9:45 A.M Popping in on GR and getting ready for Good Friday service

It's 10:53 a.m. and I have to work on Good Friday *sigh*. It's OK, I don't really mind that much, but I do want to get started on Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Also, would like to finish Before I Fall today. We'll see.
1:34 p.m. EST Oh, I'm so TIRED today... I should see if it's warm enough to sit outside for awhile, but need to put the dog out soon and then wake up hubby. Just up from a nap myself, although it was interrupted and too short...
It's 1:37 p.m. and I'm off to work now. Should be a slow day. Many people are off today for the holiday. It's FRIDAY! Yea!
2:05 p.m. EST Time to put the dog out. My stepmom is trying to save my soul and stop me supporting perverts on Facebook. *sigh* I'm gonna need more Tums...
Cindy I know how you feel. It is 1:12 PM and I'm at work. Working the closing shift so I have quite a bit ahead of me. Haven't been around GR for a few days so I'm sorry if I missed any big posts. Hope everyone has a great day.
7.10pm GMTChilling with the bf watching Masterchef :) x

10:18 PM EST Just up from a nap. Very close to finished downloading all the music I had accumulated over the past year! I have three Dropkick Murphys' albums and then Black Sabbath. Wow. At this point (before those final few) I have 95.4GB of music... So it looks like I'll have room on the device to add in a movie or two. I'll probably put on Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny 'cause i just love that movie! LOL Okay, I also have a book to finish before tomorrow night... ACK! off I go!
9:57am just put hair dye on an waiting for it to develop to wash it off. Spent nearly £15 on two of them to get home and realize it's semi-permanent -_-!!meh, when I've washed this off I'll probably go to the RSPCA and cheer me up with animals. Then I'll read :)
Oh, Jordan, what colour? I used to frequently colour my hair, but haven't for a long time. I think the last time was when I bleached it in... umm, 2007 I think. It was about an inch long at the time, but I haven't cut it since (just a couple trims) so now it's to my waist. I can't imagine how much dye I would need to do the trick now! LOL8:08 a.m. EST GAH, I really need to go to bed... LOL Just finished the book for the final blog tour book tomorrow and set up the post. Once it's live, I'll post the review elsewhere. I have the 3rd Lovecraft Middle School book, so that'll be next up! But if I start that now, I will just stay up, so I'll likely be sleeping soon. I hope.
7:48AM I must have slept pretty good. I'm feeling great and awake this morning and looking forward to really getting into some books this weekend. I hope everyone has a great day!
Katy, It's called Chili Chocolate, so it's brown with red tones in natural sunlight. It's genuinely a really nice colour so hopefully it'll last a while. Mines not really the length, my hair is ridiculously thick but I am trying to grow it longer :D
Mod
That sounds lovely, Jordan!3:12 p.m. EST Woke up, read a book, posted a review... now I'll start another book, since I have time. It's a lovely day, so I'll probably go sit outside for awhile longer once hubby is off to work; I already spent about a half hour outside earlier.
6:20 p.m. Relaxing a bit before I have to start getting things ready for tomorrow. Looking forward to spending the holiday with family.Happy Easter everyone! :-)
9:29 p.m. EST GAH... had plenty of sun today, but not much rest. I'm tired but I simply cannot sleep. Okay, well, might as well catch up on the reading I missed this week with the huge music collection rush... LOL Monday it's back to editing and I'm scheduled solid for the next two months.
10:54PM and I'm enjoying one of the many fun parts of being a parent. My wife and I are filling my son's Easter Basket and hiding plastic eggs all over the place for him to find tomorrow. I love playing Santa and the Easter bunny. Next going to eat/naw on the carrot sticks he left out for the Easter bunny and off to bed. Might start a new book tonight, or I just might take another night off. For those who take part in Easter, Happy Easter. For everyone else happy Sunday.
That's awesome Chris! Don't eat too many carrots now. You might turn into a bunny :)
1:56 a.m. EST I believe I'll read the 2nd book in the Celestial Blues series. I considered re-reading the first one over, but since I read it just 6 months ago, I think I'll be able to keep track of it okay...
Cindy wrote: "Oh Katy, I am getting fed up with the series right now. It seems like the first or second book are always the best and then it goes downhill from there. Exception, The Giver series. I liked the las..."I can understand that. The first book in this one was really exceptional, so I'm hoping it continues! We'll see :-) Writing a standalone novel seems to be out of favor these days.
Sorry, getting tired. Not trying to go off on a tangent. I'm just overwhelming myself by my demands I'm placing on myself to read. I need to back off and actually have fun. Don't understand what's gotten into me.
Hey, don't worry about it. We all put weird demands upon ourselves sometimes. 2:24 a.m. EST Just about ready to go back to reading. Considering a beer... hey, why not? Not like I have to do anything tomorrow!
Mod
It's 1:18 p.m. and we didn't make it to church because we both sat up too late. Oh well. Having a pretty productive day nonetheless. Got a lot of housecleaning done and some reading. Have time sat aside for family this evening. Hope everyone is having a great Easter!
6:42pm just got back from my aunties and seeing my cousins now making poached egg and toasties for me, mum and my sister
5:51 p.m. EST Went to bed late this morning and slept until the early afternoon, and then we went to Outback for lunch. Mmmm. Will do some reading this afternoon. First I need to clear out all this e-mail!
7:00 PM. EST. Just got home from having a wonderful Easter day w/ my family..church and dinner. Now I am on GR, reading, and waiting for 2 of my favorite TV shows to start - Real Housewives of Atlanta Finale and Game of Thrones. Game of Thrones will be on at 9,10, & 11. Yes
6:06PM Trying to get my virtual bookshelves straight.
7:22pm ET. Chilling and waiting for The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones.
9:13 p.m. EST Just hopped on-line to do some research about this drug being talked about in this book, and that is some truly disturbing stuff... *shudder* It's desomorphine, a synthetic drug created from things like gasoline, lighter fluid, industrial cleaner, iodine, and lots of codeine. It literally addicts you instantly, and causes your flesh to rot off the bones, killing you from the inside out. If you want to see some really disturbing images, do a Google image search for "krokodil" or "desomorphine," but I'll warn you... things like exposed bones are likely to cause serious distress and result in the need for brain bleach *shudders* That fact that people are so desperate for any sort of escape that they would do this sort of thing to themselves just freaks me out, and even worse are the people who make and sell this stuff, knowing what it will do to people, and not even caring! OMG! Nasty.On the plus side, I also looked up what a Duetto looks like (an Italian classic car), and those are some nice machines...
Well, need to go back and finish this book, now that I've done my research!
Just got home and put little man to bed. It was a great Easter with the family and we all had a great time. Looking forward to unwinding tonight with my wife. We need to relax tonight after all the excitement.
Mod
We had a great Easter with family. I hope everyone else did too.
It's 10:50 p.m. and we just got home a few minutes ago. Had a pretty productive day, but I have LOTS of running to do before work tomorrow. I may not be on GR's at all during the day. Hope everyone had a fantastic Easter! Gonna read for an hour or so and then I need to get some shut eye.

THAT's some spooky sh.t for real!
No doubt, Chuck. As one of the characters said, making illegal drugs more expensive has only made more desperate addicts. It's an unfortunate fact that things like opium are much less harmful than this synthetic stuff that is mixed with paint thinner and household cleansers. I was asking my husband what sort of brain-dead maniacs would even come up with that sort of thing, you know? GAH!12:47 a.m. Just finished that book. I start an editing project today so I'll probably try to sleep a bit soon. If I even can with those messed-up images going through me head! Yuck.
I think unless you've been in hardcore withdrawal it's very hard to understand how someone could resort to that.
Chuck wrote: "I think unless you've been in hardcore withdrawal it's very hard to understand how someone could resort to that."Oh, I can relate. Due to my chronic pain I'm on morphine, and I've brushed the edge of withdrawal a couple times when I've overslept. I definitely would NOT want to go through it, that's for sure. But this krokodil stuff... seriously, what sort of inducement would anyone have to try it if they had any notion of what happened? I had never heard of this thing, and I'm sure there are many others who haven't. I think the best way to scare people away from it would just be to show those pictures of people with the bones of their arms and legs exposed where their skin has rotted off...
1:43 a.m. EST Okay, it's time for me to take a nap. I'll pop in a time or two tomorrow, but once I've cleared out the initial burst of e-mail, tomorrow is for editing.
5:13am. Been off GR for a few days, head just not right. I also have pain issues, only rarely have to turn to morphine. I have gone through withdrawal, though, many years ago, and it's not pretty. Reading 3 good books, all vying for my attention. Today is Opening Day for the Reds which is a major holiday in the city. Big parade, lots of people take off work, great feeling in the city. Glad baseball season is finally here. GO REDS!!!
10:23am finished my jigsaw I got for Easter and was bummed to discover it was missing a piece!:( poor Rafiki had no face
6:45 a.m. EST Was really hoping to sleep longer than this, but hopefully will be able to go to sleep again soon. I totally thought I had refills on my inhaler but I don't and I"m completely OUT and I don't know if my doctor's office will even be OPEN today and they require 24 hours to refill a prescription... GAH! Bad. My lungs have been clogged up with this humid weather and I don't know if I can go a day without my inhaler... This sucks. So, better to sleep if I can...
