6:06 PM. Got home from work about twenty minutes ago, and had a nice talk with my Grandpa. Now, I'm just waiting on my sweet husband to get home from work. Thinking about picking up Under the Dome to get me out of my reading funk. :)

Thinking about picking up Under the Dome ..."Of all the books to pick up to get out of a funk that seems really daunting. Good luck with that Kathryn. I really liked it, but I would have to work back up to that one. I might re-read it at the end of the year, I want to get closer to my reading goal first, but it was a good one.
6:09 PM and this night will not end. Time seems to run backwards when I get to work and it just isn't fair. Got a little of my audio book read, now just surfing the web trying to keep occupied.
7:28pm here. Tired...and feeling a little down. I'm about to have steak for dinner though so maybe that will cheer me up. I need to get some reading done tonight.@ Kathryn-you're reading Under the Dome? Are you going to finish it, that things huge! LOL. They showed an add during the Super Bowl last night and they are turning it into a TV movie I think.

Usually it is something which is peaking my interest, and just sounds like what I want to read at the moment. I have never read it, but I would like to before the show comes out.

I'm thinking about reading it. I never have, but it just sounds like something interesting to read right now. I'm in a bit of a reading funk, and for some reason, all of this talk about the Under the Dome series is making it peak interest in me.
i think under the dome is being turned into a series this summerStephen King &Steven Spielberg are supposed to be executive producers

That's exactly how I feel at the moment Dan! Hope you're feeling more cheery tomorrow :)

I'm feeling a little bit better. Thanks, Michelle.
9:49pm. Just got out of the shower...gotta get that reading done. LOL.
Chris, what do you do that you can surf the web and read? That sounds like an awesome job! :-)11:11 p.m. EST Up from a nap and clearing out my e-mail. Hubby brought home some Dominoes, so full belly of pepperoni. Had weird dreams and didn't rest very well... once e-mail is cleared, I'll be back to editing while drinking my gas-station cappuccino.
8:58 AM. I've been at work for about thirty minutes. Ready for a busy, busy day. Have a great day everyone!
3:20pm Had the orthodontist earlier, gotta go to hospital to have 4 molars out before they'll put my braces on. :( Made a cup of coffee and listening to some music.
11:48 a.m. EST Having a stimulating discussion on FB about the 2nd Amendment, clearing out e-mail, waking up enough so I can start editing again. It's a bright, sunny, and CHILLY day here in NE Georgia! Or at least I'm cold. *brrrr* My blood is growing thin again. This might be another sunnin' year, once it warms up a bit.

1:29 p.m. EST waiting for hubby to return with lunch, went to pick up the mail and paid our power bill before we were disconnected, which means I needed to transfer money out of PayPal before we went into the red, which means I still don't have enough for this month's medical expenses... augh!! It never ends. Anyway, just taking a bit of a break to read my e-mail and such, then back to work!

Well I am in a retail setting and it is pretty slow, I'm a technician so I am left to my own devices for the most part. I sneak reading and web browsing when the boss isn't around. We have found a way to use Firefox so we can get around the web filters, but even without it our company web lets me get on GR.
I will not say anymore, because I don't want to be asked how to fix things here, and I don't want to be in trouble with my company for not talking favorably. I am not happy in my job and having down time to read and surf the web is the only perk. I am and have been trying to find a better job for years, the economy just sucks a bit.
1:18 PM and I am working the closing shift again so I will be here all night. (Well till 9 PM central anyway). :-)
Ah. I used to work in the tech support division of a place that created electronic test banks for textbooks, and we could do whatever we pleased as long as we took care of business first, so I did a lot of web browsing and e-mailing and IMing back then, but since then most of my jobs have been pretty "focus on what you're doing." I had a temp job once where they didn't mind me reading, and I was doing research for a project, so I loved that and desperately wanted to be hired, but the temp place screwed up my application. *sigh*3:34 p.m. EST Wanted to e-mail my stepmother and Dad and let them know I received their card today and tell them we're hitting an upcoming gun show to spend the money they sent (for guns ... LOL They won't send me money for insurance or medical treatments or bills, but I tell them I want to buy a gun and it's all "here y'go!"), so decided to clear out e-mail while I was taking a break. 39 pages left to edit, and then it's on to my 2nd editing project of the week. I love "my" authors - they keep me busy!
10.20am annoyed and in a bad mood. Don't anybody mess with me! lol

6:32 PM struggling through work with crazy customers bugging me. Work got wise and blocked my site for watching the Hockey game, got to find some way to listen to it while I work.

Haha thanks Chris :) I'd love to go home and have a glass of wine or two but I'm trying to be good and not drink during the week at the moment :/ Will be looking forward to a couple on Saturday night though!
Hope you don't have too much longer to go before you get to go home and enjoy those beers :)
7:48pm. Very tired and had a really bad day. I'm going to take a shower and then hopefully get some reading done.
Dan wrote: "7:48pm. Very tired and had a really bad day. I'm going to take a shower and then hopefully get some reading done."What is with today, seems it just isn't going well for anybody. Well Dan I hope you feel better after the shower and some reading. Good luck with that.

Thanks, Chris. I've just got a lot of crap going on. I'll be okay though.

:D Glad you're having a good day Janie! Thanks for the happy rays!
Sorry for all the folks having a bad day. Apparently my soul-sister was having a bad one, too. Hang in there, all!9:16 p.m. EST Pushing through on this 2nd edit job, because tomorrow is supposed to be the last warm, sunny day for awhile and damn it, I want to go sit in the sun! But taking a quick break to clear out accumulated e-mail before it grows out of control.

Just make sure that when you sit in the sun your skin doesn't start to sparkle....lmao!!!
Hehe! You so crazy... what I have to watch for is that it doesn't BURN. Not as bad as it was after my 15 years of staying out of the sun, but I'm naturally very, very pale, so ...
10:42pm. Depressed. However, I'm reading 11/22/63.
2:01am. Just woke up, dozed off while reading. I guess I should go back to sleep.
2:35 a.m. EST, crapping out. Had hoped to finish my editing, but sleeepy. So having a beer and then hitting the sack once I bring in the barky little dog.Dan, hope you feel better. Kyle, sorry your back is hurting. Mine is too.

It's 2:47am and here I am again, checking out GR in the middle of the night. Taking a break from my book, having a good buddy read with this one. GI upset and leg/hip pain, not a good night, so I identify with you Kyle and Dan. Here's hoping it gets better for all of us...

5:01 a.m. EST Well this is annoying. I couldn't fall asleep. now I have to finish this editing when I'm really not completely with it... 'cause there's no point trying to start a book. When I feel like this, odds are the only way I'm fallin' asleep is drugging myself, and I'm not doing that right now. Nope. There is fog out there and I wanna see it when it lightens up a bit, there will be sun later and I wanna enjoy it. so... here goes nothin'... :-)
Darn, wish my German weren't so rusty. I could only pick out the occasional word. I'm impressed you can write poetry in German!5:55 a.m. EST finished my edit. Now to decide what to read. I'll finish my Spike and then move on.
I have always loved the sound of German, which is why I took two years in college, but I was in my mid-20s by then, and we all know it's harder to learn another language by then! Heh.6:25 a.m. EST Okay, setting up my next book and reading. I'm heading outside soon to see if the fog is as thick as the weather map says. I love fog.

Dan dont read 11/22/63 too quickly, I will be reading it soon lol. Hope you get back to yourself soon.
Kyle back pain sucks. Hope it does not get worse. And hope you are feeling better soon.
Terri same to you girl. I feel for you! I know it must stink. For me it is usually my knees that kill. And mostly wet weather time which we are having so much of it right now.
12:49 sitting at lunch eating...trying to not to over-analyze about my interview earlier this morning
12:36 PM. Sitting at my desk while I eat my salad for lunch. Kind of in one of those stressed out, irritated bad moods. Missing my Gizmo, Pepper, and sweet boy (my husband) while I'm at work.
1:50 p.m. EST We went out to lunch, and then I sat in the sun until I started to turn pink (about 20 minutes I think). Glorious day! Once I have D off to work, I'll try to finally catch some zzs, since I've been awake over 24 hours now... O.O
2:25 PM and I'm just catching up on Goodreads. Still in my reading slump. It's okay, though, I hope to come out of it soon.

I am in a reading slump, too, so I hope you don't feel alone. I keep thinking I am in the mood for a book, and when I try to read it, I realize I don't want to read it after all. Ugh...

9:03pm. Had another crappy day today. Just got out of the shower. About to go try and get some reading done.
