A Give Away & An Update
Life is so busy it is ridiculous. Honestly, I keep thinking next week will be better... Next week will be better. The fact is this time of year is nuts at home and at work and I'm embracing the concept. Sort of.
Do you have to fight the urge to do ab-so-lutely everything on your list every darn day? I do. It's irritating. Yet. I'm struggling to change my mindset. Aaaargh!
As I write I have three stacks of books next to me. The 5 remaining books to add to my September reading list, the 14 books to enter and post for my October list, and the 2 books I've already read in November.
Yes, when I'm too tired to pull up a chair to the computer and write any more, after sitting in front of a computer for 9 hours at work, I come home and wallow in my reading.
Stuff I'm excited to tell you...
GG and I are going to see
Tim McGraw with Shmoo and his GF in a couple of weeks. Yippee! It's so appropriate since Shmoo recently admitted he has always secretly liked CW music but didn't want to let us know. Like we'd be so devastated? Heaven help us Hannah! The lengths he goes to...
Shmoo is at the halfway mark of his EMT class. It is really getting tough now. He's nervous about keeping his 80% average to stay in the class. When he's not working one of his two jobs he is studying. His GF is a sweetie and she's been cooking for him and baking cupcakes. He's so spoiled.
Beanie dressed up as his favorite super hero for Halloween and went out with a bunch of his friends who also dressed up as super heroes. They got lots of attention and people were asking them all night to take their pictures with the Justice League.
Too funny. Anyway, my own Beanie Green Lantern ended up winning a costume contest to the tune of $200. He's over the moon.
In further Beanie news... He's continuing with his stand up. He's graduated from the coffee house to a bar. Of course since he's new kid on the block he didn't go on until 12:30 AM but he was very happy with his first outing.
Now to the important stuff. I went to the bookstore yesterday and bought two copies of Ava Gray's SKIN GAME. I liked this book so much, I will be giving away these two copies from names randomly chosen from anyone who comments on this post until midnight on November 8, 2009.
I will announce the winners on Monday, November 9, 2009.
So comment away. In the meantime, I'm hoping to get my book lists caught up, my blog hopping caught up, and some reviews done.
It could happen.

Everybody who comments will be in the contest unless they specifically tell me they don't want to be.

sounds great thanks minsthins at optonline dot net
Have fun at the concert, Rosie!
I love hearing about your boys and projecting what mine will (hopefully!) be like in 15 years.
Skin Game has been on my list, so please put my name in the hat! :-)
I loved that costume idea. My kids had a group of 6 that all wanted to dress the same and came up with the idea to be smurfs. It actually was pretty cute, but I will pass along the superhero idea for next year.

Wow, thanks for the contest, Rosie! Hugs to you and hope you'll have the chance to get to most of the things on your list. Also hoping that the unimportant things will fall off the bottom of that list, guilt-free!!
Oh I'd love to have my very own copy of Skin Game!! xoxo (put your contest in my sidebar by the way)
Hope you have a great time at the Tim McGraw concert!
