What time is it and what are you doing?
7:02PM Had a great workout, it was cardio recovery. Now I am all warm and weak LOL. Majorly relaxed. I am reading more of Whispers. It is a fantastic read.
9:18 p.m. and exhausted. Actually made it to work today on just a few hours sleep. It should only take my body a few days to make the adjustment from second to first. Attempting to read a little and go to bed. That should just about get me where I want to be. "Normal hours" - sleep at night and work during the day.
9:42 p.m. Busy day today..glad to be relaxing right now. Listening to the rain and enjoying the nice, cool breeze. I think I just heard thunder....
10:46 PM. Laying in bed to read for a bit. Or at least until The Boy asks me to turn off the light. Lol. Going to try to finish UtD by Saturday morning. Goodnight, GR! Gizmo better come snuggle with me!
2:52 a.m. EST I have gobs of reading to do, didn't think that the two latest Vine books were both at the end of a series and now I have lots of reading to do to have those done in time... O.o So ... reading machine, that's me... I sure hope these series are good so I didn't just spend a bunch of money for nothing, but if they really suck I can always ask for my money back...
8:57 AM. Just finished eating a bowl of Cheerios for breakfast, and now I am going to read and get closer to finishing Under the Dome. Hoping it rains today, too. Also, my sweet boy doesn't have patients this weekend, so we get to spend the weekend together. Happy Friday!
9:46AM Hubby let me sleep this Am while Kay got ready for school. So that was a blessing. Now I am enjoying a cup o coffee and reading Whispers. This book is awesome. I am really enjoying it.
11:32 AM. Taking a pause for the cause. Going to do some chores, workout early, then read until Mark gets home. Hopefully this means I will have a few hours if quiet time this afternoon to read before he gets home.
11:47AM Now I opened up NOS4A2. Wow is all I can say. I hope it stays this active and exciting. Sorry Michelle and Cindy for not getting started sooner.
2:15 p.m. EST Just finished my 2nd book of the day, but this third one isn't going to be finished today, 'cause this tome is over 600 pages... O.O Anyway, reading like a demon to try to finish these last two required Amazon books (they moved everything prior to January into an 'optional review' file), but they're both at the ends of series, so before I can read that final book I have to read the 6 books preceding it in the series... So, off I go...
1:36PM Wow NOS4A2 is awesome. I am loving it. I really did enjoy Heart Shaped Box, so this should not be surprising to me. He is an excellent author like his Dad.
Holly I always enjoyed the Library, one of my fonder memories or growing up. Now I just buy buy buy. LOL
Katy good luck with all the reading you have to do. At least it is a great experience.

Lol Janie. I have no idea when I'll be able to buy again for awhile, so the library is the next best thing!!
1:45 PM. Did some chores, got a killer workout completed, took a shower, ate lunch, and now I have a date with Under the Dome. :)
2:52 p.m. EST I had contacted them asking how they expected any of us to do this and the idiots misunderstood what I was asking and removed all the books from my review file! GAH!! I still have to freakin' read and review them, but now they won't count... *sigh*
LOL Holly I totally understand that. I go into withdrawals if I don't get to the UBS at least once a week whether I buy or not. I am convinced it is a sickness. LOL
It is 552pm and I am looking at the online menu of the place we are going for dinner because I can never decide what I want. If you want to help me pick take a look...Dinner - Scroll past the damn wine list... http://www.cocobluerestaurant.com/ima...
Dessert - If there is room after dinner...

Lee, the sea bass (which I love) or the salmon! It all sounds delicious, so I can see why you were having a hard time choosing. :)
5:37PM Just had dinner, we had hamburgers and some baked seasoned fries. Yummy! Cleaned up the kitchen, read some more NOS4A2, now ready to switch back to Whispers. Gonna be working out in about an hour I think, then I will jump back on here and read some more.
It is a lot to choose from Lee, but I would go with Kathryn and go with the salmon or the bass. I love fish though. I love most seafood I think.

7:16 PM. I went to store while Mark took a nap and got us a frozen pizza for dinner. I even snuck off to the bookstore, hehe....now, while the pizza is in the oven, I am going to get back to Under the Dome. I only have about 160 pages left!
7:38PM sitting outside on the balcony grilling some steaks. Making a special birthday dinner for my wife. She deserves more but got to make due with what we have. She is still excited. Enjoying the weather and drinking a beer. Very relaxing, going to pull up my Kindle app and try to read in between flipping the steaks.
10:30 p.m. And I haven't read any at all today since I am still adjusting to my new glasses. I plan to get up early in the morning and make coffee and read. Almost have my new sleeping pattern down after the shift change so I plan on going to bed soon. Hope everyone has a great night.
Hey, Chris - you can come grill steaks for ME anytime! LOL That sounds really good... mmmm ... steak....12:49 a.m. EST Finally crashed after staying up all night finishing The Russian Donation and then all day to read the first two books in the Codename: Chandler series by J.A. Konrath. Feel much better now... LOL
2:25 AM. Just finished Under the Dome. Must sleep now because we have to be somewhere at 9:00 AM. Whoops!!
4:37 a.m. EST Just taking a quick break from reading to check for freebies on my wishlist today, and spent a bit of time catching up on Facebook, talking to some people, etc. Will be back to reading soon!
10:34AM Well Good Morning to all my GR friends. I trust everyone had a good nights rest, well besides Kathryn apparently UTD held her captive well past her bedtime! Hehe (Glad you finished Kathryn). I am sitting here in the library, about to get a cup of tea and enjoy a quiet morning. Kay had to march in a parade today. Derek, my son still asleep. Hub is at work. Gonna dig into NOS4A2 this morning. I have really been enjoying my library now since hub put the light fixture in. YAY. But now he says it is lonely in the den. *sigh* LOL
Chris Happy Birthday to your wife!
Chris Happy Birthday to your wife!
10:50AM and we are rushing around to get ready. Busy day today, and I'm exhausted just honking about it. Katy, the steaks were wonderful. Happened to catch a great sale on them at the store and could pass them up. I love to cook and grill.
Kathryn, congratulations on finishing UTD, it is a huge task, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Hope everyone has a great weekend.
1:00 p.m. And things never seem to work out the way you want them to. I had planned on getting up early this morning so I could have a couple of hours undisturbed reading time. Wrong! I slept in until 9:30 and had to go and junk a car. Then my daughter had to stop at the store on the way home, so I just now got back. Have to be at granddaughter's birthday party in an hour, which I wouldn't miss for anything. Have to be somewhere else at 4:30, so reading will wait until tonight I guess. It's really OK. Just going with the flow today and grateful to be sucking free air another day.
Nothing ever goes as planned, Cindy, so says the sage Dennis DeYoung... Link here. Hope things slow down for you!1:37 p.m. EST Sat outside for awhile earlier, and now trying to use my laptop with a cat in the way... So helpful... Almost through e-mail and then back to the tome!
I'll get caught up Katy. Nothing but a thing as they say. :)
1:30PM I am actually waiting on the mail this fine afternoon, because I suspect there may a book or maybe 2 deposited in my mailbox! We ordered 6 from Amazon, the first of them having arrived yesterday. I love anticipating the arrival of new books! Makes me excited and happy!
Cindy sorry your day is rushed today. I think when we are busy it is just God's way of saying, "You are alive, this is life, anjoy it!"

23:40 GMT and I am trying desperately to finish my book before I go to bed even though my eyelids are drooping. Only 50 pages to go and I want to find out who the murderer is in Plum Pudding Murder !!!
Lucy I know how you feel. I have done that myself because I wanted to finish now. I usually pay for it the next day though. LOL
I did it :) Now I can go to bed hehe, and wake up bright eyed and busy tailed to start A Game of Thrones :) And it's only 00:25 too :D
7:33PM Ok, busy day, lack of sleep, and Damn Auto correct are keeping my fingers from getting out what I want to say. So glad to be home for the day. I'm beat. I am so glad that I was able to give you guys a good laugh. I must admit that I had to chuckle when I saw my goof. Hope every one has a great evening.
8:36PM Had a great work out, just got out of the shower. Now enjoying some coffee, and gonna settle back in to whispers if I ever get off GR. LOL
Janie, any day a book arrives in the mail is a great day! Lucy, my husband has been watching The Game of Thrones on NetFlix. I actually have the book, so I suppose I'll have to try to read it before too much time elapses.
11:56 p.m. EST Not feeling too well tonight, but I fixed some Hamburger Helper and ate and hopefully that will help. Or it might make things worse. I hope it doesn't make things worse.
My computer wants to restart in 5 minutes, so I better close everything up and let it... *sigh*
11:02PM totally engrossed in Whispers right now. I can see why I liked this book so much the first time I read. I hate when a lot of time has lapsed and I don't remember a thing about a book I read. I guess that is why I tend to do rereads. LOL
12:02 a.m. And I have made a little progress with my Joe Hill read. Gonna put that one down and try to work on The Talisman for a bit. Had a great time at granddaughter's birthday party today. Will probably read for another hour or so and then call it a night.
Janie, I can't remember much about a book even right after I read it; my memory is SOO bad. But on the other hand I can re-read a mystery novel and be just as surprised by the denouement the 2nd time, so *shrug* There are advantages...1:17 a.m. EST Just finished reading a fun little short story that one of the authors with whom I wrote featuring all of those of us who support him - beta readers, editors, cheerleaders. It was a real hoot. I was an evil witch who turned another guy into a zombie! MAUAHAHA! Loved it... LOL Almost through with my e-mail and then need to finish this tome...
12:30AM I am gonna try and reach 250 pages for today. Been reading Whispers for the past few hours, can't seem to let go of it for anything. This book has a hold on me for sure. Makes me wanna read all the Koontz books I own right now. LOL
