Yeah, well...

School work has caught up with me. If you didn't know, I'm a procrastinator by nature. And I have put off typing up field reports for my field observations I did LAST month. And now they're due by Monday. Not to mention that I have writing samples and a handwriting sample due Monday. I also have to do a thematic unit for the 28th. Thankfully I have the thematic unit half done already...just got to type it. I'm not going to be able to move my fingers by the time I finish typing all this stuff. And to further complicate things, we get new assignments starting Monday LOL I may not have a brain left come December.

On a happier note, my house is prepared for the Christmas tree. The girls noticed that one of our neighbors put theirs up on Veteran's Day and they are now chomping at the bit to put ours up. I think Jenna is going to put our lights up this weekend. She has nothing better to do since she's still grounded. She does the lights on the porch anyways. I've had to rearrange my living room to make room for the giant tree we have. Ours is 9 foot tall and it's big! We usually put it up in the dining room, but with the new dining room table, it won't fit. And we've gotten use to eating at a table again ROFLOL I may have Ashley clean the mantle off so we can put my village there. Not sure what we're going to do with stockings since we got a big screen last Christmas and it covers most of the mantle so hanging them there and them being seen is not an option. We'll just have to see what we're doing.

My Reading Habits

I am an avid book reader.  I have even been known to read a good bit of fanfiction (I'm a Twifan...yes, I admit that in public).  Since joining Goodreads I've come to love to do reading challenges.  In case you're like my best friend and have no clue what that might be, let me explain.  A reading challenge can be as simple as setting a reading goal for the year.  Or it can be as complex as one I'm doing next year that is an Artist Color Wheel Challenge - find book covers that are mainly the colors on the color wheel and are the shades of the grey scale. Anyway, I read Book Chick City's blog  http://www.bookchickcity.com/  and they're doing a Mystery/Suspense reading challenge that I'm going to join in on next year.  I'm going to see if I can read 12 mystery/suspense books.  You may be thinking that that isn't a whole lot of books for someone who claims to be an avid reader; and you're right, it's not BUT I normally don't read myste...

A Lady Awakened by Cecilia Grant

I won an ARC of this on Goodreads - thank you so much!  I enjoyed it so much! My favorite romances are of the Regency period and this is that time period.  But that is where all similarities to others end.  Mrs. Russell (I just can't bring myself to call her Martha LOL) is a new widow who comes to realize she will loose her home and her dowry if she doesn't produce a male heir.  The kicker to this is that the late Mr. Russell's brother is a total jerk-face who has taken advantage of women in their home when he lived there as a young man.  Enter Mr. Theo Mirkwood...the rogue who has been sent to the country as a punishment by his father.  Mrs. Russell employs Mr. Mirkwood as her "stud" for a month so she can conceive a child and claim the inheritance.   Mrs. Russell believes she can't take any pleasure from their daily (later it becomes nightly) encounters.  Theo eventually changes her mind.  Martha is so set on her plan to t...

Naked in Death by JD Robb

"I don't think I'm in love with you anymore, I know I am."  Oh. my. gah.  I am sooo in love with Roarke! Holy balls!  Why did I wait so long to read this? (actually I listened) It's like an amazing episode of CSI or Law & Order or some show like that....not that I watch tv all that often, but yeah, Lt Eve Dallas would put those shows to shame! The crime solving portion of the book, which honestly was the majority of the book, was great.  There was enough creep factor to the crime and the reasoning when you found out who it was that did it and why, but it wasn't so bad that you wanted to put it down.  It just made me mad that I couldn't have killed the pervy old man myself. This is definitely a series I will continue.  It may also just convert me to an audio book listener....as you may or may not know, my previous attempts at listening have not gone so well.  But this kept my attention pretty well and I loved the voice characterization of Roa...
