May Reading Log

I was busy in May, managing 8 books this month. I guess that makes up for the lack of reading in April. I had more downtime this month, which translated into reading more. This month was a mix of...

Get Your Ass Outside, or Mount St Helens

Pet and I tend to work strange hours, and that often leads to us planning on doing all kinds of things on Saturday, only to blow it all off in favor of sleep. It’s a frustrating habit that we’ve been...

Steph’s Favorite Postcards Week – Day 1

I love postcards. As a kid I never thought to collect them, and as a an adult, I never really thought to send them. Then, someone was trying to raise money for eye surgery, and I offered to send out a...

Steph’s Favorite Postcards Week – Day 2

Day 2 of my favorite postcards week is postcards I’ve received from Postcrossing. They’ve come from all over the world, which I think is really awesome. Postcrossing works pretty simply: you make an...

Steph’s Favorite Postcards Week – Day 4

Today’s postcards are ones I’ve received from other users on Swap Bot. I’ve probably received a stack 8 inches thick in the year I’ve been swapping there, so narrowing it down was tough. I have more...

Steph’s Favorite Postcards Week – Day 5

Okay, so to be fair, these are not my absolute favorite purchased postcards. Most of those have seen mailed out already. And, for some reason, a number of postcards I really like and still have went...

Steph’s Favorite Postcards Week – Day 6

So, I had to work all day, and I had put up a warning notice here, to let anyone reading know that I wasn’t able to put in comments just yet. The paragraph was deleted, probably because I was...

June Reading Log

June was not as busy a month as May was. I only managed 3 books this month, unlike 8 in May. Still, I read some books, and they were fairly thick books, so I feel accomplished enough. This post is for...

Spin

I heard a commercial on the radio today that made me think about spin. No,  I’m not talking about the magazine, or the setting on your washer, but the kind used for public relations. One of the best...

July Reading Log

July was a busy month. I spent the first 10 days haying, with a 2 day break for a family reunion in Sun River, Oregon.  Oh, and my boss went on to another position within the company, and I have a new...

September Reading Log

I read a lot of books this month. 10 to be precise, although to be fair, 4 of them were audiobooks. Work was busy this month, which meant I spent a lot of time driving (hence the audiobooks) and a lot...

I managed 6 books this month, which is a goodly bit. Especially since one book was 1200 pages, and another almost 800. That’s a lot of reading. Dreamfever – Karen Marie Mongin I’d read this one before,...

December Reading Log

5 books in December is nothing scoff at, I guess. It was a busy month, we’re always working extra with more loads, and also my uncle passed away unexpectedly in early December. That meant a house full...

Glass Pokeball (Flat piece)

A year ago, for Christmas 2012, Pet gave me a circle cutter. It’s what I really, really wanted, because cutting circles is really difficult without a circle cutter. I immediately went circle mad, and...

January Reading Log

In January I managed 8 books and 2 short stories. Goodreads counts it as 10 books, because it doesn’t differentiate between short stories and actual books. This puts me ahead in my goal of 60 books...
