I'm a Corona man myself. I say crack open one of those "wierd English Lagers" and relax. Who cares if it gives you bitter face as long as you get some alcohol flowing through your blood. LMAO!!
        
      10:43PM Have grandbaby tonight but thankfully he is asleep! Now I can take some time this evening to hit up GR and do some heavy reading. (I hope!)
    
  
  
   2:59 a.m. EST My husband discovered that his Panzer tank game site now has music playing and has spent the last two hours listening to first German Techno/Metal, then disco, then German traditional music... Pretty amusing, really. I've just been reading and listening along and talking to the cats.

I want it to taste good, too! :-) Since I can't drink much because of my medications, I have to make what I do drink count. Hubby figured, "If it's English it must be okay," but that's not quite right. Plus I'm not a huge fan of lager generally; I like ales and weissbiers and that sort of thing. *shrug* I think it's Tetley, but I can't remember off the top of my head. Anyway, I told him next time to get me weissbier, maybe Widmer if he can find it. Widmer heffeweissen is awesome, with a slice of lemon in a frosty glass... mmmmm.
      It's 9:11am EST and I'm spending a leisurely Saturday morning with hub and puppy. A little snow on the ground from yesterday, it's fun to watch the puppy frolic in the snow. Spending time on GR, planning a library trip later today. Finished a great book last night and now I need to replenish the pile. Jordan, hope you're doing better today. Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend! (Kathryn, can't wait for your update!)
    
  
  
  
        
      8:58AM Sitting here with my cup o coffee. Hub just started a new shift. He gets to work on days again but it means off thurs and friday, work Sat and sun. :/ But it is ok I guess, we will all get used to it. Just used to having him home on weekends. Good Morning all my GR friends.
    
  
  
   10:07 am Trying to finish up A Fall of Giants before running errands, lunch with one of my besties w/ my girls, cook, and visit my mom. I guess you see why it takes long to finish a book. Besides reading, I love socializing.

     8:09 PM. It's been a lazy, drizzly, gloomy day. Mark had to work today and didn't get home until 4:30, so I did some cleaning around the house. Been in a reading funk....Nothing is really grabbing me for some reason. Maybe it is all of the adjustment from this week. I was pretty worn out last night and slept this morning until about 11. haha, oops.

     It's 9:25 PM, and the TV is playing in the background. I don't know why, but I'm in a reading funk, too, like you, Kathryn :-(.

     9:29pm ET. Time to finish up Murder on the Links and figure out what to read with Thirst. mmmmm; I think Flesh and Bone is next... i will have to think about it.

     8:41 PM. I thought a King would fix it, but I tried two, and they couldn't hold my interest, and I tried to read Gone Girl, but the way it was written was kind of off putting. Maybe I should just read something completely different. Sometimes if I read a chick-lit or something like it, it takes me out of my funk. Maybe I am just tired.

     Kathryn, a couple years ago I read some books about Kate Connor, Demon-Hunting Soccer Mom or something like that... If you can find them, they're really fun.

Clearing out all the e-mail and then finishing Ameca J and the Demon God of Mythrania.
        
      10:01PM Took Grand blessing home and visited with daughter this evening in her new house! Took her some spaghetti. They still dont have water and it cant be turned on till Monday now. Those people at utilities need to get their act together. LOL now checking in on GR gonna do some more reading tonight.
    
  
  
   1:04 a.m. EST Became caught up in catching up on drama... OH, lady, almost two hours wasted on that nonsense! Still have plenty of e-mail to go through...

     12:24 PM I'm watching Oprah. (Why do I do this to myself?) These inspirational stories are so poignant. I've cried twice already in less than 30 min.

     5:38 p.m. EST Been reading Troll Or Derby by Red Tash and loving it! We had planned to go to the pub today, but had trouble waking hubby up and by the time he managed to wake up, the time was wrong. You have to arrive by 3 or so, which is right before evening rush, or it's too busy to a) find parking and then b) find a seat. Plus he just wasn't feeling well, so he went back to sleep. Too bad, I really wanted a weissbier... *sigh* Anyway, just going through some e-mail and then will either nap or finish my book. Probably both. I have editing to do starting again tomorrow, for an actual publisher! O.O

      6:26PM just finished a game of clue, now drinking a cup o coffee and checking GR. Time to get some more read time in. Would love to finish this book tonight.
    
  
  
   8:12 PM. Have had a busy day! Laundry, dishes, cleaning the bedroom, grocery shopping, cooked and cleaned up dinner, and after my love and I get some ice cream, I'm going to keep working on laundry and find a book to read. :)

     6:17pm Just finished dinner and dessert. Had a busy day in the kitchen, not done yet, the dishes are waiting until after the hockey game. After the game I need to get the kids organized for school tomorrow and do some more reading.

     9:51pm here. Had a real fucking shitty day today. So upset that I can't think straight. Going to take a shower. Hopefully I'll be calmed down by then so I can read.

      It's 1:07am and sleep is elusive tonight. Watching a Bond film on BBC America, the puppy dozing beside me. Plan to read for awhile, thinking about making a pot of coffee to see me through the night. Dan, I hope things have improved for you. It's a quiet and peaceful night.
    
  
  
   Sorry to hear that Dan. Hang in there, let me know if I can help.

2 a.m. EST finished reading Troll or Derby and posting the review, clearing out e-mail. Have a couple of upcoming blog posts (cover reveals, release announcements) to set up, and then a nap and then editing later today.
 4:29pm Just got home from placement:D The teacher I work with told the children I would read them a story (without telling me beforehand) safe to say i nearly pooped my pants lol, it all ended well though. Turns out they picked my favourite childhood book:)

 1:12 p.m. EST Despite my resolve to hold out for the trilogy to be completed, my husband convinced me to watch the first Hobbit movie this morning. I'll admit that when Bilbo said, "In a hole in the hill lived a hobbit," I teared up and grinned like a maniac at the same time... *sigh* Now I want to read it, but I can't just yet.

 7:42pm here. Things are a little bit better today, thanks guys. We just took the Christmas Tree out to the curb. I always get a little sad when we have to do that.

      7:40PM Pulled out my Nightmares & Dreamscapes book getting ready for our next buddy read. Been reading old posts and making sure I did not overdo February, had to rearrange a bit but I tackled it I think. All reads are set lol. Had my coffee, now off to play a bit of my online game. May check back in a little later.
Dan glad you are having a bit better of a day! :)

     7:50 PM. Waiting for a Chinese conference call for work in less than two hours. Missing my GR friends and haven't done any reading lately. Nothing has really caught my attention. Might do some reading until my conference call, or just play around on the internets. :)
