outside the blogosphere…
This was my first week back on my old schedule, and I can’t even tell you guys how much happier I was. My spouse even looked at me at one point early on in the week and said, “It’s like you’re back,” because they felt like the increased hours had changed me so much (and not for the better). Our whole family is just thriving right now. ?
I’m still slowly chipping away at comments and have reached the point where, if a comment is more than a couple of weeks old, I’ll probably just “like” it unless it requires a reply, so please don’t think I’m rude! ?? I just can’t wait to get caught up and NEVER LET THIS HAPPEN AGAIN. At the time I’m writing this post, I have over 800 pending comments to approve and reply to.
reading this weekend…
I think I’ve FINALLY kicked my reading slump! ? I’m trying to finish a few current reads over the next few days:
? Changeling
? Salvation Day
? In the Shadow of Spindrift House
? Dead to the World
? Hunting Prince Dracula (reread)
? The Work of Art
what I watched…
? Nothing! Whoops.
what I listened to…
* these are my favorite songs of the week!
? Of Monsters and Men — ‘Wild Roses’ (still obsessing over their whole discography while impatiently awaiting the new album!!!!)
? Epica — ‘Unchain Utopia’
what I played…
? World of Warcraft (Just lots and lots of WoW.)
a few last words…
