Welcome to my weekly update for October 24, 2016! Autumn has finally arrived here in the mountains of North Carolina! Our temperatures hovered around 80 degrees until Friday, when they dropped into the fifties. We’ve warmed up a bit over the weekend but the cooler temperatures have finally brought on some spectacular fall color. My […]
Welcome to my weekly update for October 3, 2016! I made it back two Sundays in a row, so that must mean my schedule’s getting back to normal. I ran a 5K yesterday morning. My time wasn’t as good as I had hoped, but considering that I’ve had very little time for any workouts this […]
Welcome to my weekly blog update for September 26, 2016 Holy moly. I’m not sure where this summer’s gone. My last post was on April 7. April 7! That seems crazy. But it’s also about right. That’s when work just exploded on me. I haven’t had time for much of anything because I’ve had so […]
Welcome to my weekly blog update for April 3, 2016! Holy smokes. I didn’t mean to take such a long break! The last time I posted was on February 21 but I have read quite a bit since then. I’m so brain-dead by the time I get home from work, I only want to veg […]
Welcome to my weekly blog update for February 21, 2016! Well, it’s been a rough couple of weeks. Just as I pressed the “Publish” button on my last Sunday/Monday post, my mom called to let me know that one of my grandmothers had passed away. Of course I’m upset and miss her, but when I […]
Welcome to my weekly blog update for February 7, 2016! We’ve had a good week here. The weeknights were pretty low-key and yesterday we went to a local RV show and spent tons of our imaginary money. 🙂 That’s the best kind to spend, right? We were just dreaming. Last night we went to see […]
Welcome to my weekly update for February 1, 2016! Our snow from last week is mostly gone so life is back to normal. I know some of you have a big snow storm heading your way now, so stay safe and warm! My mom’s birthday was on Wednesday and my dad’s is coming up on […]
Welcome to my weekly update for January 25, 2016! I hope those of you affected by winter storm Jonas made it through in good shape! We got about 6″ off of it, which is a pretty good amount for us. The office was closed on Friday so I was able to stay home and read […]
Welcome to my weekly update for January 18, 2016! I’ve dropped off for a couple of weeks again, but there hasn’t been too much to report on the book front anyway. It was my turn to download a brick of an audiobook that I’ve been waiting for at the library just after I started reading […]
Welcome to my weekly update for January 4, 2016! I hope everyone had a safe, fun New Year! We took it pretty easy and just went out to eat on New Year’s Eve, watched a movie (The Gay Divorcee, an old Astaire/Rogers musical), then watched the ball drop. The rest of the weekend we mostly […]
My top ten books read in 2015. I looked back at my top ten of 2014 and see that I wrote that it was just an average year. I’m happy to report that this year was better. These weren’t necessarily published in 2015 (and probably weren’t since I mostly read from my own library of older books) and I’ve tried to avoid listing […]
