Many moons ago I had a little Pomeranian. After I left my first ex-husband, he came to live on the ranch with my folks. My dad said he was his lion dog screwed down for rats because he was so fierce. Such a wonderful little dog. *sigh* He saved my mom from a rattlesnake, but he was too old to survive it himself.
7:56 p.m. EST Had a bit of excitement here today, a duplex three over caught fire and the police were going through the neighborhood trying to have us evacuate. It was so weird because the fire trucks came without sirens. Anyway, it went out fairly quickly despite the wind and I went back to sleep. Going to do my darnedest to do some editing tonight.
I seem to be having a lot of trouble with notifications at the moment so I apologise if I miss something. It is very frustrating!! 11.48 AM I am feeling much brighter today thank goodness! I got a good way into Divergent last night and I so want to go home and get stuck into it again, but I am picking up 5 pounds of pork neck bones this afternoon and I need to use it to make stock tonight so that will take a few hours but hopefully once it's all prepared I can just read and keep an eye on it. I'm surprised how much I'm enjoying Divergent, I haven't read a book that's sucked me in this much in a long time!
@ Kathryn - I'm glad Thom got through the surgery okay, it sounds like he is recovering well considering what he has been through - that is great news.@ Victor - food poisoning is horrible! I hope you get better really quickly!
@ Lauren - good luck with your exam, hope it goes really well :)
@ Darcy - hope you get over your cold quickly, get lots of rest and feel better soon {{{HUGS}}}
7:43pm.. about to start studying for school...lol...I want to start reading something else tonight too. I was reading S., but had a difficult time following it and understanding it...so I gave up!!! Too much going on in that book!!!
8:27PM Totally enjoying my read of Divergent! Enjoyed some coffee already, did a short work out, and now I am ready to read more Divergent. Only about 70 pages to go.
Far out Janie - you have destroyed that book! That must be one of the quickest reads ever in history hahaha!
8:48pm Dang Janie! See, this is why you are the Mod of these fair discussions. Killing it with that reading speed! At the moment, I'm brushing up my writing skills in a few Roleplays on here. Need to be exercising some time in the near future tho :/
9:05 PM. I had a few errands to run today and got those done. When I got home, I had a great workout, then Mark got home and we talked for a bit. I got a shower, and we had leftover fajitas for dinner. So yummy! Talked with my dad who is out of town, and now I've got a cup of hot unleaded (decaf coffee), and am going to read. Once Mark's episode of Dexter is over, he needs to pick out what he is going to wear tomorrow since he has to wear a tie, and I've got to iron his clothes. Oh crap! I need to go check on little kitty outside!!! I will do that now! :)
I've stayed up most of the night again!! Its 3.15 and I can't relax a enough to go to sleep. I finished The Shadow of the Wind earlier and I keep thinking about the book. I loved it and I'll take a bit before I stop thinking about it. I've ordered the sequel.
Glad you felt that way about it Angie, I'm really looking forward to reading it in the next couple of months.
09.07Having just acquired a Kindle Fire, reading my first ever e book In the Tall Grass, took me about 20 minutes to get used to it! But I think now my world is complete!
I changed to a nexus7 at Christmas Sean and it took me about a week to get used to it! It does everything the kindle does but a bit more on top. I downloaded the apps for kindle and goodreads and that was that sorted. Just wait till you get all the free books. I went a bit crazy when I got mine last years!Shell, The Shadow of the Wind is a truly amazing book. I wasn't sure at first but when you get a little way into it , then it takes of and is great.
I hope you got your babies settled Darcy, I had my boys with only one year between them and it was often hard to get them chilled out for sleep time. Its 10.50 am here in the UK and I'm getting ready for the dentist. One filling and my teeth cleaned so not so bad:)
6:06 a.m. EST Oh, that was an AWESOME episode of Angel. I need to sleep a bit now. But I'm not tired, damnit. *sigh* Well, I took stuff that should make me sleepy soon, so hopefully it'll kick in.
Oh Katy, I'm such a big Angel and Buffy fan, were are you up to in the series? My favourite Angel series is s.3. I loved the introduction of Holt's!! How many times have you watched, I've seen it so much I can't remember the number,lol. Its awesome!

6:41AM Getting ready to send Kayla off to school and I might find my way back into my comfy bed. I love being able to crawl back into that warmth. As long as Aves stays asleep we are good.
Janessa, hope you are feeling better!

11.45PM I should have been in bed ages ago but I couldn't put down Divergent! I think I might get up earlier than I need to so that I can read some more before I go to work! Goodnight everyone :)
9:59 AM. Good morning, GR! I actually have been up for a while, and just haven't checked into GR. Not much to do today, other than read, do the dishes, and fold some laundry. I really hope I get further into Divergent. I stayed up past midnight reading, but I got so sleepy and went to sleep. Hope you all have a great Wednesday! Oh, I did get an email from B&N my books I ordered on Saturday are being delayed. :/
10:45am. I got up at 3am. my 3 year old was coughing so bad. Got her to sleep, Then my 1 year old got up & wouldn't go back to bed till 8! My 15 year old stay home today. Isn't feeling well. I went back to bed & got up not to long ago. 23 degrees right now. I don't like the cold.
11:44 AM Oh man, is there something in this Texas air right now? My sinuses are killing me. It's put a serious damper on my reading. I was hoping to finish THREAT VECTOR, THE GOLDFINCH, and THE KEPT today, but I just don't know if I can do that with this sinus headache I got going on. I am gonna need caffeine and chocolate, hehe.

I have break in between my two class so I am just chilling in the library reading Bleak House by Charles Dickens. My morning class is Anthropology and my afternoon class is drawing I: black and white. This should be a good semester for me

Its 7.10pm and I'm watching Sleepy Hollow but the film not the show. I want to read some of The Wasp Factory later.
2:52PM Spent the morning and early afternoon with my grand baby, watching Toy story 3 and The Land Before Time. So now we are gonna play Chicken Invaders. Started reading or I should trying to read les miserable, and it is tough, so I picked up a Kristin Hannah book to read, Winter garden. But Aves does not want me reading right now.
Chuck hope the sinuses calm down a bit, Hub has been struggling with it as well. It has been bad.

Going from YA to that style probably takes a small adjustment period. It reads to me like Dostoyevsky, which I had problems with at first but now love.
Speaking of Dostoyevsky let me share this with you guys. I found out that Downpour is giving away the CRIME AND PUNISHMENT audiobook download through JAN 31! Woot, Woot, Woot! It's a Blackstone Audio production, too! Woot, Woot, Woot! It was also nominated for an Audie Award in 2009 which tell you it ought to be a pretty good dang performance. Go here: http://www.downpour.com/crime-and-pun...
When you check out use 'crimefree' as the code.
What's cool about Downpour is they allow you to download MP3 and M4B files. Last time I went to Audible I could only get AA files.

Please:)
