Place // Work!

Eating // Just had my ham sandwich, some carrots and cucumber, and some dark chocolate acai blueberries. Wow, they are so good. At first I was all EH about them, but they have really REALLY grown on me. Doesn’t hurt that I can’t get enough dark chocolate, yeah?

Drinking // Water, as always.

Reading // Working through Far, Far Away by Tom McNeal right now. Finished by last Rainbow Rowell (Fan Girl) last week, so I am sad until she releases a new book. Also going to start Soonchild by Russell Hoban and The Crimson Petal and the White soonish. Also need to start a book for The Estella Project!

Watching // Watched the season finale of Doctor Who yesterday. O. M. G. I mean really. OMG. Anyone else watch it? Because OMG y’all! JOHN FREAKING HURT!!!!!!

Listening // Should finish up Looking for Me by Beth Hoffman this week. Beth, you made me do the ugly cry! ;P Not sure what’s next yet.

Pondering // Hmm…what am I thinking about…? The daughter’s last week of school and facing the fact that she will be a FOURTH GRADER. And the fact that my son starts KINDERGARTEN in less than 3 months. Also thinking of the garden and all the work I still need to do out there. I NEED MORE TIME PEOPLE. I’m sure you do too, though. *sigh*

Blogging // Now that life is calming down, more, I hope. Can’t review Fan Girl yet, but hopefully I’ll finish Far, Far Away and review it this week.

Promoting // The Estella Project!

Hating // Allergies! The weeds! They are killing me!

Pondering // Not much. My son is at the beach with my aunt and uncle, he left this morning (Sunday), so I’m in a bit of a funk. This is the farthest, and longest, he’s been away from me. I’m quite miserable.

Pondering // Interviewing people for the job opening I have at work. I’ve never interviewed people before, and I haven’t even interviewed that much. So, I’m kind of nervous.

Blogging // This. I hope I can blog more this week, but, well, don’t be surprised if you don’t see me. I’ll be getting my ducks in a row for Saturday.

Promoting // The Read-a-thon. As if you didn’t know.

Watching // Watched the new Doctor Who episode, COLD WAR, this morning. That’s about it.

Instagramming // #EstellaGram as always, and also picked up #DoodleADay cause I’ve been doodling a lot lately. Both are so much fun!

Listening // When not listening to The Name of the Wind, I’m still obsessing over Imagine Dragons and The Heavy.

Pondering // The Read-a-thon. It’s in less than 2 weeks!!!

Blogging // This, so far, this week. Last, blogged about my garden. Really want to get a couple of reviews finished this week.

Promoting // Still the Read-a-thon. Have you signed up?

Hating // Ticks. They are going to be SO BAD this year. I’ve already gotten 2 off of me, and I NEVER get bit.

Anticipating // The Read-a-thon! I know, I’m a broken record, but it is SO ON MY MIND and will be until April 28th.

Have a great week everyone!

Time // 5:54 PM, Sunday

Place // Home, on my newly cleaned off desk. IT IS SO NICE. Must try to keep it this way!

Eating // Getting ready to eat an apple. Or maybe some popcorn.

Drinking // Water, as always

Reading // Finishing up Strangers in Paradise Book 2 by Terry Moore and a short story collecting by Melissa Marr. I’ve had it for a couple of months, but didn’t realize until I picked it up to read that it had stories from the Wicked Lovely universe in it. YAY!

Watching // Let’s see, I watched the last episode of New Girl and caught up on Elementary this weekend.

Listening // Listening to The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss. It’s read by Nick Podehl, who also read The Chaos Walking trilogy. I had a hard time hearing his voice and nothing thinking of TODD, but I think I’m finally over it.

*sigh* Todd.

Pondering // A new look for the blog. I’ve had this one for quite awhile, probably a record for me, but it’s getting old.

Blogging // I almost have two reviews finished! Hope to get this up this week.

Promoting // The read-a-thon! As I will be all month! It’s in 3 weeks!!!

Hating // Basketball. It’s not even March any more. Let’s get this March madness over with! Seriously.

Anticipating // The read-a-thon! Seriously, it’s my whole world right now! Well, that and my garden. Oh, and a certain wedding I’m going to soon!! *wink, wink*

Worrying // About this boy of mine. We just can’t seem to shake the hitting phase. AND I HAVE TO REGISTER HIM FOR KINDERGARTEN THIS WEEK! People. Where did my baby go?

Have a great week everyone!

Not sure where I first saw this, but I stole the stuff from Kim at Sophisticated Dorkiness. I think it looks like fun, so I thought I’d play along for awhile!

Time // 8:10 AM (Sunday) (but pretend like I’m writing this on Monday)

Place // At my messy desk surrounded by books. As per usual.

Eating // Cereal with milk. Boring, but also yummy.

Drinking // Water,

Reading // I’m currently reading Strangers in Paradise, Volume 1 by Terry Moore for my Gender Through Comics class I’m taking through Ball University. Tis pretty cool! Also reading The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss (read by Nick Podehl) and Mort by Terry Pratchett. Much to love in my reading this week!

Watching // Not much lately. Watched the season finale of Raising Hope (hilarious!) and New Girl. Oh, and also DOCTOR WHO!!! I’m so excited to hear David Tennant will be back for the 50th anniversary show, that I dreamed about him Saturday night. *bliss*

OH! And we did watch Wreck-It Ralph and Rise of the Guardians last night, since we got the kids those movies for Easter. I loved the both, but Rise of the Guardians was awesome. Now I really want to read the books. Already have the first one and it started my pile for the read-a-thon.

Listening // Mixing it up on my Pandora list this week. Some of The Heavy, some Jeff Buohy, some Apocalyptica. Oh, and some Bach, Beethoven, and Tchaikovsky. And maybe some Elba too. And lots of obsessing over The Preacher by Jamie N Commons and Radioactive by Imagine Dragons.

Pondering // Actually, I’ve been pondering the state of the blog lately. Actually debating whether I want to continue, which I haven’t done in a long time. And I’m not April Foolin’, promise. Just ain’t feeling it lately, is all.

Blogging // Getting ready to write up my March recap. And do hope to review Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys this week. And starting to gear up for the read-a-thon. Andi and I are already plotting. A LOT.

Promoting // April’s #EstellaGram which I am having ALL KINDS OF FUN with. And hoping to finally post about The Estella Project this week!

Hating // The weather and the migraines I’ve been getting with the weather. I swear, I’m turning into a barometer! I can definitely tell it’s going to rain tomorrow, if my head starts hurting. It sucks. So far, it’s raining today (it’s not too bad yet), Tuesday, and Thursday of this week.

I don’t like knowing the future.

Anticipating // The start of my class today (the Gender Through Comics thing). The syllabus looks awesome. Also looking forward to spending the day with the kids. And will be planting onions and potatoes today! Oh. And also (dreading) going back to work tomorrow.

Have a great week everyone!
