Ok – I seriously blinked and missed the weekend. I traveled to our cabin on Friday, did some cleaning and reading, and came back Saturday evening. Sunday morning we left early to take out youngest son to college and help him set up his apartment he is renting. By the time we got back to Brainerd…. the weekend had passed us by.

Here is what I read happened here this past week:

Review Not Without Hope by Nick Schuyler (heart wrenching read!)

Review: Game On Diet by Krista Vernoff and AZ Ferguson (You may want to read this review as I am going to be talking A LOT about this book in August! 😀

Review: The Color Purple by Alice Walker (I had never read this before and it really blew me away!)

Finished reading/listening to:

Harry Potter and The Deathly Hollows Audio (review coming soon)

The Wildwater Walking Club by Claire Cook (review coming soon)

Auf Wiedersehen by Christa Holder Ocker (review coming soon)

Men and Dogs (audio) by Katie Crouch (review coming soon)

Hailey Twitch is Not A Snitch by Lauren Barnholdt (review coming soon)

I had a good reading and audio weekend due to all the travel. This week will be a tight one with the big bike ride this weekend I know I will pretty much get no reading done over the weekend. So knowing that here is my plan for this week:

This is a tour book coming up on Wednesday and I am kind of pumped about this one! 😀

This one is from my library giveaway and the winner (Jennifer) chose this as my next read. Once it is read I will be passing it on to her and then I will run the contest again. 😀

And that is it for my plan – I am keeping it light this week, if I am able to complete more I will be thrilled. So I am so anxious to see what you are all reading (now that my name is cleared at the library…. LOL see my I am on the lam post about that one…. hee hee)

**This post was supposed to go live this morning but WordPress was down and I had to leave for the day, as you will see below. So – since this is a time sensitive post…. and will make no sense in a couple of days, I am posting it now. 😀

(as told at 7 am this morning):

I am sitting here sipping coffee This is the kick off to a busy, crazy, fun and wild month.

Today we move college son back to Mankato into his apartment he is renting with a friend. Yes, Mankato Minnesota is the one and the same “Big town” where the Ingall’s family would go shopping for supplies. 🙂

Today starts the Game On Diet – 30 days….. I am hopeful I will do well. To follow this journey I have made a journal on my sidebar… Game On!

Next weekend Aug. 7-8 is the 150 mile bike ride for a camp in Brainerd that is for children with Aids. This will be my second year doing this ride.

Aug. 10 I am in Minneapolis for the day training for my job on a software program, sadly that is the same day as my book club meets and I am more than likely going to miss attending. I really dislike missing book club.

August 21 is a 75 mile bike ride through Itasca Park and I will be doing this one with Wendy. This was a beautiful ride last year and I am so excited to be on this one.

August 22 – 24 I am up at Mink Lake Camp in Grand Marais Minnesota for Leadership training

Somewhere in there I am hoping to get tickets to Wicked which will be performing in Minneapolis. I had tickets two years ago when they were here and a friend of mine decided to get married on that day and I was in her wedding so I gave my ticket away.
