Haven't gotten back to this yet.
READING:// SOME LUCK ~ JANE SMILEY

Watching // NCIS
I've let a cold roll over into pneumonia/bronchitis. And while I was convalescing I found out that 11 seasons of NCIS are on Netflix. We actually owned DVD's through 7, but through 11? I was giddy. It may have been the fever. I'm on season 3 now.
Music // Haven't listened to too much. Maybe some planet 80's?
Blogging // Not as much as I'd hoped, but at least I did get some reading done!
Acquisitions // Well I had an accidental acquisition... I took out a copy of The Wapsipinicon Almanac.out from the library .. nice local printed, local written literary journal... beautiful little mag... and my cat puked on it... so now I own it.
Hating // I've been sick since June 28th. First told viral, then recently put on Z Pak and this morning in the ER with pleurisy. Fun. Enough!!
Loving // I found a writer's group!! I'll blog more about this later. I'm so thrilled! On a side note I also found the most delicious iced mocha latte in the world!!
Writing // Have done some. Working on a short story that keeps getting longer. Came up with a couple other projects for the future.
Avoiding // Posting some new items to my Etsy shop. For one the weather hasn't given me a good picture day when I could utilize it. I have books and vintage goodies going up.
Other than being sick... Still looking at where my path is leading. With me it's never cut and dried.
Oh and I turn 50 on Tuesday... I'm devastated!
Happy Birthday :) I completely relate to the shock of it all, but having turned 55 this year I gotta admit, 50s are pretty good! ENJOY the birthday celebration on Tuesday!!
ReplyDeleteReally? 13 pages killed The Golden Compass for you? I'm so sad. I love that book 13 pages and all. I'm interested to see which 13 pages ruined it for you and why.
ReplyDeleteI had to Google pleurisy! Sounds awful! Hope you feel good enough to have a happy birthday on Tuesday! Don't be devastated! 50 is young these days!
