Where did the week go?
I'm finishing my Christmas shopping tomorrow. How 'bout you?
My brother Ned is supposed to take a HANDMADE gift to a Christmas party. I just hot-glued twine to three silver spray-painted pine cones. Is that bad?
When Hank came downstairs at 5:45 this morning, he walked into the kitchen to find me holding a cup of coffee in one hand and a bottle of bourbon in the other. Whatcha think about that???
In my defense, I was mixing up a sweet potato casserole for a dinner we're going to tonight...it called for 1/4 cup of bourbon. You didn't really think I was drinking bourbon, did you?
Ten more school days until Christmas vacation! Who's excited??
I need a good book to read...my "to read" shelf is bare. Any ideas?
Have a fabulous weekend...I know I deserve one. Don't you?

I say it'll be a twined-cone Christmas for someone. Richard from My Old Historic House.I like Bourbon!
ReplyDelete1.) no, not even close to done although I got the sister's gift exchange in the bag with some lipgloss sets from Sephora and I never left the house
ReplyDelete2.) no, I think that counts in the category of handmade
3.)You cook at 5:45 AM?? Wow. Just wow.
4.)meh, I still have to work
5.)I enjoyed Mrs. Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children and The Hunger Games trilogy
6.)I am fighting a cold/junk/cough so I hope to somewhat enjoy this weekend
Yes, 14 days for me, and I'm glad ;-). Tana French is a new mystery writer I have recently "met" - I finished In the Woods. Psychological thriller, mystery, great command of the language stylistically - but an easy read. It did take me a chapter or two to get into it, but then it had me. I love the image of you with coffee and bourbon before school. Hilarious! Xoxo
ReplyDeleteLove your blog! Try One Summer by David Baldacci. Not his usual type of book.
ReplyDelete"The Dogs I Have Met (and the People They Found" by Ken Foster. A great book if you've ever had a special dog in your life. :)

"Unbroken" by Laura Hillebrand if you haven't read it. A non-fiction page turner that will have you in tears and laughter. One of the best books I have ever read and I've read millions.
ReplyDeleteEver read any of Dorothea Benton Frank's books? She writes about places like the Low Country Islands; so does Anne Rivers Siddon. I just started reading Mary Kay Andrews's books and the last one took place in Tybee Island, Ga. It was hard to put down, once I started it. I think you would like all of the writers. Since you live in SC, they probably would really appeal to you.
