First things first, what did I get posted this last week?

I'm hoping to have more luck this week with posts and reading, but we can only wait and see! I'm throwing a birthday party for my daughter on Saturday and still have a few things to do for it to be completely ready. I also have a ton of side projects to do for a position that I volunteer for that I just keep putting off! Wish me luck!! In the meantime, I'm off to my book club . . . that sadly, I did not finish the book in time again! VERY disappointing, especially this month since it is a very good book for discussion, particularly with our demographic of participants! I will keep you posted on it if it goes as well as I think it will!
Until next time, I hope you had a great Independence Day if you were in the States!! If not, I hope you had a great weekend! And, here's to a great week for ALL!! :)
Hope you are having a marvelous holiday weekend too. I was able to get lots of writing done, which was my goal. This month will be crazy...can't believe that I am wanting it to be over...lol.
ReplyDeleteI'm hopeful on the Cook Book too! Better stop browsing blogs and do something about it!
ReplyDeleteJ. Kaye . . . Lots of writing must have meant a great weekend for you!! Woohoo!! Things are finally starting to slow down for me. I have a week of vacation at the end of the month and cannot wait for it to get here!!
ReplyDeleteThe Book Chook . . . LOL!! Plus, it would help if I actually emailed you back sooner! I emailed you tonight!! :)
