  • My grandma had another stroke late Saturday so now I'm just waiting for THE call.

    I did finish Moonlight Masquerade by Ruth Axtell and The Road to Grace and A Step of Faith by Richard Paul Evans.  You can read a lot when you can't sleep.

    I bought two dresses, gym clothes, and work pants.  Didn't get much reading in.  Dealing with family drama that has spilled into today.

  • I helped my nephew with his first time bowling yesterday.  I'm not sure how his kindergarten teacher manages so many of them.  It seemed like there were a hundred kids running around.

    I've been rereading the A Modern Witch series all weekend.  I'm on book 5 now.

  • My SIL and her long-term BF broke up, which is sad because we all really liked him, but H told me about it and didn't get any details.  How did he not get details?  I NEED TO KNOW THE DETAILS.

    I finished Hollow City by Ransom Riggs and read The Summer I Turned Pretty by Jenny Han.  A bunch of my library holds came in so I've got to get moving.

  • I did absolutely nothing.  I've been nursing a migraine off and on since last Wednesday, so I spent a lot of time sleeping.  Oh and I had my weekly dinner with my parents and sister and watched North and South.  I have the biggest crush on Mr. Thornton EVER.  

    I finished Codependent No More (finally) and History Decoded: The Ten Greatest Conspiracies in American History.

    How was this book?  It sounds interesting, but you didn't seem thrilled with the beginning.

    How was this book?  It sounds interesting, but you didn't seem thrilled with the beginning.
    It wound up being a fun read.  It has all these inserts and reproduced documents from the various conspiracies.  It doesn't really go deep into anything - each section has five to ten pages and that's it, but I'll definitely be recommending it to students who are interested in history but not ready for something difficult.

  • I got zero reading done. I worked on Saturday, then crashed. Went to a baby shower on Sunday, and afterwards my husband took me shopping. We got new iphone 5s' and fitbits. I'm super excited.

  • I have a baby shower on 4/19, two days after my next gum surgery.  The pain will be minimal but I have to drive to Long Island for it.  I hate driving anywhere into or through Manhattan without my husband.

    I think so?  I was in a rush and didn't happen to notice.  Shocking, I know.

  • I spent the entire weekend projectile vomiting/pooping, its been awful. I strained my neck from vomiting so hard. DH is sick as well. Luckily DD didn't get it.

    I was able to finish Fragments (Partials #2), the first 1/2-3/4 was pretty slow but I really enjoyed the end and started on the next book in the series.

  • I got very little reading done but did listen to Into Thin Air on my drive to work on Saturday.  Sunday I went out to brunch with the family and then went indoor rock climbing for the first time.  So much fun!

  • On Friday night we went to a board game night.  It was nice because we haven't been able to go in months.
    On Saturday we did errand running and then went home and I got drunk. Weee.  We re-watched a few episodes of Game of Thrones On Demand, had popcorn, and went to bed way too late.
    I woke up sometime in the afternoon on Sunday, did a lot of stuff around the house.  We set up a rain barrel system in our yard for watering the garden. Then more errands.  We got blinds for our empty windows, new towels, and pictures frames for pictures that we have neglected to hang for too long.  Is it odd that these purchases make me excited?  Then we set up our food dehydrator and started work on making jerky.
    Later in the evening our godchildren and their parents came over.  It was a nice little visit.  Short.  I miss them.

  • I got my hair done on Friday and went to a fundraiser to help pay for a friend's funeral. He's losing his battle with cancer and is worried about how his family will afford his funeral. :(

    Saturday I called in to work and stayed home, ate junk, watched tv, and read until like 6 pm. Then I went to the mall and then bowling with some friends.

    Yesterday DH and I got lunch, saw Divergent, went shopping, and chilled at home for the rest of the night.
