8:33 am Catching up on Booktube or anything book related while having coffee. Good morning!
Mod
Jen I am forever trying to catch up on Booktube, but I don't think it I meant to happen for me. I will always be behind I think!
Cory your birthday is coming fast. Be sure to remind us so we can wish you a happy Birth day.

Sure thing.
1:38 p.m. The Cheesecake Factory...need I say more??
2:53- Trying to finish Tiger Eyes by Judy Blume so that we can watch the movie tonight (it's on Netflix). I have to stop to fold laundry on and off, but overall it's a lazy day :)
Mod
1:50PM Working on a list of things that I want for my birthday, I don't like to wait and do it at the last second.
11:53 am
Working on art history homework right now. Mainly just reading in my textbook I'm on Ancient Greek right now, which is pretty cool. I did manage to finish a book last night so now I have read 44 out of 100 books for my reading goal this year:)

4:13 PM My Mom and I brought my Grandmother over for an early dinner because it's Grandparents Day, and we made a special dinner for her and she loved it.
21.47Just in from seeing my eldest boy over at his Dad's. I've gotten a bit read on my kobo today, but I really want to crack on with Heart-Shaped Box but the OH wants to play CoD with me on Xbox, so I wont get much read tonight. Hoping to read a chunk of it tomorrow when my 2 year old starts nursery.

4:45PM My social worker just dropped my off at home and I just found out that my Grandmother's sister and brother-in-law have been harassing her over the phone, a while back my Grandmother wanted to move back to her hometown because she didn't feel very welcome down here and her sister and brother-in-law got her in preparation to move back, about a week ago my Grandmother changed her mind because she want's to remain close to my mom and I, and her in-laws took it the wrong way and they made a few phone calls to her house today and started harassing her, I was so disgusted and angry about it, my Mom brought her over to our house to spend the night tonight because she's scared to stay by herself, and I'm scared for her. My Mom is gonna try to get a restraining order on her in-laws because this can't go on, anyway I don't want to go to far into the details but I'm asking everyone to say a prayer for my Grandmother, and if anyone else who has a family member or friend with Alzheimer's disease, just keep telling yourself that it's not their fault.
22.26pmChilling. Been at Zumba tonight, got home, had a shower and came online. Gonna be in bed soon, though. I've got to get up at 6.30 to make sure I can get my 2 year old to nursery on time without a rush :) x
6:36 p.m. Eating dinner, catching up on updates, and ready to finish off High Moor. I just may be a new fan ... :O
Corey, I will keep your family in my prayers.
Mod
Cory keeping all of you in my prayers!
10:02pm in bed. This semester of graduate school is going to be the death of me! Research=yuck! I think I read the same two pages for over an hour!!! My other class is very interesting though-Stress, Crisis, and Coping, very current and relevant! Just a lot of reading and commitment! And both are online!
10:11 PM Still getting my homework done. I love reading obviously but English homework sucks! And Biology isn't too great either.
Cory, I hope things will get calm around you. 10:19pm. Brianna who is 2 decided that now would be a perfect time to play & try to defy gravity.
Mod
Victor Biology was one of my favorite classes. I liked all of the science classes actually.
9:35AM I am just at work watching it rain. I will try to pick up Gone Girl to read today. I am struggling to get into this book. I don't particularly like either of the main characters. I will try and push through it but I don't know. I don't want to DNF it. UGH

Totally random of me to pop in a reply (I'm usually just a stalker and add books to my lists), but I just wanted to let you know that I'm keeping your Grandma and you and your family in my prayers. I've been in a very similar situation with my Mom, she was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's and Dementia 3 years ago. She continued to live on her own for a year, but is now in a nursing home. I'm just a click away if you'd like to talk or vent. I've also found some books that can be quite helpful in caring for family and loved ones. ~ Tonya

Tonya wrote: "Hi Corey! I don't mind a bit. :)"Yeah I happened to look at some of the different books you've read and from the looks of it we like a lot of the same genres. Anyway the thing about my Grandmother is some days she'll wake up and not know what day it is, she's just so confused right now, but thank you very much for thinking of me. I'm hanging in there though, and thanks for becoming my friend.

So yesterday I spilled my drink on my new laptop. luckily with these types of keyboards they can pretty much keep the liquid out of the most important parts. my space bar is still sticking some after hub took the keyboard off and tried to clean it up. UGH! But it could have been worse I guess.
In English class this morning the Professor asked "how many of you have read a book over the summer?" I was the only one to raise my hand. Random thoughts at 5:17 pm.
That sucks Janie! I like Biology class I just don't like the HW and quizzes. We got our group assignments today and my group got a fat F. My job was to write the conclusion and the conclusion for our experiment was graded 4/5. So I contributed a B. 6:12PM I auditioned for Speech Team today and made the team. I'm so happy!!

Yay Aves feels better and is back to school. He missed it. I think it was just allergies for him. But he is better now, just a little scratchy. But woke up without a fever, so yay!
People uptight today because of recent threats on the country. It makes me wonder why these terrorists are even allowed to exist. If I could I would take them all out.
The laptop is fine thank goodness. We have only just made the first payment on it. I have never had this kind of thing happen before so I about cried when it happened this time. Hub popped out the keyboard and now it is fine. Some keys are still a little sticky but getting better. Thankful that they design these keyboards like this since it pretty much protects the rest of the puter.
9:50AM I am remembering my feelings about 9-11-01. I was living in Misawa, Japan. It is an airbase on the main island of Honshu. Our military channels had been off air because of the typhoon that went through so I went to bed early. I remember being woken up by the phone. My Mom was calling from the states. She wanted to know if I saw what had happened in New York. She said an airplane had hit the World Trade Center in New York. I remember turning the tv back on and it was back on the air. I saw the second plane hit and knew instantly I had to get off the phone. I remember a military official calling to tell us we were on threat-con Charlie. Then a few minutes later they called back and said we were on threat-con Delta. Which is the highest level of alert. We were ordered to stay put. Only essential military workers were to be on the roads. We were restricted to base. We had a curfew. It was crazy. I remember how upset I felt. How angry I felt. How I watched all the footage and just wept. I will never forget 9-11-01. It will be with me always.

Andrea I too will forever remember 9/11. Sometimes I wonder why people such as this are allowed to exist.

Andrea, I was just thinking about 9/11, I was 9 years old when that happened, a very sad day, I will always remember it too.

It is such a terrible illness. It is not only terrible for the person that is inflicted with the disease, it is so painful for their loved ones. It is heartbreaking. If you ever need to talk, please do not hesitate to send me a message.

I'm about to go finish the green mile then go from there and its 2:14 pm central standard time here in TN.
It's 3:15 pm eastern in FL. I went over some ABC Mouse with my kids and gave them a snack. Now I have to put dishes away (I don't have to wash them because my AWESOME husband washed them this morning while I was working) and fold/put away laundry. Don't know if/when I will read before dinner. Heck I don't even know WHAT I'm making for dinner...lol

2:53 P.M. Waiting for it to warm up in here a bit. Have been in kind of a reading slump. Wondering if I should start a couple of different books.....see if that helps....
3:57PM. Staring at my work clock, willing it to be 5 so I can go HOME! I just had one of those days where I had zero motivation. Plus, I need to finish the book I'm currently reading, The End of Your Life Book Club. I was SO close while on my lunch break!!I have two books at home waiting in the wings. The One & Only, which I am reading with two girlfriends, and The Silkworm. I thoroughly enjoyed The Cuckoo's Calling,so I'm hoping this one is good too!
My daugher Amelia, who is 1, decided to only nap for 45 minutes today while my mom watched her. So I'm expecting a bear when I get home.

It is 4:28 p.m. and I'm hoping to stay out of the hospital long enough to re-connect with all my good friends on GR's. Just got finished reading
and I'm debating my next book to read. Might have to go back to some YA so I can catch up on my goal of 52 books this year. I am way behind after all the health issues. I would really like to accomplish my goal this year as I didn't quite make it last year.
