Michael wrote: "Welcome back Amber. You have missed so much. Glad to see you seem to have the pesky bug squashed. :)"Thanks Michael. When I first got back on here this morning and saw all my notifications and the new threads that have popped up since I was last here, I couldn't believe it lol
And I have to say, I didn't realise how often I used GR, or how much I relied on it, until I couldn't access it anymore...Quite an eye opener! :)
Thanks Mish :)Michael, I can completely understand where you're coming from :) I'm actually contemplating getting a new phone, one where I can access GR and facebook, etc, on it. The mobile I have right now doesn't have internet capabilities, which is bad enough, but now the letter 'A' doesn't work. So when I've sent someone a text I get a confused message back saying, in essence, 'WTF'? lol
Definitely time for a new phone! :)

Don't you love it when an item you aren't happy with (for reasons that don't really justify buying a new item) then develops a problem that DOES justify buying a new item!!! Not so good when it's the other way around - when something you love and don't want to
replace dies!
And I am also a little bit addicted to Goodreads!! Don't know how I coped without it, or how you managed for about 4 months, Amber! Did you keep track manually of what you were reading?

lol yeah, I'm sort of half and half with my phone. It's been good for a few years - apart from no internet access! - but now that letters are starting to 'vanish' it's very frustrating. Especially when the letter that's going is one of the most commonly used!
I didn't make a list of books read or anything - I'm going to have to sort through my newest bookshelves and get names and titles lol and because I couldn't get on here to do anything, I pretty much just read and read and read... So when I've made my list there will be a fairly large update on my Read list :)
I'm so glad to be back on here now, though, that everyone will be sick of seeing my name pop up VERY quickly :)

Amber wrote: "Hi Margaret! :) I feel like a kid at Christmas - I'm so excited to be back on here lol"You never know what topic is going to pop up, do you? :)
So great to have you back Amber :)Brief update on the party [which was packed - I DO NOT know how my sister does it and make it look effortless]. Apart from the wonderful feeling of introducing Robbie - 'Hi, have you met my husband Robbie yet?' - which gave me a huge buzz it was just lovely catching up with everyone. The food was delicious, the company and conversation fantastic and yes, I got many, many compliments on my eyelashes - I even had a few people say they didn't realise how long my lashes were but, of course, I had to 'fess up to cosmetic enhancement :)
Glad it all went well Tracey, and you had a lovely time. All's well that ends well, as they say:)
Thanks to everyone for all your kind welcomes :)And I'm actually now listed as a Goodreads Author, with a blog on here and everything... It's actually very exciting :)

Thanks Michael and Brenda :) I'm also doing an author interview for someone's blog, and my book's been getting some awesome reviews on here...basically, I'm very very VERY happy to be back :) lol

Thank you :) I keep saying it, but it's very exciting. And another repetition: I've really missed Goodreads!
I don't know either, Brenda. It was very frustrating, and LOTS of back-and-forth emailing with GR Support...it was crazy.

So glad it's fixed now, and I really hope it doesn't happen again!!!

lol me too!
Congrats on the book Amber - I'll have to check it out.I hate this time of the year - car rego's due, plus hugely out of control electricity bill and the two kittens are due now for their needles, plus desexing and microchipping etc. It's so much fun watching my bank balance dwindle down to nothing :)

Thank you Tracey! Very much appreciated :)
And I know how you feel - last year I had just finished paying the car off in time to start Christmas shopping; then - a week before Christmas - had to take it to the mechanic. Early January, it was back at the mechanic. $800 later (on top of all the other usual expenses)...it's such a joy spending money I don't have! lol
Yes...money wasting makes me happy too. Not matter how much I make I am fortunate enough to know there will always be someone waiting to relieve me of it.
I've come to the conclusion that, no matter how much I like money, it doesn't like me because it's always leaving me as fast as it can :(

I have been reading Easter Bunny books to preschoolers all week, but Jesus is of course the real meaning of Easter. Is that what you meant?

It's raining in Sydney. Hooray! I know it's maybe not the best for holiday makers but it's great for our poor dry garden!

Its definitely cooled down, down here in Tas. Yesterday we had 29 degrees & tonight Im seriously thinking about switching the heater on. I think Mother Nature may have gone a little mad :PHappy Easter everyone & I hope Easter Bunny is very generous to you all. With either chocolate or books :)
Happy Easter Everyone. As I am Greek Orthodox we do not celebrate Easter this year until May. Try explaining that to an 8 year old!!!! So we end up celebrating two Easters...when they don't coincide. On the up side it's my birthday tomorrow so we'll be celebrating anyway. Although I'm not happy turning 45, it'll put me in a totally different age bracket now when I do surveys!!!
