My Day (Wed)

Yesterday I wrote an article on Hubpages that made me think I should keep better track of how I use my time. So I thought this blog was a good place to put such an experiment.

So today started at 7:30 when I got up to move my truck for the street sweepers. I'm pretty tired. The birds were making a racket this morning and I didn't sleep well from 5:30 AM to 7:30 AM.

8:30 Check email
9:00 Boyfriend needs me to make a post office run.
9:30 Joann's for a book
11:00 Eat at Panda Express
12:00 Stop at dollar store for craft supplies for embroidery project
1:00 Race home sick from food I ate. Ugh.
2:00 to 3:00 Read the new books I just got.
4:30 Work on line.

My daughter just called saying her plane from Jamaica/Florida is landing at LAX at 9:30. I thought she was coming back on the 6th, not the 3rd, so I've had to drop everything to go get her. It's an hour drive each way at least. I still have 4 1/2 hours to do stuff though.

Another Book Read

I'm happy to report I've finished the third book in the Twilight Series 'Eclipse' by Stephenie Meyer. I already checked out the fourth book 'New Dawn' too, so I'll start that tomorrow. I'd love to talk about the book but I don't want to mention any spoilers for those that haven't read it yet.

Library

I finished the New Moon book while I was in San Luis Obispo and just checked out the next 2 books in the series at the library. I'm not sure which number I'm on on my 100 books a year list. It's getting hard to keep track of. I just know I'm way behind. I keep picking long books, and sometimes I don't get around to reading every day. If you want to read about what a hassle the library was, click on the link that says library above.

New Book New Moon

I've been reading the 2nd book in the Twilight series called New Moon. I'm liking it a lot better than the first. I have 2 or 3 chapters to go. It will have to wait until I get home and go to the library on Tues. If they don't have it available I'll put a hold on it so I can read it ASAP.

I'm behind on my reading goals but I tried not to get any further behind while traveling. My first mistake is I didn't bring a book with me. I didn't want to risk losing a library book on the bus or on the train. So I've had to haunt the local bookstores in San Luis Obispo. But I'm going home tomorrow and I can finish the 3 books I'm reading at home.

Knit Fast Die Young

Yay I finished another book. It's called Knit Fast, Die Young by Mary Kruger. Of all the books I've read so far, this is the thinnest one. And I needed to play catch up anyway. Even so I'm still behind. Life has been hectic with family visiting from out of town and weekend jaunts and trying to fill 3 Etsy shops with merchandise. This mystery revolves around a wool festival, so if you like to knit, you might give it a spin.

Bitterwood & Coyote Waits

I just finished reading Bitterwood a few minutes ago.It's a fantasy story of a world where dragons rule over humans.

I've read a few chapters of Coyote Waits so I guess I will continue on hoping to catch up with my goal of reading 100 books a year.

Druids

I finished Druids. It's the 2nd time I read it. It's pretty complicated, especially at the end.

I could have sworn I took a photo of each book as I was reading it, but now I can't find the photos of Inkheart or Ender's Game or Changling. Hmmm.
Right now I'm reading Coyote Waits by Tony Hillerman and Bitterwood by James Maxey.
