Chat it up my book Worms!

[Varsha]

That's a new thing I have heard. I guess we all do it here and there...with quotes. :)
And cool.

Good morning Bibliophiles! Today my house will be in chaos. I'm re-arranging so I can move my workspace to the area where my dogs are. They like it better when I'm near and I don't dare let them have the run of the house (trust me!). I'll clean, move furniture, and get set up again. Then I have a couple of reviews to get written and posted. Any takers on helping with the moving or cleaning? *weg*

[♠ TABI⁷ ♠]

Ummm, just do it? I like to clean in short bursts with small breaks in between. And also break up the work into small projects or bites that can get done instead of facing the work as a big whole that just makes me want to give up. :)

Time to make it online-official and say that I hate end of academic year essay deadlines and exams. I have barely enough time to post an annoyed comment about it on the internet, let alone read what I want.

Curse you academia!

I charge 8.00 per hour.

[Sara]

Sitting again :) I have a really bad back, so things are done in spurts. Christa, I'd gladly pay! LOL


Adam - I feel for ya. I'm out of class Apr/May this year, but start back in June with 15 hours. I might become rather grumpy after that because I'll be doing 3 heavy semesters in a row (no break) to finish up the BA. Then . . . helloooooooooo MA program (wish it were now! LOL)

I know exactly what you mean! Finals are next week, but all of my classes have a test this week too! Ridiculous!! You all are going to know the moment school is out for the summer, because I will be about a million times more cheerful

[Rebecca]

I'm on break until September thank goodness.

[Varsha]

I just finished my BA. Phewww.

[Sara]

Yay Varsha! Congratulations :) Is an MA around the corner?

[♠ TABI⁷ ♠]

HAha! I homeschool so I get my work done in about two hours!!! lol ;)

[Varsha]

Thank you Talia and Sara. :) :)
Yup!! An M.A is really right around the corner. *nervous giggle* :D

[Sara]

LOL, I wish mine was! But have another 12 months before it's that close :)

[Sara]

On this day, in 1907, Daphne du Marier was born. She was author of "Rebecca" among others.

[Varsha]

Sara. You have a whole year before you the grueling starts! Be happy man! :D No exams. :P

[Sara]

Varsha, The year will be finishing up a BA, so yep, exams and papers galore LOL

[Varsha]

Hahaha. Lol. :D Have fun. :P :P

Well, guys, the Undertaker and the co-mod of this group will be leaving and going on vacation this Thursday. I'll be gone for about five days, and then I should be back. I'm going to Madeira Beach, which is down by St. Petersburg and Tampa here in Florida. So I doubt that I'll be on the computer when I'm on vacation, lol. ;) So I figured I should give you guys a heads up, so that you all don't think I've disappeared off the face of this earth or something. ;)

Thank you, Tabi! :)

[Christa VG]

Ha! The Amazing head mod is back!

Oh no I am losing one of my minions? I hope you have fun Veronica, the Florida beach is so much fun, as you probably already know.

Has anyone done this yet? If not, I can set one up in a minute :D

[Christa VG]

I can do it

[[deleted user]]

Thanks, Christa! And not to worry, your minion will be back in due time......

[♠ TABI⁷ ♠]

Oh on the topic of minions leaving....I'm going to be on vacation for a week in June....:)

[[deleted user]]

Cool, have fun, Tabi, when that time comes! :)

[♠ TABI⁷ ♠]

Thanks...and I will. ;)

[Haley]

Oh gosh, I haven't even thought about vacation. Imagine all the new posts that will be waiting when I get back. I have a few vacations planned this summer... that'll be interesting :D

[♠ TABI⁷ ♠]

I know! I'm kinda dreading going back on after mine...a week! Gah!!! I'll have like fifty million notifications!!!!
But, my mom is bringing her laptop...so I may be able to snag a few minutes here and there to at least read posts. :)

[Christa VG]

Don't you dare Tabi! Forget about the group and have fun on your vacation, the group will be here when you get back but real life only happened once.

[Sara]

Tabi, we'll try really really really hard not to say anything while you're away ... **crossing my fingers behind my back**

[♠ TABI⁷ ♠]

It's not that...its the million notifications that I'm dreading...lol.
Thanks for the advice Christa, I'll take you up on it. :D

[Christa VG]

Oh that's easy to fix, go to the "Unread" thread button thingy, scroll to the end of the page and click "Mark all as read" Bam! No more red numbers flashing at you.

[♠ TABI⁷ ♠]

Oh...that's sweet!

[Christa VG]

I know right? I love that little button :D

[Tayiba]

Hi everyone!
Sorry for randomly appearing in the middle of the conversation, but being a big fan of Jane Austen, particularly Pride and Prejudice, i saw these vlogs "The Lizzie Bennet Diaries" the other day on youtube and thought of sharing it.

I think they are hilarious. What do you guys think?

[Holly]

Hello everyone! I'm new to the group; what's everyone talking about?

[[deleted user]]

Um...going on vacation, pressing buttons, flashing red numbers...that kind of thing. So that's what we've been talking about, lol. ;)

[Holly]

Lol; ok. Has anyone read The Phantom of the Opera? If anyone has, what did you think of it?

[[deleted user]]

I did, and I found it quite interesting.

[Varsha]

Have a blast Vacation-goers. :D The rest...well. We'll live. *pout*

[♠ TABI⁷ ♠]

Oooooh, I can so rub in my vacation...hehehe. ;)

[Rebecca]

Today and for the next few days, I'm in the Black Hills. Will be going to Deadwood and Mt. Rushmore. :)

[♠ TABI⁷ ♠]

I'm going to the Ozarks and Atlanta...

[Haley]

Rebecca, I love the Black Hills! Mt. Rushmore is incredible (obviously, it's famous for a reason and amazing to see in person), but the Black Hills and Badlands in SD were so much fun. My family stopped a ton of places and did all kinds of rock climbing, and it's beautiful there.

Tabi, the Ozarks like the lake of the Ozarks? My family has a lake house there, so I go three or four times a year and I absolutely love it. Tubing, skiing, driving the boat and waverunners... I've been waiting to go back all spring! We don't get to go until the end of June, though, so I have to keep waiting :P

And I haven't read the Phantom of the Opera, but I own it to-read and I've seen the movie and recently went and saw the musical, which was AMAZING, so I imagine I'll enjoy the book too.

[Varsha]

Wow. This is bad. Like very very bad. Everyone's going for a vacation. Who's gonna be here?? :O :O And all these amazing places. Dang!
