My Monday Mood

I'm headed back to work today after two weeks off. We have a lot to do...education is important work and not for the faint of heart. I'll share some photos of my new office as soon as I get it all situated.

So...oddly, my Monday mood is good. I'm hopeful that the new school year will be a successful one. I'm also in a simplifying kind of mood.

I've GOT to simplify. We have too many books in our house. There are MORE at Mother's house. Well...really, one can never have TOO many, and I do buy particular books that I carefully keep...signed firsts of my favorite authors and so forth. Anyway...Hank and I always have some books lying around that we've read and enjoyed a lot, but that we don't particularly want to keep forever.

I'm going to give away these gently used books...All you need to do is leave a comment that you'd like one and you're entered in the drawing. Spread the joy! If there is one in particular that you want for your very own worse than ANYthing, say so in your comment. If nobody else whose name is drawn wants it also, then I'll send it to you. If we have more than one person who wants a particular book then I'll have to give them away in the order they're listed below as the names are drawn. I think I'll do this every one in awhile. Next time some that might be more appealing to the gentlemen in blogland.
I'll draw the names this Friday, July 17, in the evening so let's set 5:00 PM as the cut off to enter.





Let's have some FUN!

  1. Glad shopping with your mom and Ned went well - tried clicking on a couple of times this weekend but got the dreaded "operation aborted" message - what is up with that? I thought it was mostly blogs that used Mr. Linky.

    Anyway, since I have such hair angst, I think the first book by Dixie Cash, "my heart may be broken, BUT my hair still looks great" sounds like an interesting read.

    What a great way to downsize and pay it forward!

  4. Darn, I thought we could just all come by with boxes, but it is mighty sweet of you to offer the books by mail. The Dixie Cash book would be to my liking. Pick me, pick me, pick me!!! Sorry, my manners got away from me for a moment.

    Have a wonderful first day back at work.

  5. I want that Dixie Cash book too! I'm sorry you have to go back to work today, but I'm glad you're in a good mood about it. I'm looking at 6 more weeks and then I'll be joining the "educationally aggravated and secretly depressed about having to go back to work" group too! Hahah!
    Enjoy your day today!

  6. The Dixie Cash book looks good so put me down for that one. Actually, anything would be fine, I love to read and never make time so that would be a good excuse: I won it so I have to read it.
    Have a great week back to work.

  17. Sounds like fun!!! Please count me in. Cathy Pickens would be a great read.

    We need to start a book swap. Everyone has a stack of books that they have read and re-read - we need to start a blogger's bookmobile. If you liked a book - pass it on. I have always hated just putting books in a box or stacking them in a bookcase just to be forgotten. I guess the "old teacher" in me comes out. Books are far too precious to let them sit around and not be enjoyed.

    I am sure there is a way to do this, not sure how, but it would probably be fun and cost effective for all of us avid readers.

  19. Hey Belle- I have just recently popped back in for some good ol' mom time online, and I had to stop by and get me a great dose of Belle!

    Saw the Shopping with Mother and Ned post and commented then I checked this post out! I LOVE giveaways!!! Please put me in the pot as well!

    I like the looks of "Hush My Mouth" by Cathy Pickles but if my name is picked I'll be excited and grateful for whichever one you see fit to pass on!! :}

    Good luck to everyone and Happy Picking ;}
