Oh but having the King now will make it all worth it Alondra!

Holly | 1184 comments hIt sure will....I love my king size bed! I'm sure once it's all over you'll love your bed too Alondra!

✨Susan✨ (suswelch) | 904 comments Can't imagine not having a cal King. Room for us and mini pups with all getting a good night sleep. There are 1200 count Egyptian cotton sheets on eBay that get softer every time you wash them and are reasonable for as long as they last. We get the waterbed version that is attached at the bottom for a quick and lasting make up. Also you can get the depth of the fitted sheet pockets customized. Sorry..,TMI...but I love our sheets.

Alondra Miller Thanks, everyone. It is like living on an island!! LOL

The chore of changing everything around was very tiring, but so worth it. Also gives me an excuse to spend money, since I have a moratorium on buying books each quarter... :(

Alondra Miller 8:50 a.m. Woke up to the smell of sausage cooking and a big puppy licking my face. Whats not to love???

Enjoyed my 2nd night of sleeping in a King-Sized bed and it was wonderful, as Janie, Susan and Holly will attest.

On my second cup of coffee, and ready to tackle yard work, reading and a nap. :D

...btw, I am off tomorrow! Woot!!

10:12AM Enjoying some coffee this morning. Hub is making some home made waffles which sounded good, but are kind of a big no no for me, but what the heck, I will have a couple. They are so good.

Looking forward to getting more of The Fiery Cross read today. Just glad I am enjoying it more this time.

Your livvin the life Alondra. Lol. ;-$. Have a great day tomorrow, maybe you can sleep in.

Trying to get some reviews done. It's part of my New Years resolution to not get more than four behind so I can still remember how I felt/related to the book.

Susan I don't know how you can wait to write them. I have to do mine as soon as I finish or otherwise I lose the feelings for the books, unless of course it is Will, Joe, Claire or Jamie related then I am fine. Haha

✨Susan✨ (suswelch) | 904 comments Some I finish and do it right away but others I let resonate. I'm so happy you are enjoying your book! Page 500...coming down the final stretch.

So sorry Alondra, no body should have to do tax stuff on their day off. Yuck! Hope you get some afternoon R&R (reading & reclining).

Shell (shellcampbell) | 757 comments 2.20PM and the day is dragging on soooooo slowly :/ I wish I was at home reading instead of at work! I haven't had much time for reading lately which makes me so sad :( I am hoping to at least get an hour in tonight and catch up on some Harry Potter. I hope you are all going great!

8:04AM Getting ready to go to a job fair in Denton for Aldi's warehouse. Hub is retiring soon and to keep our insurance is going to be very expensive so I am going for this part time job to make up for it. Wish me luck.

12:41PM Thanks y'all it was a little Anti-Climatic. LOL All we did was turn in apps. LOL We will hear next week.

Susan it is hard to believe that he is retiring. He just can't stand that job anymore. I have to make sure he does not get lazy. They often say once men retire then they tend to do just that and end up unhappy. I have to make sure that does not happen. ;)

8:15PM Wow what a beautiful day today topping out at 87 degrees. The house did get a little warm since we are not ready for the AC to be running just yet. LOL I got another 100 pages read in The Fiery Cross. I am way obsessed with this series. Amy and I talk about it every night when she comes to get Aves.

Alondra Miller 9:16 p.m. It has been a busy weekend and not much reading done. The new carpet gets placed Wednesday.... how did that happen?? So, I had to paint before the new stuff comes in. I am so tired. I need to win the lotto.

We also are replacing ceiling fans... all of them. I would cry from being so broke, but I am too tired. :/

No worries on the remote, neither he or I watches much TV, but he may be reading more. He said he is going to start reading Outlander.

1:01AM Time for this chick to get to bed. Read darn near 200 pages today of The Fiery Cross. Only have a little over 100 pages to go.

Susan he read a few pages in Outlander today. Not sure how he will do with it. I guess we will soon see.

9:01AM Started Harry Potter, and will read more of it today. I am enjoying these more this time. I have a better understanding and appreciation for middle grade books now that I have read many since the first reading of HP.

Shell just take your time and enjoy it. It may feel slow to start but it gets pretty good.

9:30AM Good morning All. Just have a few things to do today and then I will continue with Harry Potter reading and Also The Bargaining, it is a creepy story. LOL Love it. Will finish both soon. I will finish HP today and hopefully the other one tomorrow, but we will see.


message 13746: by Alondra (new)

Alondra Miller 8:59 p.m. Sitting here with a stuffy nose. I hate getting sick. It takes forever for me to recuperate, and I never even had a fever, nausea, congestion or anything. Just stupid Sinuses!! Ugh!

Anywho, reading Night Watch still, and it is pretty interesting, but a dense book. Maybe, because I am still sick.

I also picked up A Christmas Carol. Don't ask me why.... I have no clue; but it is as good as I remember.
