message 1651: by Alondra (new)

Alondra Miller 7:38pm ET. Chillin' after an exhausting day of working with one of the doctors after some loser called-out. Then one of the other doctors talked to me like I was 11 and needed alone time or something... she almost got told off, but she is always a witch, so I don't expect much from her. Anyway, came home a ate 3 cookies to cuddle myself... :D

Tee27 | 96 comments It's 8:51 PM, and I'm watching wrestling. Well, not really. I just woke up from a nap and it happened to be on. I used to love to watch it back in the days, but I can't get into it anymore.

5:21am and I woke with lots of energy today. Enjoying my coffee, just fed the puppy. Not much on the agenda today except for reading. I have 10 books at the library hub is picking up on his way home from work. Lots of good stuff, can't wait! Enjoy your day everyone!

Janie, your husband's schedule sounds like it sucks!

Kathryn, I miss hearing about all the delicious things you're cooking!

Katy (katyas-69) | 1731 comments 7:54 a.m. EST Woke up about 7, have a doctor's appointment a bit after 9, so clearing out my e-mail in the meantime. Then a novella to edit. Wheeee!


message 1666: by Kathryn (new)

Kathryn (kcanty313) | 1870 comments 9:10 AM. Kind of in a bad mood. I hate being in a bad mood. It's raining and it took me over 25 minutes to go five miles. Usually it takes me 10 to 15 minutes to get to work. Anyways, I'll stop complaining and try to slap a smile on my face. :) Hope everyone has a great day! :)

So it must have been something LOL. Hope everyone has a god day today. I will struggle through some more short stories. Looking forward to our Kin read in a few days.

AMEN! LOL. It only took 16 years. LOL. For the hubby that is.

The girls are pretty good about cleaning. By nature, they don't like too much mess.

Kathryn (kcanty313) | 1870 comments 9:10 PM. Wanting something sweet to eat and about to get back to reading.


message 1678: by Katy (new)

Katy (katyas-69) | 1731 comments Kathryn, my mother-in-law sent us truffles and some milk chocolate things that are shaped like Pringles. I'd share if you were here!

12:32 a.m. EST Today is the day I can start on the ABNA reviewing, IIRC. Tonight, rather. Meanwhile, I'm reading my The Book of Cthulhu II anthology now that I'm awake again. I popped in to make sure I had the info down about the short story I just finished (I'm just going to write them down after this rather than pop in to make notes on the review after every short) on the right short story. And noticed that one of my FB friends went to town today and sent in lots of pictures and stuff. Since it's a big deal for her to go to town, sort of how it was for me when I was growing up 30 miles from town, I don't mind, but I have to clear all of that out now! So, off I go!


message 1679: by [deleted user] (new)

6:45am. Got up at 2am due to pain, meds finally kicking in. At least I had some reading time in the middle of the night. Just had an English muffin for breakfast, still enjoying my coffee. Also just requested a romance from the library. I HATE romances, but I need to try to read one for a challenge. Should be interesting...Now spending some time catching up on GR, then it's back to my books.

message 1682: by Kathryn (new)

Kathryn (kcanty313) | 1870 comments 9:10 AM. At work listening to some music and needing to get busy. Thought I would check in on GR first. Have a great day! :)

Katy-:)

Holly | 1184 comments It's 11:03 a.m. and I'm very excited because my husband and I are going car shopping today. I can't wait to get a new car!!!!!!! :-D


message 1684: by Katy (new)

Katy (katyas-69) | 1731 comments Sorry to hear about the pain waking you, Terri. I always hate when that happens. Why torture yourself with romance? Umm, oh, I know, read one of Ariel Tachna's urban fantasy/romances, they're pretty good for romance! Dan, I hope you aren't feeling too poorly, but at least you can read!

1:29 p.m. EST Just woke up about 1/2 hour ago, clearing out e-mail. Having trouble with FB, can't like or comment on statuses, can't post my own status. I can poke, and I can send in statuses from outside FB, but I can't actually interact with anyone, which is really annoying. I just updated my javascript, I'll see if that helps.

message 1689: by Katy (new)

Katy (katyas-69) | 1731 comments 4:14 p.m. EST This Cthulhu anthology is pretty good, but slow reading. Just clearing out e-mail now that all the updating is done, then I'll go read for reals...

Tee27 | 96 comments 9:32 PM, and I'm watching American Idol. Even though I'm so tired, I hope to finally finish Gone Girl.


message 1694: by Kathryn (new)

Kathryn (kcanty313) | 1870 comments 9:23 PM. Alondra I know what you mean....I am making myself leave early on Friday. I feel like I deserve it. Haha! Just think: Two more days until the weekend! :)


message 1695: by Katy (new)

Katy (katyas-69) | 1731 comments Sorry you're stressed by work, Cassie. Hope you feel better.

12:41 a.m. EST had a nice nap, read a bit, now I'm clearing out e-mail and then I'll go back to reading. One of the books I edited in January is now available in its new edition: Longclaws. If you're interested.

Thanks, Katy. I'm torturing myself just because I need a romance for 2 different challenges. I'll give it a try but I don't know if I'll make it all the way through. Thanks for the suggestion, I might check out Ariel Tachna.

It's 1:35am and I'm up again tonight. Having trouble settling on a book to read. I've tried about 4 different ones and nothing is clicking. Trying to read Wolf Hall which is supposed to be so good but I'm bored and struggling with it. I'm trying a bunch of different genres and titles for different challenges--I suppose the idea is to broaden my perspective but I just don't know. Why struggle through a book that just doesn't speak to you? (I'm talking myself out of it.)

Guess I'll go make some coffee...


message 1697: by Rachel (new)

Rachel it's 5:05 am and i probably should be asleep lol

Terri- i normally don't read romance either but one of my all time favorite books is Like Water for Chocolate- it's part star crossed romance, part soap opera with magical realism and lots of food- it's also not a long book in case you end up not liking it ;)

hope you feel better soon

I've actually been going through this lately. It makes me want to go back a re-rate my books.

Here are a couple I REALLY enjoyed:

Intensity, Shantaram

6:58AM Had a good night of sleep only it did not last long enough. Checking GR and gonna finish this N&D book today.

Terri I don't like Romance either. Now I can read books with a little romance mixed in. Hope you can settle on something to read.
