheap price, buuuut...I guess I will have to wait a while longer. I think the final book still being relatively new (came out in November, if I remember correctly) is what is causing the trilogy to still be quite pricey. Anyways, I hope you all have a wonderful evening and a great week! :)

Susan, breakfast then book shopping. hahaha!

Katy (katyas-69) | 1731 comments 11:56 p.m. EST Watched one episode of Angel and went back to bed. Will watch some Angel and Buffy tonight then back to editing tomorrow.

message 9165: by Kathryn (new)

Kathryn (kcanty313) | 1870 comments 12:35 AM. Just read the first two chapters of Divergent, so now I'm wishing I wasn't sleepy! I just want to keep reading!


message 9166: by Joe (new)

Joe It's 11:19pm and I'm laughing at how many caffeine drinkers are in this thread. I need a new vice if I'm going to stay in this group.

It's 11:21pm and I'm bemused by another blind date that fizzled. I hope The Passage doesn't let me me down.

Lunchtime :)
Got some pizza fingers in the oven, and gonna curl up on the sofa with those and a good book :)


message 9168: by Kathryn (new)

Kathryn (kcanty313) | 1870 comments 8:15 AM. Good morning, GR. Still kind of sleepy this morning, but can't go back to sleep. There is too much on my mind: Mark's work stress and my second dad Thom, whom I mentioned a few weeks ago, is having open-heart surgery this morning. I have a few errands to run today, a YouTube video to do, a workout, and all I want to do is just stay at home and read. Oh well. That's how life is sometimes. :) Going to try to get motivated, get my stuff done, then read. Happy Monday, everyone!


message 9169: by ✨Susan✨ (new)

✨Susan✨ (suswelch) | 904 comments Kathryn, sending good wishes to you that Thom comes through with flying colors. Breakfast and Books...BB's go for BB. Hehe. Hope you feel better today.

The Passage is brilliant, I loved it so much and I'm reading it for the third time in a buddy read. Its nearly 3pm here and I've just finished sorting out the polls and getting the messages to my groups members totaly wrong! I sent out 3 to most people I think,lol . I'm going to watch the Book Thief this afternoon and I hope its as good in the book:-)

10:11AM Feels like I have done a whole lot of nothing this AM so far. I was writing am email to my best friend for over and hour! What is that about? LOL and now I am finally here trying to get to everything. I will be starting Divergent but it will be later in the day. I must finish Divergent. I would have had it done but Since spent the entire evening with me, I did not read much, but that is ok, I love visiting with Amy! Also trying to get laundry done as well. I did manage some breakfast. Aves is here but still sleeping. I am sure he will be up soon.

Kathryn I hope all goes well with Thom, he is in my prayers.


message 9172: by Shell (new)

Shell (shellcampbell) | 757 comments Just realised I wasn't getting notifications for this thread - I hate it when that happens! Thanks for all the birthday well wishes, I had a great day. Hope everyone is doing well.

11.18 AM I am really struggling today. Not sure what is wrong with me but I just have no energy or motivation for work since coming back after the Christmas break. I hope I can snap out of it soon. On a brighter note, I am babysitting Charlie for the first time tonight. I can't wait to have him all to myself!


message 9173: by Alondra (new)

Alondra Miller 7:52pm Feeling whooped, but relived after a long day of putting out "fires" at work today. Ready to finish up Fool Moon and continue with other reading.


message 9174: by Shell (new)

Shell (shellcampbell) | 757 comments Kathryn, I meant to say that I hope all goes well with Thom, you'll have to keep us updated with his progress. Will be thinking of him {{{HUGS}}}

7:54PM had Baked fish and broccoli for dinner, then took Aves to the Ponder park. He enjoyed himself. Did my work out and now enjoying some coffee and I am gonna start Divergent. I think I am gonna curl up in my big comfy chair!


message 9178: by Katy (new)

Katy (katyas-69) | 1731 comments Hope all goes well with Thom, Kathryn.

I know exactly how you feel, Shell. I've been feeling the same way.

Rachel 907pm had a late dinner and just checking into gr while listening to the weatherman say we're getting another snowstorm-is winter over yet?

Kathryn- Wishing Thom a full & speedy recovery

Katy & Shell- Hope you both feel better soon

message 9181: by Joseph (new)

Joseph Ballenger 8:14pm On the inside, mourning over the death of my Galaxy S3 phone. May it R.I.P. *sniff* But on a more serious note, I'm just checking 3 different websites (Goodreads included) while listening to some music.


message 9182: by Shell (new)

Shell (shellcampbell) | 757 comments Thanks Katy and Rachel - I know feeling sorry for myself isn't at all helpful so I'm trying to be chirpy but it's taking a lot of effort today lol!

Aww that sucks Joseph :( At least now you have a good excuse to get a nice new one!


message 9183: by Katy (new)

Katy (katyas-69) | 1731 comments Shell, sometimes you just need to wallow. Watch something mindless and fun.

9:36 p.m. EST Off to watch Angel and Buffy.


message 9184: by Shell (new)

Shell (shellcampbell) | 757 comments haha Katy, that would be nice if I didn't have to work! Enjoy your shows, wish I could chill with you :)


message 9185: by ✨Susan✨ (new)

✨Susan✨ (suswelch) | 904 comments Shell, maybe the winter blues. Hope you have some warm days coming up and that you feel better. Have you thought that you might be tired for two:) That's how I felt. Hope you feel better soon! Hugs


message 9186: by Shell (new)

Shell (shellcampbell) | 757 comments Definitely not the winter blues Susan, it's been stinking hot here hahaha!!!

No pretty sure not tired for two... at least I bloody hope not!! LOL!!!! JK I wouldn't mind too much, just not quiiiiite ready for that just yet though ;)


message 9187: by Joseph (new)

Joseph Ballenger As cold as it's been here in Chicago, I wish it was scorching hot lol! As of right now, at 10:24pm, it's snowing something fierce outside. Makes me grateful for shelter.


message 9188: by ✨Susan✨ (new)

✨Susan✨ (suswelch) | 904 comments Lol. Are we ever ready? I always forget you are down under and not in Europe. Take care of yourself honey. You are always going fast and furious. Hope your BD was fun. So glad your party was such a great time and there was even cake. Hehe


message 9189: by ✨Susan✨ (new)

✨Susan✨ (suswelch) | 904 comments Joseph, you guys have had your fair share this winter. Stay warm:)


message 9190: by Shell (new)

Shell (shellcampbell) | 757 comments So strange to think of you in the snow while we are in the sweltering heat Joseph! If you haven't seen my blog it thread, you should check out the poor thirsty native animals people have been getting in their backyards! Thankfully it's cooled down a bit in the last couple of days... not sure how long for though! At lease the firefighters have got most of the bushfires under control - that is always scary for people :/

You're so right Susan - I keep saying 'next year, next year' and I just never bite the bullet lol!! Thanks for your nice thoughts, my BD was lovely this year :)


message 9191: by Kathryn (last edited Jan 20, 2014 08:55PM) (new)

Kathryn (kcanty313) | 1870 comments 10:49 PM. What a busy afternoon! Got a few loads of laundry washed, dryed, and folded. I went to run my errands, and a couple of them I couldn't do because I forgot it is MLK day. I went to the grocery store and bought a few things for this week. When I got home, I put up the groceries, made a YouTube video, and talked with Mark for a bit when he got home. I put some chicken in a fajita marinade, then worked out. After my workout, I made chicken fajitas. They were super yummy. I got dinner cleaned up, watched an episode or two of Dexter with Mark. I'm really eager to get back into Divergent, so I am going to get reading. :)

By the way, thank you all for keeping Thom in your thoughts and prayers. He is doing well from what I heard last. So, good news! They gave him a mechanical heart and everything in the surgery went well.

7:51AM Getting ready for a reading marathon today lol. Had my breakfast and Aves is still sleeping so that is nice, I will be able to read for a little bit. Enjoying some coffee right now.


message 9195: by ✨Susan✨ (new)

✨Susan✨ (suswelch) | 904 comments Good morning BB's. All is getting back to normal after the three day weekend. Really like Touch & Go its exciting and has great characters. Hope all have a good day and goodreads.

Awesome Susan I am wanting to read that one. I don't actually have it yet, but I have been looking for it. So hopefully soon I can get it. It does rather high ratings too.


message 9197: by ✨Susan✨ (new)

✨Susan✨ (suswelch) | 904 comments This is my second Lisa Gardner. I also really liked, Catch Me.


message 9198: by Kathryn (new)

Kathryn (kcanty313) | 1870 comments 9:33 AM. Good morning, GR! I have been up for a while checking out notifications, email, and the like. I've already had cereal for breakfast, and I'm debating on either some orange juice or coffee. Today I am going to focus on Divergent. But first, I need to feed the little kitty. She is actually letting me scratch her head, but other than that, she still is a bit skittish. I think she's made great progress so far. Oh yeah..I forgot I need to go to the bank today since they were closed yesterday for MLK day. I can do that later, though. The last I heard, Thom is doing well, but I haven't heard anything this morning.


message 9199: by Victor (new)

Victor 9:38 AM Apparently I have food poisoning from KFC white meat chicken. My Uncle had to go get my cousin Niko from school and my other cousin Tianna and their Mom all have food poisoning, too.

9:56AM Enjoying Divergent a lot and I am just whizzing through it. I can't help it. LOL It is very fluid and easy to read. Enjoyed my coffee a lot this morning.

Susan I have about 5 of her books that I have not read yet mainly because most of them belong in her D.D. Warren series and I would like to read them in order.

Kathryn glad you have gotten good news on Thom, that is always promising. Hope you hear more about everything soon.

Victor sorry to hear about the supposed food poisoning. Hope everyone feels better soon.
