What time is it and what are you doing?
1:48 p.m. EST Couldn't sleep very much, so I'm back up, but at least my nose is less runny and coughing less. It's really chilly and grey today in Georgia - global warming my ASS - and I believe I'll make some tea when I'm done with e-mail and can hold a mug...

Hope you get to feel better soon Katy."I love tea too, When I have some spending money I like to go to this store Teavanna. It is amazing with the different types of tea, and supplies. I am addicted to that store almost as much as book stores, but Teavanna is pricy so I only go a few times a year.
1:12 PM At work tonight. Anxious to get out of here already. I'm off at 9 and that is when the Blues Game starts so I will be rushing home to grab some food, beer and watch the game. Hoping to get a little reading in today.
I have this stuff I find at the Farmer's Market, one part chrysanthemum and one part momordica (lo han quo); it's a lot of sugar, but it's excellent for the health of the throat and lungs, so I try to keep lots of it on hand and drink it as often as possible. I was introduced to it probably 20 years ago in Portland by a lovely woman I knew there and have tried to find it wherever I am.2:14 p.m. EST Time to make some tea and then read!
1:38 p.m. Was really looking forward to a trip to the library today. Oh well. :-\
8:37PM. Sorry I haven't been around in a while guys. I've been busy working on a graphic novel and also doing the cover art for the sequel to
. I just inked two pages of the graphic novel today...I am feeling dizzy. Well, atleast I got it done at a decent hour today. Going to use my remaining energy to get some reading done.
9:41, listening to 30 seconds to mars! not feeling like going out, i'm being my own dj for the night! :)

Ooh I really dig these guys! You introduce me to some really great music, thanks! There are a lot of groups that provide a really good message these days, and that makes me happy. Good music PLUS great message!
10:11 p.m. EST Just woke up from a nap, was having a really crazy dream. One of my "I can fly" dreams among other things... Heh. There was some sort of gathering of people in a huge space, I saw people doing Tarot readings, people partying. It was kind of cool. I love dreams like that but hate waking from them, 'cause I want to go back and live there... Heh. Anyone else with that particular psychosis?

Wow, I really ought to move to Texas! My sister lives there, you live there, and Janie too.

Now time to switch over to The Talisman. Get 100 pages in on that? Doubtful! LOL
My husband and I have both said we want to move to Texas, too. It seems like a cool place to live.11:15 p.m. EST almost done with e-mail and then time to read. Hubby brought me a couple biscuits to nosh on.
11:22 p.m. and although I worked today (on my normal day off), I am not tired. Might even stay up all night reading
. I am really getting into this book now. It is one of those you just don't want to put down.

I remember the first time I picked up The Talisman. It was while I was still dating my first ex-husband, and we were visiting some friend of his. I had no real interest in their conversation, so I grabbed a nearby paperback - The Talisman. While I was reading it, everything around me just... went away. When Michael told me it was time to go, it was like the world snapped back into place and a resounding silence was left where that amazing world had surrounded me. It took me a few years to find my own copy, but I did eventually, and when I finally had the chance to read it through, it was just as amazing as I remembered.
I'm around 99% certain that I have read this book previously Katy. It is very familiar. And good!
I have the sequel, but always meant to re-read it first, so haven't read Black House yet.
10:59 PM. Just got back from going to dinner with my love. The restaurant isn't far so we walked, and the weather is cool so it made walking more enjoyable. About to crochet while we watch a movie.
Janie-Are you free or have some time this coming Saturday? Wanna go to the bookstore and have coffee!?! :)

I had forgotten to put Black House on my to-read list. Thanks for the reminder!

This sounds so romantic Kathryn.

Kathryn this next Saturday evening would work like around 6? or is that too late?
2:18 a.m. EST Hubby came home tired and went straight to bed. He'll have to wake up in a couple hours to put the dog out, though. He suggests lunch today so we can have a Cinco de Mayo margarita. Red Lobster or Outback? Not a Mexican place; they'll be packed with drunken frat boys! We'll see. Can't really afford it, but *shrug* Not like we really have the money to pay all the bills anyway, right? Might as well have a nice lunch to try to get our strength back up after being sick all week.
6:28 a.m. and my plan for sitting up all night and reading didn't exactly work out as planned. Got really sleepy about an hour after I made that comment. Just woke up and it's quiet around here so I'm reading more of The Talisman.
Mod
Cindy, I was awake till 3:00AM but I was playing a game and not reading. I got hooked into it. I would love to get 200 pages read today, whether it be Rot and Ruin or The Talisman.
11:11 AM The Hip Hop Abs commercial is on. Tilt, Tuck, and Tighten lol! I'm thinking of my next read. Hmmmm. I might want to crack open a book you guys have been talking about, so I may either start The Talisman or Rot and Ruin. Then again, my might read something else, (I have quite a few unread books on my Nook.) Ugh, I feel like I looking at a menu with too many options!
Mod
Tee and Janie, I can relate to you both so much! I have so many books on my Kindle app and in my to-read list on here that I'll never get them read in a lifetime. Even if I never add another one to the list.

A little frustrating but funny at the same time.

Yes it is, it is book 2 of 3 in the Millennium series.The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest is the third book. I liked them all and would defiantly recommend them.
11:31AM At work, day 4 of 6. Almost to my off day, can't wait. Hoping to get some reading in if I can. Not really in the mood to do much of anything today. Looking forward to getting home, cooking dinner, and trying to catch up on some recorded tv.
12:36 p.m. and I got a late start on my buddy read this month because I was still waiting for the book to come in at the library. Started it a couple of days ago. Would like to get to page 200 at least before the day is out but I have a lot of running to do. We'll see what happens.
Err!!! Haven't been on Facebook for a long time and they have changed it so much I can't figure out how to search for you guys and send a friend request. If you are my friend on GR's and would like to be my FB friend also, please send me a request. I will figure it out eventually but who knows when I'll have the time.
Hey, Cindy; at the very top type in the name of the person for whom you're searching. For instance, to find me, type in Katy Sozaeva.1:53 p.m. EST Just back from a lovely lunch at Outback. I'm comfortably full and slightly tipsy from a margarita down under style (extra shots of Cointreau and Sauza Gold). Rib-eye steak, yum yum, with raw horseradish really helped my nose! Hopefully the influx of protein will help me finish with this cold presto. Just clearing out the e-mail that came in so far today and then I'll read and digest for awhile, then take a nap. It's a good day for it, grey and rainy.
I tried that and it keeps defaulting to a search of my current friends. I'm sure I'm just missing something here but I hate when they change things up constantly on FB.
Well, I finally figured out that I can get around it by opening another tab and just doing a google search for the name of the person.
1:21 p.m. Watching basketball.....go OKC!!!!!
Cindy wrote: "I tried that and it keeps defaulting to a search of my current friends. I'm sure I'm just missing something here but I hate when they change things up constantly on FB."That's crazy! When I search like that it brings up my friends FIRST but then also whomever else I'm looking for. Anyway, glad you figured it out.
Holly, enjoy the game!
3:20 p.m. and I have a lot of running to do today. Won't be back until 9:30 or so. Plan to read for at least a couple of hours when I get home. Have a great day everyone!
I'ts 4:16 EST....and i'm whiling away my time online. I'm trying to wean myself from the Social Network sites, but am drawn to the chatter. I'm reading a good book...Random Violence by Jassy Mackenzie...I love good Detective novels, set outside the USA...This one's set in South Africa....so far, so great. Hope everyone is having a good day...;-}
Mod
Cindy what do I put in to request you on FB?
7:52.. Just finished dinner with the family and now spending a little time on GR
6:57 p.m. Caught up on some reading, which makes me very happy. Now, if only I could do that with my studying/writing.....
1:12 a.m. and I can't hold up any longer tonight. Doubt if I'll get much reading in tomorrow because it is a very busy day, but we'll see. Goodnight everyone.
2.45pm at work and finding it's a good distraction! My brother and his partner had their baby last Thursday - things didn't go very smoothly so its been a bit stressful and emotional for everyone. It's nice to have other things to think about for a while. After work I'm going to go and visit them to take them their washing and some groceries so not sure what time I'll get home. It would be nice to get some reading done tonight as I haven't read anything at all since I finished The Dead Zone over a week ago :(
1:25 a.m. EST Had a lovely nap and more weird dreams, and then finished the book I was reading. Excellent! Considering fitting in another novella before I take another nap and then start editing in the morning, since I have two novellas to read before I can finish the Mercury series by Robert Kroese. I have three novellas to edit this week, so it'll be busy!

Cindy routers can be so troublesome sometimes. I think we have had 3 now lol. But our wireless internet company had to switch our tower because we were having many many troubles. Out where we live it is hard to get cable or DSL. We tried a company but they were not doing much for upgrade. So we went back to wireless and now that they switched our tower our service has been way better.
Kathryn I love when you are happy! We still need to get together one of these days. I guess we are just gonna have to plan a day in the future and meet at the UBS in Denton. It would be a lot of fun! Dontcha think?
