Oh I hate it when that happens Janie! Lol I guess that's why I always tend to buy things in bulk amounts when I find them at a good price - drives my husband nuts!

I have the same problem Janie, all my shelves are full... as well as all the wardrobes in my spare rooms lol
Heck, we recently moved from a four bedroom house into a one bedroom apartment. I had to leave three of my bookshelves behind. Now I have some of my books double stacked in the top of the bedroom closet. Even had to leave some of my books behind. Talk about traumatizing.
OMG Cindy - that's terrible! I feel for you, I don't think I could bring myself to do that :(
Didn't have much of a choice. I ended up leaving mostly my college textbooks because they take up the most room. I am in the process of building a digital library. Great storage if you know what I mean :)
Mod
I,m working on it :) - slowly but surely
I had almost forgotten about that. Thanks Chuck!
3:25amEST. Been enjoying GR for the last hour or so. Writing reviews, catching up on everyone, enjoying the posts. Feeling kind of yucky so it's been a good distraction. Had a really great buddy read on The Brothers Karamazov with Holly and Chuck. Made asparagus tempura and fried sweet potato chips with dinner last night. Both were really good, but I think it was just too fatty for me to tolerate. Making chicken stock today so a comfort meal tonight sounds good. I may even try some homemade noodles, Janie!
Have lots of laundry to do today. I will enjoy the time in the kitchen. I'll also have plenty of time to read. Starting 2 new books that look pretty good and finishing up a fantastic cookbook. Looks like a good day! Hope for the same for all my GR compatriots!

Hey, Dalu - Fluff's full name isn't really His Royal Fluffiness, but if you knew him, you'd understand... Our dog, however, has an ostentatious enough name to make up for it: Emperor Frœderich der Groß, Lord of Beasts.The giveaway is now live, here: http://katysozaeva.blogspot.com/2013/...
Everyone feel free to come on over, I'm giving away 8 books to two people, and one person will also receive a $25 gift certificate to either Amazon or Barnes & Noble.
3:57 a.m. EST Just finished the Guardians of the Word series and it. Was. AWESOME! Heh. I have to read the Angeleon series this week. First I need to clear out my e-mail, and then I have another guest post to put up for tomorrow, and another coming for the day after, and I think another later on... O.O It's crazy over on my blog lately. One thing after another. If it ever settles back down to mostly just reviews, I think people will become bored. So... pretty normal day...
Mod
So now I am doing laundry, had a little breakfast and will be getting Kay up for school in about an hour. Then I have a day of reading planned. Good morning GR!
7:21 a.m. EST Probably be going to sleep fairly soon. It's supposed to be rainy most of the day, with thunderstorms for a couple hours this morning, so good sleepin' weather... Just making a start on the re-read of the first book in this series, since it's been so long since I read it, before I go on and read the next two.
10:53 am i'm ready to watch The walking dead!
9:41AM and I'm so glad to have the day off. I need a day of relaxing. Went to dinner with my Dad last night and enjoyed some excellent food and beer. Going to enjoy this dreary cold day. My favorite kind of weather. Terri, I hope you feel better as the day goes on. I'm looking forward to making my own chicken stock this week or next. I've never done it before. I'm making potato leak soup for dinner tonight with cheddar garlic biscuits. I am looking forward to doing some cooking later.
10:12 a.m. Going shopping for the little one today. My, how they grow!
Grrr! Hate when I wake up late on a work day. Got some lunch fixed, took the dog out, fed both cat and dog, and washed dishes. Still have to eat and take a shower. Very little time to read before work. Might have reading withdrawals today or MAYBE I will have some time to read at work tonight :).
1:07 p.m. EST Was dozing when the mail arrived earlier than normal and MY NEW KINDLE IS HERE!! Yay! LOL It's really cool, no problems with the screen, and the cover I ordered for it is great. It's a bit of a hassle to navigate the library because it doesn't give you the option to scroll through it, you have to go one page at a time and enter each page individually, but I usually "search" for book titles anyway. All my NetGalley books are downloaded. So, happy day! I have two physical books to read and then I'll test it out on the 3rd book in the series. I'm just charging it fully right now, as it was maybe a quarter down when it arrived. So, I guess I'm awake! LOL After yesterday it feels so chilly but the promised thunderstorms and rain have not arrived, so I'll be checking the weather map soon to see what's the what there.
Mod
I didn't realize you were in Texas Janie. My sister lives in Texas, close to Corpus.
Time for work :( - Talk to you folks later tonight. Have a wonderful day!
Mod
2:04 p.m. EST I have discovered that when I put this computer into hibernate, it automatically ejects any device I have charging on it, so I have to wait until my Kindle has finished charging before I can put aside my computer. This is very annoying. So I'm just sitting here just wastin' time...
9.10am ugh is it really only Tuesday? I don't know what is wrong with me this week but I seem to be running on low batteries or something :/
7:35am ET. Ready to relax and read.. :)
7:07 PM. At home with my kitties and my super sweet husband. Think we are both tired from work, so pizza is on the dinner menu tonight. Going to break out my Kindle soon and am going to keep reading. :) ready for Friday already. Lol
Mod
Just got home from work and grabbed a bite to eat. Now it's reading time.
3:06AM I love reading this time of night. Just started Water for Elephants. This seems like the soul examining type of book I've been wanting forever, so far.
Michelle, I hate to break it to you, but ... it was still Monday when you posted... at least in the US. LOL5:32 a.m. EST Yeah, I was off-line for way too long. Husband stayed home sick, he's getting some sort of cold. I tried to snap in the afternoon but couldn't so ended up going to sleep about 9 p.m. and sleeping (mostly) until around 4 a.m. Finished the first Angelaeon book and it was a good as I remembered. Once I clear out e-mail I'll read the 2nd. Supposed to be sunny and upper 60s today, but then again the thunderstorms we had last night were supposed to arrive in the morning, so it's possible things have changed since the last time I checked the weather. Still, I'm hoping for some sun today, need the warmth on my back! Good morning, all!
Lol Katy! Well thankfully Tuesday is nearly over and done with here in Aussie!
Ah, Michelle, Tuesday is just beginning in the USA... at least you're hitting Hump Day sooner! LOL6:16 a.m. EST Have had my laptop on too long, I think, as it's starting to heat up a bit. I'll have to turn it off when I'm done here. Just finished with clearing out that huge pile of e-mail from being AFK for 15 hours... *Sigh* Still hoping today will be sunny and warm so I can sit in the sun, but haven't checked out. About to log off and I'll talk to you all later today!

My laptop has been on for weeks, lol! Core Temp will shut it down before it gets to the danger zone: http://www.alcpu.com/CoreTemp/
Lol Katy it's funny because I'm always like 'yeah, you guys are still in Thursday and I'm finishing up Friday' but then it gets to Monday and I'm like 'aw you guys are still in Sunday - no fair!' hehehe
10.28pm sooo sleepy, I should have gone to bed earlier. Not looking forward to getting up for work in the morning :/
Mod
It is 11:13 a.m. here and I'm taking a little bit of a break today from GR and my books. Spending a little time with my daughter before work. Have a great day everyone!
Hey, Chuck, I know once it's in hibernation it's okay; my old one I hardly ever turned off. BUT (and there's a but).... BUT... we have a cockroach problem, and if the computer is left on, and warm, they find ways inside. I think that's why my old laptop finally died, since I'd only had it about 5 years and from the sounds of it those Toshibas should last closer to 7. This one was starting to make that rattle sound I recognized from a little cockroach crawling inside, and I had never felt any heat coming from it before until today, so I don't want to run any risks. I'll be turning it off when I go to bed each morning from now on, just to be safe. I want to keep this thing running for as long as possible.2:37 p.m. EST Have been waking up every couple hours, finally crawled out of bed around 1:30 when the pain in my hips wouldn't let me lay down anymore. I sat outside for about 45 minutes - until I started to feel like I was burning - then came in. I wish I could have lasted longer, because starting tomorrow it'll be cooling down. Lower 63s tomorrow, two days of rain, then 50s for a few days, then 40s for a few days... *sigh* So, this was my last chance for awhile to catch some rays. I might be able to tomorrow if I find a place out of the breeze, since it was just 63 when I was out but it didn't feel bad at all, so... Anyway, enjoying this 2nd book in the series well enough, but there was a thing right at the beginning that set me ranting almost immediately, so ... that might end up counting against the final score for it. Am I out of line here? If you run across people who you consider to be enemies, and they attack you on the way to your honorary dinner and you end up late because of it to find them sitting at the king's left hand, do you... TELL SOMEONE?? Or do you pretend it didn't happen and not say a word? Ummm ... to me it's fairly obvious, but apparently I'm an idiot or something, because the dude pretended nothing had happened and now it's too late. AUGH!!! Man...
Then again, I guess if they'd thrown the antagonists into the dungeon right at the beginning a lot of the tension would have gone out of the plot, but still... *sigh*
3:27amEST. Woke with a nightmare so up for the day. Too scary and realistic. This has been happening a lot lately. Just put the coffee on. Started and rejected a book last night, so chose a new one to start and I have some short stories and a cookbook to finish up. Need a trip to the library. Starting the day in a poor frame of mind, hope it improves. I'm going to start to read now so that should help. Hope your pain is better, Katy. Have a great day everyone.

It's 8am getting ready to take my stepdaughters car into the shop, the dang starter is going, then I will be headed to work.
I am the Practice Manager for an Orthopaedic Surgeon and Physical Therapy Group.
7:35 am. Sitting here getting ready for work. I really don't want to go to work today, and honestly, I am starting to really dislike my job and hate to say it, but the company and people I work with. But, that's another story...Going to eat some breakfast, blow dry my hair, and keep thinking good thoughts. Maybe even listen to my iPod. :) hope very one has a great day.. Miss you guys.
Terri, I'm sorry to hear you started the day poorly. I feel that just throws my whole day into a funk. I hope your whole day isn't a mess and things start picking up for you. Kathryn, I know how you feel about your job. I hate everything about mine as well as the company and people I work with. I will keep hopping you can find something else. Good luck with your day and rest of your week. Almost halfway to the weekend.
7:42AM and I'm checking in with GR while my son eats breakfast. Have to take my wife to the dentist this morning and then I have to go to work at noon. Busy day ahead so I'll be here more this evening.
Mod
It is 12:20pm just popping on to GR while I take a break from the daily grind. Kathryn - sorry you hate your job, I would hate to hear that one of my employees hated their job. That is a terrible thing. My job can be stressful at times, but I do love my job. I hope you find something better soon. No one should be miserable for the majority of their day.
