Glad to hear you've had a better day :)

Yw Dan. And our dear friend Stephen King writes Nightmares & Dreamscapes. It is a collection of short stories. We are having a buddy read for February 1st if you would like to join us. :)
12:27 a.m. EST editing and listening to Weird Al Yankovich. Just finished Alpocalypse and on to Bad Hair Day. Finally heard Straight Outta Lynnwood the other day and finalized my MP3 collection... all caught up on my Weird Al again! Nowhere near my Bowie collection, but it rivals my GWAR collection now... at least in volume of music. X-D
5.10pm - finally it's time to go home! The first day back at work after 4 days off is always hard. Will quickly go home, get changed and head off to yoga then hopefully will still have time for some reading later on this evening.
1:47 a.m. EST Hello Michelle on the other side of the world! I'm still editing to the dulcet tones of Weird Al Yankovich. Husband is just going to bed, so will likely turn off the music soon, or possibly put on earphones. But likely just turn it off. I'm constantly distracted by the desire to go to YouTube and watch a video... X-D
3:41pm Mom has just finished work so I'm going to go meet her so we can go shopping, I will hopefully persuade her to buy me a book for two hehe:D
Mod
11:53 a.m. EST Just up from a nap, going through my e-mail and then I'll be back to editing! Fed the cats some gooshie and gave His Royal Majestic Fluffiness the Fluff a few crunchy treats, too, since he eats so slowly he never has as much of the gooshies as the other boys.C'mon, Janie - you can read a whole book between now and Friday! Go for it!! *peer pressure* ;-)

Hope everyone has a great day!"I know what you mean, I am hoping to get WTTKH done before it's time to read Nightmares And Dreamscapes. Then I hope finish that, read Wolves of the Calla and be ready to start Kin on the 15th. After Kin I will hopefully read the last two DT books and will be good to go for something in March.
12:17 p.m. EST Just finished e-mail, and now it's on to editing. Only I'm hungry. damnit... *sigh*
9:11pm ET. Thinking about starting The Scorch Trials, while finishing up Thirst No. 1: The Last Vampire, Black Blood, and Red Dice. I think I will be done with it by this weekend or close to it.... :D
8:48 PM. Checking up on GR and my GR friends. Then, I am going to read until I fall asleep. Miss you guys!!

Enjoy your reading Kathryn! Sounds like you've been really busy and deserve the R&R :)
11:10pm here. Reading The Walking Dead, Book One while I'm waiting for my friend to call me back. He thinks his fiance is cheating on him and we're supposed to talk about it. He was supposed to call a while ago. I'm worried about him.
Dan wrote: "11:10pm here. Reading The Walking Dead, Book One while I'm waiting for my friend to call me back. He thinks his fiance is cheating on him and we're supposed to talk about it. He was supposed to cal..."Wow, that's terrible. I hope he's okay and that she hasn't been cheating on him :(
11:56 p.m. EST Going through e-mail. Finished the first issue of "Witch Doctor - Malpractice" and have two more to go. There are still three issues left in the series, I only have half of them, but it's good stuff. Need to finish my editing job and read a book for Rhemalda; it sounds good, so I'm psyched for that.Dan... back when my best friend was engaged to his first ex-wife and I was married to my first ex-husband, I learned his fiancee was running around on him. I warned him. He went through with the marriage. That b****h is still making him miserable, AFAIK. I hope your friend doesn't go through what mine did... :-(

But he needs to get his head straight.
12:33am here. Jumping from The Walking Dead, Book One back to 11/22/63. LOL...I probably should just stick to one book at a time but to late for that now.
12:38 a.m. EST just finished clearing out my inbox, and now on to finish this editing project! wOOt!
Mod
5.15pm About to leave work - going home to make a big batch of tomato sauce out of the hundreds of kilo's of tomatoes I picked out of my garden last night!
3:35 a.m. EST, just finished my edit, made a couple people happy! I'm going to quick finish the 2nd issue of Witch Doctor - Malpractice, and then read the book for Rhemalda that needs a review! Wheeee! Maybe I'll sleep in there somewhere, I dunno....
8:55am should probably be doing some coursework but instead I'm reading, oops.
4:12 a.m. EST, just finished the comic, cleared out my e-mail, and make a start on The Astrologer. It's starting out with a bang and a clang and a sword fight! Promising...
It's 8:43am on a gray, rainy morning, sitting here with coffee and checking out GR. It was 66 this morning and we have tornado warnings today. The temperature is supposed to fall all day with snow expected tonight. Crazy weather! Can't decide whether or not I should make bread again today. We're finishing off the vegetable soup tonight, so it would go well with it, but I'm having trouble getting motivated. The puppy escaped from our yard yesterday, and it took me a panicked 20 minutes to find him. I could do without that kind of excitement. Also, he loves the rain and the mud. Hope everyone has a great day today!
2:23pm making myself a coffee and some bagels. then ill read some more :)
Mod
1:09 p.m. EST, just finished The Astrologer and clearing out e-mail before starting the next book.
It's 12:29 p.m. and I'm checking out GR after a couple days' absence.
1:34 p.m. EST Just about to crack open The Book of Paul and a weissbier (hi, Dan! Finally picked some up!!)
11:43am Went for coffee this morning with a friend. lots of venting and laughing, we were overdue. Fun! At home briefly to eat and have yet another coffee before I run out to the school for noon hour supervision. I want to squeeze some reading in somewhere today.

8:06pm ET. Chilling in the easy chair and ready to read :)
7:41 PM. Waiting for spaghetti and spaghetti sauce to get done. Then, going to read something. Hopefully...:)
9:36pm here. Just got off the phone with an awesome girl. LOL. About to take a shower and go read 11/22/63. Also waiting for a friend to call me back.Yes, it is that same friend that I was talking about on here last night. She's not cheating on him, cause he texted me today and said,"Hey man shits okay ill call u 2nite"

I haven't made it in a few weeks, and while I am still trying to adjust to working, I planned ahead and got everything to make it because it is easy, even though I make my own sauce. It was soooo delicious. My husband even commented a few times saying it "hit the spot." haha
5:31am can't sleep so reading for an hour before I have to be up for placement
It's 4:45am and I stayed up all night to finish a terrific book. Hub just made coffee which I am more than ready for. Now I'm checking GR and updating all my challenges. Cold this am (21 degrees after 68 yesterday). No special plans for today, starting 2 new books, a fiction and a biography. Make it a great day everyone!!
4:58 a.m. EST After being up all night Tuesday, and then going to pub yesterday for lunch, and then reading for several more hours, I finally crashed out around 5 or 6 last night and just woke up about 1/2 hour ago. Now I have lots of e-mail to read, and then back to my book!Dan, glad to hear your friend is working everything out. Kathryn, your spaghetti does sound good! I used to make my own sauce, too, but then I became lazy and used sauce from a can, and then I just quit doing any cooking at all. Heh. What, I can't stand up long enough to cook anything! :-)
9:29 a.m. EST doing a bit of research on extreme body mods from reading this book. Some weird stuff out there, yo...
8:35pm ET. Enjoying just being home and being able to just sit here after a long day. Ready to read, though :O
7:56 PM. Cooking breakfast for dinner. In a few minutes, project runway will be on, and then, I hope to finally pick something to read. Tomorrow is Friday, and hopefully payday! I say hopefully because I started working in the middle of the month, and I just don't know if my paperwork went through on time. If not, I will get it next month. :)P.S. HIIIIII ALONDRA!!! Miss you! And my other GR friends. :)
12.25pm feeling very sad :( Just had a phone call from my mum saying that my step-dad's brother was just killed in a car accident. I wish there was something I could do, it makes me feel sick in my tummy :(
Kathryn wrote: "P.S. HIIIIII ALONDRA!!! Miss you! And my other GR friends. :)..."awwww; we miss you too. ((((hugs))))
I am glad you have found a job that you like; that is hard. We will just wait for you on the weekends :)
