There is a fun thing going on over at Callapidder Days organized and hosted by Katrina.
I signed up and then tried to list my books, and blogger would not let me in yesterday. So, I took the list to work to do after school, but forgot to do it, and then left it there.
Excuses galore, I know, but here is the start of my list:
1. The Edge of Winter by Luanne Rice ***finished
2. Sisters by Danielle Steele ***finished
3. Alphabet Weekends by Elizabeth Noble ***finished
4. Step on a Crack by James Patterson
5. Forever in Blue: Fourth Summer of the Sisterhood by Anne Brashears
6. Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult ***finished
7. Light from Heaven by Jan Karon
8. Family Tree by Barbara Delinsky ***finished
9. Me & Emma by Elizabeth Flock
10. The Coffin Quilt by Ann Rinaldi ***finished
11. Fifty Acres and a Poodle by Jeanne Marie Laskas
12. Re-reading James Patterson's 1st to Die series in preparation for #6 which is coming out in April
***Updated and complete, although I could surpass this depending on how I spend my time on the weekends, and over Easter break. However, since I have a logbook to complete, 2 watches to bead, and papers to grade, I think that 12+ books is all I am going to be able to read!! Summer list begins after this one ends though, so keep checking in!!

100 things

3. I love to read, and spend most of my summer break at the pool reading all the books that have had to wait until I had "time".

Only one post in February
I can't believe I only posted once in February. I guess I just needed a break in some ways, but also the month flew by. (It does only have 28 days!!) Ending the month with my birthday was good. I had a fairly good day but it was hampered by cramps which is just not fair when you want to go out to eat. So we stayed home, and plan on visiting PF Changs another evening. We had a fun weekend as well. . .celebrating a friend's 50th birthday at a hotel near downtown Pittsburgh. We got home, and have been resting. Church tonight and back to work. . .where do the weekends go?
I just will be happy to have my energy back. Cramps, tired, irritable, you name it, I felt it over the past few days, and to make matters worse, it all started early for me. Well, more like last month, I was just late, so it put me off schedule somehow. Hope things get back to regular again.
We are searching for flights for San Diego this summer, but need to wait until I find the dates for a workshop I need to attend. Of course, my supervisor at the DUI program thought they would be posted by beginning of March, and I am still waiting. It just seems to be the way. . .when you really need something, it doesn't happen as you plan.
Sorry about the disjointed post. Too many thoughts running through my mind I guess. I have more to say, but want to update my list of books. I want to keep track of books I have read this year as I saw on a few blogs I read.
