It is a bit chilly. I think I might toss my robe on. I wish I could stay home in my PJ's all day. That would be great!

I hate my robe.I like pajama bottoms and t-shirts.
Lots of room but everything is covered.
Robes, to me, are hard to keep wrapped tight enough
Things I Used To Do Before Good Reads1.Clean my house
2.Spend time with friends(other than on-line friends that is)
3.Garden (my garden was embarressing this year)
4.Paint
5.Meditate (well I tried anyway)
6.Cook dinners (and actually invite people to them)
7.Go for long leisurely walks
8.Decorating projects around the house
I was a regular Martha Stewart,well except without the money,talent,obsessive perfectionism,and obnoxious personality.Good Reads saved me from all that! :)
Hahahah Sherry! Things I used to do before GR:
Read
Have a Social Life
Clean
Work
So true Emma.I'm a little shocked at all the things I've stopped enjoying since GRs,especially my gardening!
Yeah...but I think it's worth it. I wouldn't have met all these amazing people if it wasn't for GR. :) Unfortunately, my interaction with people in my life have steadily declined.
You don't want to go to sleep because you want to stay on GR on night!Sadly, I must go to bed. And hopefully finish The Audacity of Hope. That's another thing I haven't gotten much of since I found GR. Sleep. Night guys!
Things I did before GR:- read more
- go to bed at a decent time (muuuuust sleeeeeep)
- work while I'm at work
I like that one: Work while I'm at work!!!!!
When you went on the computer to look for a job and only did that till you had the goodreads page loaded..... and by now have all the job pages closed..... and only goodreads open.
.....before you've had your morning cup of coffee (and I'm not verbal before the morning cup of coffee), you pop onto the site to update your currently reading list, look at new posts, etc.
Emma, unfortunately it is so true :-)))
(G)Emma, I like the way you haunt this thread. I know you started the conversation and all, but you really are like the patron saint of the GR obsessed. Wha'cha reading this weekend?(You KNOW what I'm reading!)
Haha!!! Dracula, still. LOL, How do you like it by the way?
Haha!!! Dracula, still. LOL, How do you like it by the way?
I like it, haven't had time to read it today. So still in the cave, nothing new (and I don't want to say too much here in case someone hasn't read it). I hope to finish it this weekend, but unfortunately have to clean the house tomorrow. My husband is OCD clean or I would say screw it.
Ah, well, I can't wait to hear what you think when you finish! I hope you finish cleaning fast so you can read more!
You're obsessed if...You check your GR post before your email
Haha, so true. If the browser uploads before my email.
Mine too. I knew I had an addictive personality, I just thought I would be safe on Goodreads.
Really? It seems so innocent at first, "i'm just about books" it says meekly..........
yeah until it takes over your life! Between reading and GR-ing....well, my house isn't clean, the lemon squares are not making themselves, and we won't even talk about the office work that's not done...
You know you're GR obsessed when friends come in from out of town and you log on to GR to see what you've missed during the rest of the day...did I mention the friends are still here?
Haah Iki! I do the exact same thing.....Fiona, get some sleep!
You guys are funny!Iki! I guess you can sneak to your computer when they are in the bathroom or something, right?
Goodnight Fiona!
You could do GR on your cell phone!
I wish my cell still had the internets. But commenting on the number pad would be soo hard! I need a text phone...^^;
Don't know why...I think...but for the lst hour ad a half I have been checking comments of subjects or questions in this group that I hadn't visited yet because they started way before my time here.....so if you see suddely older posts up again...I have been busy.
Hmmm..Fiona, I try not to watch those that are completely in the beginning but I am a curious girl and stupidly are wondering what has ben written since the group started!
When you have the psyhic gift to just know when someone has posted 0 minutes ago. ME!
Hahahah! It's true! I'll refresh the group page and think "okay, someone must've posted by now" and it's true.
I always think in he morning that because of the time difference with America not many people will have posted but then I forget of course that the night came later the day before ...and it's full again.

You know you are addicted to goodreads when the second you put your book down, you log on to update your page status!!
Hi Fiona! How is everyone today in the GR world?Guess I should go eat. And maybe do some sleeping later. Oh and reading. aaaaaaaaahh reading! :)
Hello all! Yes, I am a newbie at this but...wowza! Le sigh. Obsessed I am. Very lovely to meet you all, by the way!(removes top hat, bows deeply)
Hi Book Gobbler!!:)
I just LOVE your name ( I know, gushing, can't help it )
Mod
When you have the second (maybe nearly first) highest comment amount... last time I looked I had the second highest number of posts. Lori is first atm.
I haven't been on a lot these days.I DECLARE MYSELF....
BACK. There. *goes to look through every thread*
You know your obsessed with GR when you aren't online and you start wondering if Jeane heard if she got the job or if Fiona had her teeth pulled yet!
You know when you've not been on a lot but you miss every avatar that you usually see daily.
hahahaha petra, that is funny.....and I do it too....Emma, still busy going through all the threads????? :-) you can take a small break if you want...
