Another Busy Day

I have to say Christmas was spectacular with the relatives! They were kind enough to let us crash in their beautiful home. The kids really enjoyed themselves and made out like bandits this year. Still busy on this side though. My son's 5th birthday is Sunday and need to pick up a couple items for him as well as get the cake ingredients. I used an extra day off last week so I work 6 days this week and go in for a few hours today (hoping to get off early Sunday) for paperwork stuff. The New Year probably won't see a slow down but hopefully it will be a little more of a regular schedule.

On the reading front I am currently reading book number 4 in the Meredith Gentry series by Laurell K Hamilton. I like the idea of the Sidhe in America. I realize now that I mostly read her books for the worlds she creates, it is a shame they are hidden behind so much sex. Hamilton's characters and worlds are fantastic. I will probably start reading the next Dresden book soon. And come the new year I will start in on my challenges! Already have a book coming from the local library for the Steampunk Challenge.

Until later!

Challenges!

So I decided to look into reading challenges for next year. So many intriguing ones out there! Going to be hard to chose some and not go over board. I'm a pretty fast reader and tend to read up to 3 books at a time, but that's in genres I like. I want to use the challenges to read something outside my norm so need to not go nuts heh.

On a side note: I'll probably not post much in the next two weeks. Due to the holidays of course and the craziness it inflicts on me at work. 12 hour plus days tend to kill the desire to sit at a computer and think of something to write. Well other than, "unghhh zzzzz."

He hesitated a moment, then nodded, once. "I will allow it."
"Sage," I said, "a small lick like you gave Rhys in the other room, nothing else."

Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day

A day to remember those that have been lost, those that have served and those that still serve.

Thank you.
