I'm behind....

I just wanted to put a little note out there to any previous giveaway winners....

Yup, I'm WAY behind on getting your prizes mailed.  I apologize for that and want you to know that they are on there way...Slowly but surely.


P.S. Crappy economy you can just suck it!

Book Ban's, Challenges and oh Yeah...Happy Birthday!

It's time for me to do another Book Ban.  I've been doing pretty good recently.  I think that I've only bought 3 books in the past couple of months.  But there are a LOT of books out there that are coming out soon that I REALLY want and I need to read some of my own books and find new homes for the ones that don't rock my socks off.

I started the Read Your Own Books challenge really as a challenge for myself to read more of my own books...since at the time I had an overflowing bookcase and an under-the-bed storage box full of books.  I'm really happy to see that others are participating as well.

Oh and big shocking revelation.....I went through all the books that I had in my room and now have 3 bags of books to either donate or find new homes for.

And one last thing before I go....TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY!  I'm officially 27 today.  I could have done without the freezing rain and sleet but it's still been a pretty good day so far.

Scene's from our Blizzard

So I live in the Great White Midwest...More specifically...Wisconsin.  Since Monday it has been pretty much snowing non-stop here with the exception of about 10 hours...But that was before the REAL blizzard showed up and raised all sorts of hell.  Below are some scenes from the blizzard.  

 The little bit of green you can see is a flower window basket attached to the side of our deck and the post is the corner post of our deck...We have a covered deck so that my mom could have a porch swing.  As you can see at about 3:15 this morning the snow was as high as our deck and it's not supposed to end until later this morning.

 This is the same corner post just a different angle.  The red thing is a shovel...we have to dig out a path/area for our dogs to do their business.  Again it's deck high on this side too.

The snow depth according to our patio window.

SO BUSY!

I am soooo busy!  So I haven't had a lot of reading time lately between work and knitting some Christmas presents I've been UBER busy.  Hopefully everyone is having a Happy and Safe Holiday season?!  We just survived our first BLIZZARD of the year here in Wisconsin.  I've been hearing on the news that all over the country there has been "interesting" weather lately. 

I won't be back to blogging regularly until after the New Year....So early Happy New Year everyone!

10 days and counting!

I'm more than likely going to be scarce around the blog world for the next 2 weeks or so.  See my brother is FINALLY (they've been engaged for about 4 years) marrying his loverly fiancee on the 17th and we're in Full On Wedding Mode here at our house.  Now I can HARDLY WAIT for the day to get here!
