Friday

It's been forever since I had the chance to come here and post.  I really don't know where my time goes, or what I do with it, because it's not cleaning or reading!

Trudy, happy belated birthday.  I hope it was a good one.  I'm glad to see you got some birthday greetings from the family.  It's terrible that your mattress is giving you such grief!  I sure do hope that whatever the store can do for you helps.

Donna, I was talking to my boss earlier this week, and she was asking about our weather.  Over the weekend when you were having the horrid rain we were having record setting heat!  It's really amazing!  Now, the weather man is saying that we are getting some changes, and I think the cold weather might be coming.

Amanda, what a nice surprise.  Sorry it had to come because of a loss, but isn't it nice to be able to breath just a little bit easier!

The strangest thing happened.  I had applied for a position with HeadStart before I applied for the position I currently have.  They called me, and asked me in for an interview.  I really wasn't going to go because I did just start this job, but I felt the need to follow through, because I would have always wondered.  Yesterday I had the interview.  I'm not confident at all, but at least I followed through, and now know a bit more about the process of getting hired.   Next week I should find out something either way.

I was also brave and listened to 50 Shades of Gray.  While I know it's not the best book in the world by listening I also didn't think it was the worst.  There's a bit of a cliffhanger at the end, and I'm on the wait list from the library for the next one in audio. 

I listened to Emily and Einstein by Linda Francis Lee.  I really enjoyed that one.  Has anyone read it?

I finally started the Lucky Harbor series by Jill Shalvis.  I am not sure why I waited so long because I really enjoyed it.  However I didn't move to the second book immediately because I do have a review book that needs to be read, and I had been hearing a lot about a book called Her Miracle Man by Nikki Duncan.  Her Miracle Man is an ebook from Samhain.  Nikki is a local author and she talks fairly passionately about this book, so I finally after reading a review on Fresh Fiction (I was editing it, that's why I read it) had to read it.  I'm about 100 pages in and really liking it.

During November I got caught up on all the books in the Fatal series by Marie Force.  I think these are also only in ebook, but I could be mistaken.

Yesterday I hired a person that I got through the process at work on my own.  She was my first one!

This weekend our book club is hosting our annual Christmas Tea.  I'm going over there this evening to help wrap things for our book sale.  We sell prewrapped packages for $5 to help with literacy.  Tomorrow I will go early to help prepare food.  Luckily my helping with that is more like putting together the sandwiches after someone else has made the fillings.  They wouldn't want me to put my culinary skills to work doing more than that, as the results might not be good!

Hope everyone is doing great!

See you soon!
