Good Morning! Happy Sunday!
The sun is out and shining bright. I am so thrilled to not see clouds or rain and the rest of the week is looking the same! Finally! 😀
We are now 8 days out from BEA (Book Expo America). It’s funny, Reagan and I signed up to go in December… 5 months ago, so now that it is here it is like…. Oh yeah!
I have much to do between now and next Sunday afternoon when I leave to meet Reagan in Minneapolis and then fly out early Monday morning. I do not even know yet what the weather has been like in New York. Last year it was warm and I wore Capri’s and nice shirts, or light weight pants… I do hope that part is the same. 😀
Later this week I will post a list of some of the commitments I have while I am there. Gah…. commitments sounds awful. Commitments are things that I have to do, when honestly – these are things I want to do. Can’t wait to do! One of the best things about going to BEA – besides the super cool books, is the people you meet and the plans you make.
I need to organize where I am and when for my sake as I want to do everything I have been invited to and not miss out on anything as well… so much to do yet! 😛
On a different… more home in Minnesota note, hubby and I had a wonderful dinner with friends last night at their home. Andy and Laura invited us and three other couples over to their home last night for conversation and a wonderful tortellini dinner. As we sat around the table laughing and sharing I had to wonder why we don’t do things like this more often. It was just fun to be together. I hope to correct that this year and do a little more hanging out this summer and fall with couples and do dinner parties… it sounds so…
grown up. 😛
Have an awesome Sunday – I absolutely will be on my bike today! 😀
Book Journey 
Turns out, I’ll be at the Con too – just for the day on Friday, but still … ! Looking forward to seeing you there!
Melissa -awesome – be sure to come and say hi 🙂
Oh, wish I could go to NY BEA…sigh. Hope you have a great time and share lots of tidbits and photos.
Your evening with friends sounds fabulous.
It was a good time Laurel – so simple, yet it really made me realize how thankful I am for good friends. 🙂
Have fund getting ready – I so wish I were gong to BEA this year!
I wish you were too! I can not believe such a thing exists.. its like Heaven for book lovers 😀
I just hate not knowing the weather in advance when I travel – and one really can’t know it even when it’s “predicted” anyway. Frustrating for packing! But I will look for you in your nice shirts! LOL
LOL Jill – that means you are going! 😀 SSQQUUEEE!!!!
Hopefully the weather will be awesome for you, Sheila!
You could make a spreadsheet to remind you what you definitely want to do at BEA.
I hope so too Barb! I started making my list today of the things I am doing…. so far only one overlap which is too bad, but thats the way it goes. 😀
I wish I were going to BEA 😦 I will have to just enjoy all the posts from all my fellow bloggers! I loved reading all about last year so keep us posted! Send some warm weather to Wisconsin please! It feels like it could snow here! Have fun on your trip, Sheila!
I wish you were too Beth – I would love to meet everyone I have the privilege of chatting with about books! 🙂
Hope you have a great time!!
Thanks Staci!!!
Thank you so much. I am so thrilled to have won!!
Joann’s Best
WOO HOO Joann!
I still have a ton of stuff to do before it’s time to go, too. Looking forward to seeing you again @ BEA! 😀
WOO HOO!!! (Yeah I am totally procrastinating and suspect I will hit panic mode over the weekend. 😀
Hope you had a good bike ride!
I did Hannah – but only 8 miles… the wind was annoying and my head was full of the things I needed to get done yet…. so short ride but that counts too I guess 😀
It definitely does!
