8:25 p.m. and I had a pretty good Mother's Day. My son came over to visit and I got rid of some furniture because I am getting a new couch and kitchen table tomorrow. Made me happy to give it to someone who had absolutely no furniture. Reading? Well, that's another story. Been so busy all weekend that I've probably read a total of maybe 30 pages. Gonna try to read for a couple of hours tonight. Told Jeff I really needed some "me" time. He is so sweet and understanding! Hope everyone had a great Mother's Day.

MEAT, FINALLY! Glad you got some food Katy.
MEAT, FINALLY! Glad you got some food Katy.

11:24 p.m. EST Was going to edit but am not feeling so well, so I think I'll e-mail the author and tell her I'll do it later this week and just rest tonight and start my editing on Scott Rhine's 3rd Jezebel novel tomorrow, do the 2nd pass later next week. Just my stomach not used to real food, I imagine... LOL

You probably did get your stomach a little upset if you ate red meat after a long stretch without. Feel better soon Katy.

120 pages tonight. I don't remember the last time I was able to sit undisturbed and get this much reading in. Now I'm tired and will most likely go to bed. If, I don't start on NOS4A2. Have a buddy read starting tomorrow on the Joe Hill book.

Cool. I like it a lot. But be prepared for a long, I mean a LONG setup.


3:44 p.m. EST Hmm, I've never really kept track of how many pages I read, but I started this book about 3 or 4 yesterday afternoon and read 220 pages over the course of the night. About ready for a nap. Listened to all the music on my music player dated 1970, had several hours worth. Have 1988 playing now... LOL

10:19AM Had wonderful Mother's Day yesterday! Had my daughter here till about 12:30AM LOL Aeverie stayed. He is still sleeping. We took a trip to the playground, had cake after that. I did not read much yesterday. Oh well. Gonna try and read today, if Aeverie will let me.
Hope you feel better soon Victor. But hey at least you get to read huh?

Victor, I hope you feel better!

I feel really guilty; my husband forgot to call his mom yesterday ... I should have reminded him, but it slipped my mind :-(
1:03 p.m. EST just finishing my e-mail and then it's time for editing. Actually read most of the book I started late yesterday! Just enough left to make it through today and I'll be taking a fresh one to the doctor's office tomorrow afternoon.

9:15PM Hubby went to bed and so has Aeverie. So now it is really quiet and great reading time. Trying to get to at least pg 50 in Nexus, but wow it is a little confusing to me. Once I get there I will go back to The Silence of the Lambs. Got 2 of my trees planted, both Crape Myrtles. We will plant the hydrangea and the hummingbird vine in a couple of days.
12:30 a.m. and I came home from work tonight to a clean house! What a surprise. My honey usually does the dishes and makes the bed only. I really need to catch up on my reading because I have been terribly busy for a week now. This really helps. I also discovered a book that I had somehow marked as read, but I just started it tonight. Hope you feel better soon Victor.

That's happened to me a few times.

Hot tea?
Hot tea?

4:23 a.m. EST Time to try to sleep again...
7:49am Kay in school, Aeverie watching movies. Hubby is at work, and my oldest son is still sleeping. I am here on GR enjoying some honey cinnamon chai tea. And will be reading here in just a bit.

10:41AM Watched a movie with Aeverie, now he is on his own LOL. Gonna read some more now of The Silence of the Lambs. Would love to finish it today it is only like 160 pages left. Question is will Aeverie let me?
Kathryn it is a gorgeous day out today!

2:00 p.m. and I finished Celebrations: Rituals of Peace and Prayer today. Read a little in The Talisman and NOS4A2. Must go to work now, but the good news - I was told yesterday that I'm next in line for day shift. Yes!

Heartfelt congratulations on your beautiful new daughter, Chris! Hope you're not planning on sleeping much any time soon...

Sleep? What is this sleep thing? It isn't bad, she is a really good sleeper and with my wife and I working together we can take a nap if one of us needs it. My son has been a big help.
Slowly getting a little reading in here and there. Need to try to get some writing done. I still have a review that I need to write. Hope everyone is doing well.
2:04PM Sitting here hoping little one nods off. He does not know what he wants to do today. He got up at 6:30AM with me today and he acts tired but he is still going. He is watching Open Season 3 right now. Hope he settles in!
Cindy that would be awesome if you get on days! YAY for you.

Sitting at my mums after turning up here (after a 3hr train journey ;) ) to surprise her for her birthday. Going to bed soon, I'm shattered!!

*munches on chocolates*


Extremely stressed and annoyed tonight and can't seem to pinpoint the reason. I'm behind on my reading, but it shouldn't be a stressful experience. So what if I'm a little slow right? Ahhhh!
9:54AM Kay stayed home from school sick today. At least that is what she told me. Head ache and tummy ache. Hmmm maybe it is more like staying awake too long last night? We were on Google chat with my Sister and niece it is a great way to keep in touch. We had a lot of fun. Wanna read a bit more today than I did yesterday. Good Morning GR friends!

1:34 p.m. and have to leave for work in 30 minutes. Once again, been running all day. Story of my life I suppose. Will see if I can get at least 20 or so pages of NOS4A2 in before I leave. Tomorrow - promise to myself. NOTHING but reading in the morning.
