Books, books, books!

I love to surround myself with books. Notebooks, books to read, eBooks... I'm not fussy. ;) But over the weekend, I actually bundled up just over 60 books from my bookshelf and took them to a local secondhand bookstore. Yay. It was a HUGE load off my bookshelves. I had to get super…

These weeks, they keep goin' faster...

Oh yes they do! Yikes.   Anyway, the week started out pretty busy for me. I was still working on the second draft of Sierra Fox #3 , while putting together a to-do list and celebrating the release of Sierra's second book!  Yay.   There's always so much to do, and as s…

Hello, Tuesday

So, how was your weekend? Mine was great! I planned to blog yesterday but I was busy trying to get the second draft of Sierra Fox #3 done... and didn't get it finished until today. Yay. I've decided to give myself the rest of the week off. Um, that kinda means that I st…

It's the end of the week!

I have to admit that I didn't get as much done as I hoped to. To start with, I'm still reading the same book I started last weekend. And I didn't reach the end of the second draft I started on Monday. As I mentioned the other day, I was moving a lot slower than I wanted…

It's not seriously mid-week already, right?

Actually, it is. And I'm still trying to get myself into this new routine. It's a little harder than I thought it would be--especially since this is hubby's third week--but I think I'm getting there. :) Over the weekend, I decided that I would devote this week to work…

Sunny Monday...

And I sure hope it stays that way. :) Anyway. See the pic I posted today? It's my latest notebook stash. I know, I can't help myself. As soon as I see cute notebooks, pens, etc. I have to buy some. And as you can see, I did just that. ;) Problem is, my daughter seems to have …
