Good morning!
*takes a large sip of coffee and wipes mouth with back of hand*
I LOVE LOVE LOVE chatting with all of you! You are like an addiction to me…. I read your comments, I laugh out loud, or think about what brilliant thing you said and then I respond back. I love the community of blogging and when I comment to you, it is like having a conversation about one of my favorite all time topics:
Books.
Yet occasionally, I will post something that I just let ride without my input. This happened yesterday when I posted about the controversy currently surrounding the changes to the Huck Finn book. I wanted to share my thoughts and hear yours as well and I am enjoying seeing the comments come in but I have no more to say about it myself.
Note that this is a rare occurrence…. mainly because “man, I do love to chat with you!” Blogging to me is so community oriented. I love the books you recommend to me, the thoughts you share, and I look forward to hearing from you.
I am on a crazy day today – work, work out, 5:00 meeting and a class at 6:30 – 8:00 pm tonight. I will not touch back to home base until around 8:30 tonight and even thinking about that makes me tired! 
I have a post up later today I am pretty excited about so hope you will be able to stop back and know that when I get a chance I will be responding to your comments 🙂 I believe I am naturally chatty…
and caffeinated. 😀
Book Journey 
so here’s a question for you……i’ll have a day similiar to yours….get home late, go through the mail, empty the dishwasher, etc…then i’ll read at most a page or two before i crash….it’s taking me forever to get through a book!
will you still be able to physically read something today? (i know you have audio…i’m not counting that)
Diana I usually read at night when everyone else is asleep – that is my wind down time. 🙂
Chatting with you has really changed a few things in my life. The first thing was that I started to have a lot of coffee with a hell of a lot of milk and sugar….second was my diet and exercise routine which began 6 months ago after my uncle got inspired my your work routine ( and the diet is going strong to my distaste….)……..third, I started to read more books than ever and my room started looking like somewhere where a pig in love with books and not paper would like to chill out……..Fourthly I recently donated a few books to my library and that felt really great……and lastly I have started to come to the conclusion that geography or culture do not form barriers when 2 friends just want to sit down, relax, drink some coffee and discuss life together……and books too !
It has been great being on this blog. And the book reviews totally rock !!
Enjoy your day….I have to get back to my History textbook.
LOL I love this comment Fiza – I especially love this:

I totally agree!
Have a wonderful day — it’s freezing cold here and your hot cup of coffee is tempting me to make more 🙂
p.s. I LOVE coming here each morning, especially because you do share your personal thoughts on more than just books. xox
Thanks Rebecca! 😀
Sounds like a full day! I hope you enjoy it. And it’s great having you and your daily posts to look forward to each day – you really make a difference, thanks! 🙂
I love catching up with all of you too and seeing what is on everyones agenda – it makes me feel normal – ha ha 🙂
I ran out of coffee before your post popped up in my inbox! Not because you were late, but because I’ve been up since 3:30 a.m. I know, crazy! But last night, I was tired and went to sleep at 8:30! So naturally, I’d had enough sleep by 3:30. I watched The Good Wife and Parenthood on my DVR (one of your favorite actors is on that show…Lauren Graham); and then I got on the computer, checked e-mails, and started working on my WIP for a challenge I’m doing.
Long story short…coffee all gone!
Should I make more?
Laurel – I love Lauren Graham but have not really got into the show Parenthood…. I guess I am afraid it will not compare to my Gilmore experience 😉
And yes – I am getting back to you late … but make more! 😀
I must have missed your previous post, but let me ask, what class do you take?
Although, I just subscribed to your blog few weeks ago, I enjoy leaving comment and checkin your reply. lol
Aleetha our church offers life classes and tonight is the start of a DVD study of Jerusalem…. as busy as I am…. I really want to do this one.
I also take Zumba classes, group power classes, and seasonally – cooking classes (yup – laughable!)
I don’t think I could keep up with you – you are crazy busy!
I burn out Kathy but seem to find myself right back on the roller coaster again 😀
Just a quickie of a question…do you drink coffee all day long or just in the morning and…what kind of coffee maker did you replace your broken one with?
I agree with Kathy ( bermuda onion )…I could not keep up your pace…you seem to thrive on very little down time…
Mainly just in the morning Patty and it is not as bad as I talk about here… when I first started doing meanderings I would mention coffee and people just got the impression that I was this huge coffee drinker so I made it part of the logo and the discussion – I do love coffee… but usually by 9 or 10 am I am coffeed out and move on to water. 😀
That is one of the things I love about the blogging community also. The opportunity to share our experiences with books and book-related subjects is invaluable!
Me too Kathleen – I love to connect on books!
