Another Saturday Random

February 19, 2011 Random Stuff

A Clean Desk
So yesterday I came downstairs in the morning, and discovered that my husband, who’s been getting up at 5 in the mornings for the past month, had decided to surprise me and clean up the office.
And not just the office, but my desk, too!
I will just say here that after three and [...]

January 12, 2011 Books and Reading

Wouldn’t you know it? Just as I’m really getting into my blogging rhythm again, my deadlines undergo a mini-explosion and now my January looks very much like my December and November.
In other words, lots and lots of work.
But, since I really don’t want to lose this new blogging rhythm of mine, here I am! And [...]

A Rambly Random Wednesday

March 3, 2010 Random Stuff

I’m feeling rather random-ly today, so of course, it means another post of random stuff! Here are the random things that have been delighting me:
Dream analysis. My older son has been getting university acceptances and a few scholarship offers, as well as several phone calls from the universities he’s applied to, so we’ve had lots [...]

Knee Surgery …

February 11, 2009 Life

Not mine. My husband’s.
He went in for day surgery on Monday, and he’s doing well right now.
I wish I could say the same for me. I didn’t foresee the extra work around here, for some reason.
He’s on crutches and is only supposed to put partial weight on his leg for the next four weeks or [...]

January 18, 2009 Books and Reading

I’m in the midst of a hectic weekend of deadlines and such, but thanks to a little experiment I did involving changing my beliefs about time, I find myself with the time to write today’s Sunday Salon post!
What I love best about The Sunday Salon is checking out what everyone is reading. So my own [...]

TSS: Currently reading Brown, Cabot, Fowler and Neville

December 7, 2008 Books and Reading

It’s Sunday again – time most definitely has been flying by. I’m currently reading four books, but this week is a hectic week for me in terms of editorial deadlines, so I’m not sure how many of these I will be able to finish up and review by this time next Sunday.
But there’s just something [...]

The Sunday Salon – Currently Reading: Book of Lies, Casting Spells and The Fire

November 30, 2008 Books and Reading

I am currently reading a fun stash of books right now, and the only reason why I haven’t finished any of them is because I haven’t had a good block of time to do so. I keep my “currently reading” books in different rooms of the house, and tend to just pick up whatever book [...]

The Sunday Salon – Currently reading: Charlaine Harris, Alexander McCall Smith & Beverly Bartlett

November 23, 2008 Books and Reading

I’m currently reading three books right now, all of which I will be reviewing later this week (or when I finish them!).
I started Charlaine Harris’ An Ice Cold Grave last night, and was in for a pleasant surprise. I had actually read the first in the series, Grave Sight, last year and had enjoyed it [...]
