Good morning!
So….. in case you wondered why a happy jolly morning post on Wednesday as usual and then….
crickets…
Ok… lets see… lately I have just been in love with sleeping. I have been waking up later than usual leaving me little time to write my morning post, and in the evenings I am too tired to write my reviews.
Thursday morning I woke up and did not even have time to look at Lap Top as I had to get to work, and while I did plan on writing when I got home…. I just did not have the energy. GAH.
Whats zapping my super powers? June has been a HUGE month. I had a 40 mile bike ride the first weekend, the second weekend was the MS150 and I had my accident at mile 71, part of my job at work is Special Events Coordinator and we have had an event each week for the last three weeks and now this coming Saturday is our annual potluck picnic that I am in charge of organizing for 300 people. I have been shopping and prepping in my spare time. Then this coming Sunday is our serving week with the homeless which is a passion of mine so yeah… I organize the food, the overnighters, etc, for that. Yup. Looking forward to July 10… that’s all I am saying. 😛
Any hoo…. besides a typical crazy life style here are some positive things happening:
- Brad – Navy son is home for two weeks! WOO HOO!!! His “friend hang out schedule” keeps him busy but next weekend we are going to the cabin for a day and a half.
- I am taking Monday and Tuesday off from work and can not wait!!!
- I am going back to the gym tomorrow to ease back into working out.
- Justin (College Son) comes into town on Monday – Thursday next week, both boys in town at the same time! 😀
And finally in bookish news I completely changed my audio plan when I read a review of Candy Freak by Steve Almond on Jill’s blog, Fizzy Thoughts. For some reason I was drawn to the story… fascinated about a book all about candy and within seconds I had it from audible.com. Ummmm…. can anyone say audio addict? 😯
and finally – the Literary blog hop winners, which wow. You gave me some interesting answers to my book question… I almost want to gather up those coveted reads and check them all out! 😀 Our winners of the two $10 Amazon gift cards using Random.Org are:
Chloe Hopper (#76)
Sarah Sparrow (#112)
Congratulations!!! Your gift cards will arrive by email! 😀
Minnesota is finally HOT. 92 degrees yesterday and suppose to hang through the weekend!
Book Journey 
So…you let a little thing like LIFE get in your way? LOL
Wow, you have been (and will be) busy for awhile. Try always….
Hope your arm is back to its normal “self” soon.
Yeah I know Laurel…. pathetic…. 😛
I just figured you were even busier than ever. Your daily activities make me tired just reading about them. Glad your boys are going to be home together. That’ll be super. Enjoy that hot weather; I pictured you out biking.
You were right Barbara, I think for the first time I did not have the desire to blog….. I am excited for the boys being home too 😀
You have been busy! I hope you can spend some time with your boys while they are home. Could you send a little of the heat my way? Duluth is 54 and foggy right now. This has seemed to be a particularly cool and grey June to me. Happy reading and listening!
I will be Kathy thanks 😀 We have a dinner planned next week with both of them and then the cabin at the end of next week 😀
Brainerd is currently 80 degrees and it is 9 am….
I’m happy to shake up your audio plans! I think you’ll like Candy Freak…it’s a fun book, and the narrator does a great job with the sarcasm.
I am cruising through it Jill, and yeah liking it and forming the review in my mind 😛
You sounds really busy… but that’s good. Lucky you get to see your boys!
Congrats winners!
Thanks Freda 😀
Have a great weekend.
Thanks Esme – you too! 😀
Congrats to the winners and Have a Happy and Safe 4th!!
Thanks Joy – you too 😀
Oh my goodness i am surprised you have time for blogging, I would be stepping away from the computer for awhile if my girls were both in town, real life and it is precious to spend time with them 🙂
I will when they are here. Brad is currently hanging out with friends and catching up,Justin will not be here until Monday 😀
Congrats to the winners!
Rest up and enjoy your long weekend with family!
Your blogiversary package arrived today, and it is awesome! Thanks so much!
Oh good Dixie! I am so glad to hear that – enjoy! 😀
Healing takes time and energy even when you don’t have a crazy schedule. When my husband broke his arm riding his bicycle last year it surprised both of us how much rest healing demands of the body. It’s great that you are able to get back into working out. And how wonderful that you get to spend time with your son!
I am glad to hear that Alyce – not that your hubby broke his arm biking, but that it is normal to need a lot of rest. I thought there was something wrong with me…. I a even taking naps! 😛
You’re allowed a break now and then! No need to apologize.
I think I finally hit that wall Hannah that I read some bloggers talk about… I just became… TIRED.
