AROUND THE BLOGOSPHERE:

• Kristen over at We Be Reading has compiled a Book Celebration Calendar!  It is a great little list of book-related events that are up and coming! 
• Pam over at Bookalicious came across this very entertaining, but morbid bookcase . . . one that serves a purpose in both your life and death!!  For some reason, I find it rather cool!! 

FINAL THOUGHTS:  My hubby has needed the computer this last week to study and work on projects for work.  Needless to say, my projects get to go on the side burner!!  :(  I'm going to be working on getting more access to it this week to actually get some things posted, because I actually have quite a bit!  In the meantime, I will be working on taxes in the hopes to get a little bit of refund to go towards another computer!  One computer with wireless access is just not enough anymore!!

Hope you enjoy the final week of the Olympics!
