What time is it and what are you doing?
Victor-My brother made me do that once...It was awful.Dan-Hope your MRI goes well. I found out yesterday, I'm going to have to have an MRI on my head in the next few weeks. :/
11:29 AM. Missing my husband while he's at work....He texted me to tell me he should be done by three....:(
It is awful. I think the after pain is worst than the original pain. Hope your MRI's go well Kathryn and Dan:D My Grandma gave me her copy of Angels & Demons by Dan Brown. She said she didn't like it and already saw the movie so she never read it.
Victor wrote: "Dan and Kathryn-Haha:DIt's 11:27AM And I just finished doing the salt and ice challenge. It hurt so bad LOL"
I'm a bit lost here, what is the salt and ice cream challenge?
It's where you put some salt on an ice cube, and see how long you can hold it to your skin. Supposedly, it makes it really cold and painful.
That's nuts, why would you do that??? I can safely say I will not be trying that in the future. You are one crazy dude. :-)

2:36 PM. Sushi, Beer and The Walking Dead. Doesn't get much better then that.@ Victor-Dude, are you alright???
1:39 p.m. Hope to get some much needed reading done today.
2:39 PM EST. Just finished reading
.Awesome ride. Now just looking through GR for a little while. Then plan on going outside to get some air.
Hope your MRI comes out clearly and any potential problem is a small one, Dan!2:44 p.m. EST Again just back in from sitting in the sun until I *almost* started to burn. Clearing out e-mail and then back to reading!

Thanks Katy. It's at 7:30 tonight. I'll log in afterwards and let you guys know what happened. 3:19 PM. Still enjoying Sushi, beer and The Walking Dead.
@ Victor- I am worried about you. What you did is a cry for help.
That's a weird time for an MRI, Dan. I hope it goes well. Victor, you didn't actually try to do that, did you? You'll be lucky if you just experience pain; if you're not lucky, you'll frostbite yourself and end up losing skin or even a hole in your hand, maybe developing an infection, and eventually DYING. Yup. So, best to stay away from silliness like that. If you want to play with salt and ice, try this: put a glass of ice water on a table and then put a bunch of ice in it. It'll freeze to the table. That's good, clean fun.
3:36 p.m. EST Just finished clearing out e-mail, so now I'm off to read. The dog is fussing, he knows it's almost time to go out, so he's saying he's tired of waiting. I didn't want to wake up today, but finally the sun made me crawl out of bed, and now I'm guzzling Coke to try to wake up.
4:27 PM and just over an hour till I'm off work. Then on to the grocery store, and finally home. Listening to the Blues Hockey game on my phone, trying not to stare at the clock.
6:52 p.m. EST Just ready to take a nap. Found out from one of my childhood friends that the lady who taught us in 3rd and 5th grade - probably the best teacher I ever had - just passed away. :-( She was an amazing teacher, and we all loved her. Just another reminder that I'm slowly growing old. *sigh* This is the 2nd of my grade-school teachers to pass away, and oddly enough they were both among the younger ones. So weird.
Mod
7:04 p.m. Hoping to get more reading done tonight. Just want to relax; it's been a long day and my back is killing me.
Janie, you're fortunate to have your grandbaby over so much! You must enjoy it. I know my mom loved living near her grandchildren (my brother and his wife live only two miles away from the main ranch).Holly, sorry to hear your back hurts.
10:11 p.m. EST Had a nice little nap, just clearing out e-mail now and then will read for awhile. Once I finish this book, I have a few upcoming guest posts on my blog I need to schedule, since I have the materials for them.
10:33pm. Sitting here with an abscessed tooth for which I will need a root canal next week. Thank God for pain meds. Everyone on GR is falling apart! Victor, are you OK dude?? Dan, hope your MRI turns out OK. Katy, sympathies for your loss. Holly, hope your back feels better. Janie, you're in the best shape! Enjoy your grandbaby and the good feeling that comes from working out. I'm not going to be able to sleep any time soon, so I plan to read for a good long while. At least the puppy will keep me company. Night, all.
Thanks, Terri. I hadn't been in touch with her in recent years; I'd tried reaching out when I found her on Facebook, but other than accepting my friend request I never did talk to her. But she was my favorite teacher in grade school, with a strong influence on my current tastes in books (moved me past Tarzan and the children's mysteries into epic fantasy, and began my obsession with Celtic mythology) and continues to influence me in my editing today. She had a son one year older than me who was one of my sworn enemies back then; we never understood how such a jerk could have such a cool mom. Heh. Then again, pretty much that whole class hated me, and the feelings were mostly mutual. Anyway, sorry to hear about your tooth. Pain meds make a lot of things more bearable, eh?10:50 p.m. EST Just finished with clearing out e-mail and ready to read more of this really awesome book.
Mod
Terri & Katy I so do enjoy my grandbaby, it is a totally different love! I always tell him he is my sunshine!
12:53 a.m. EST Just taking a short break from reading to update statuses. This book, DeadRoad, is really good. I love this author's voice. I'm going to be checking if Robin Riopelle has anything else available and looking into picking it up.
8:24am ET. Making coffee and toast. Finished reading Bad Moon Rising last night; which makes it the 1st book of March that I have read. I am soooo behind on my reading. Real life just keeps getting in the way. By the time I get off work, I am whooped. Hopefully this is a better reading month. I only read 4-5 books last month. :/
8:54 EST I am a little thrown off with daylight savings time. But I am up reading a little. About to make some coffee and catch up on some postings of GR.
It's 9:37 AM I'm laughing at my mom right now lol
10:48 PM, and I'm browsing Goodreads. I hope everyone has a great day!
Mod
11:22AM I couldn't sleep last night for fear I wouldn't wake up on time to get to work today due to the time change, so I am dragging. After 2 horrible days at work I am really hoping today doesn't follow that trend. Either way it is a shorter day, and I am off tomorrow. The countdown begins 5 hours, 37 min till I am scheduled off. Now I hope that I don;t get stuck here past that. Pancakes and bacon for Dinner tonight, can't wait!!!
12:30 PM. I usually hate sundays. Wait...no I don't because that's when The Walking Dead is on. LOL. I can't wait for tonight's episode. I had my MRI last night and am waiting for them to send the results back. My shoulder popped out again last night. I think I'm going to have to have surgery again on it. Well, I'm off to get lunch. Hope you all are having a good day.
Mod
Dan sorry to hear about the possible surgery. Hope all goes well from here on out.
Janie wrote: "Chris sorry to hear about your dragginess(isthat even a word? LOL) But hey not too much longer and you will be off. I love pancakes!Dan sorry to hear about the possible surgery. Hope all goes wel..."
Thanks Janie, and I think Dragginess is a word, at least I know what you meant if it isn't.
Did you try the soup last night? How was it if you did? If you didn't like it you can tell me it's no big deal.
12:45 p.m listening to the kid whine because I won't let him watch his Curious George DVD for the 3rd time in a row... Grrrr...

Grrrr..."I know what you mean, my Son's favorite right now is either Over the Hedge, or Despicable Me. Now I love both of those so don't mind watching it, but after the second time in one day I am done. Good luck with the tantrum. I know your pain. :-)
Chris, hope today is better. Dan, sorry your shoulder is giving you trouble, hope things go well.2:07 p.m. EST Did NOT want to crawl out of bed today, so tired! But finally did, however, there is intermittent cloud cover so when I tried to sit outside clouds covered the sun. It's out again now, but I'll bet if I go outside the clouds will come again. It's always like that. Anyway, just clearing out e-mail so I can then finish this book. Tomorrow it's back to editing! I have a few blog posts to set up for this week, too, but I'd like to finish this book first.
Thanks for the well wishes Katy, So far so good, but I still have 3 hours, and 29 min to go till the end of shift. It is raining pretty hard here and all I want to do is sit out on my covered balcony and listen to the rain and read while my son colors at his little table that we can put out side. I love the rain and how calming the sound is. Maybe I will sit outside for awhile tonight after dinner and do a little reading. Sounds like a nice idea.
Mod
I was hoping you all would like it. It is such a great soup and so easy to make. I am glad I could give you a winner in the recipe department. Thanks for letting me know.
Mod
3:12 p.m. EST Have next week's guest posts set up. The following week will have more, but I think I'll hold off on that for now. Just a bit more to go with my e-mail and I'll be ready to finish my book. I have been forcing myself to read it slowly, because I'm enjoying it so much!
It is 3:26 pm (EST) and I have just read another chapter of The Lightning Thief, took dog out for a much needed moment of relief, and getting ready to take a shower. Reading has become an obsession with me! Really hard for me to take time out to clean house and other chores :(
Mod
Cindy I too feel obsessed with reading andI love it.
Well, at least I got the shower out of the way and PART of the bathroom cleaned :). Think I'm going back to the Harry Potter book for now. Almost finished with that one.

I have heard mixed reviews about this book. Most people seemed to have really liked the movie but many say the book is somewhat lacking. I am not that far into it yet but so far I like it. Definitely not a five star as of now, but still liking it.

Sorry Janie. What Dreams May Come. I am so used to juggling multiple books at a time I forget that others have no idea which one I'm referring to.

6:39 p.m. EST Finished DeadRoads and just loved it! Was trying to figure out a novella to read this evening and a mixup with LibraryThing e-mails reminded me of an 80 pager called Spirits Rising, which will fit the bill nicely! So, all set. Just clearing out e-mail and then I'll set things up and start reading!
