Hi Friends – I hope you had a wonderful weekend. I’ve been a bit busy at work and home so that’s why my posting and blog visits have been a bit off lately but I hope to get a bit more caught up over the Thanksgiving holiday. We don’t have any family in town and the friends we used to spend Thanksgiving with are now in Sweden so it should be quiet around here. Well, some online shopping may be happening. Ha.
I know the picture I used here has nothing to do with book organizing but my husband made some chocolate turtles and these are delicious. He used a recipe from Raw Energy and he’s been busy checking out some new recipes from other books to try out some new dishes this week. I’m ready to try!
As far as the book organizing is concerned, my shelves have been overflowing and I decided to weed the stacks a bit. I have quite a few books going to Half Price Books and some to share at my next book group night. I got rid of a lot of magazines and I’m not done as I still want to tackle some of my artsy/crafty books and magazines but that may have to wait. At least I don’t have anymore books on the floor next to my shelves. They all fit (even if they are double-stacked). The hard part about book organizing is that it takes so long doesn’t it? I end up re-discovering books.
What else, we did go to EAST for some artsy fun and that was great. Unfortunately the weekend was marred by a small fender bender. I was at a stop sign in the Barnes & Noble parking lot when a car backing out didn’t see my car. Not huge damage but really a bummer to have to deal with this. At least I have a short work week and I’m very excited about that.
So what about you, what have you been up to?
Those turtles look delicious! I have a few books that need purging, but they remain stacked on a table at the moment. Sorry about your fender bender–always a bummer!
Those chocolate turtles look yummy! Speaking of books organising, I haven’t do that for a while. All my new acquisitions no longer fit onto my shelves and they’re now stacked into three columns next to my shelves, ha. Many of the books I haven’t read so I can’t give them away; and it’s always pain me to part with some of the books, no matter whatever the reason is.
Not a holiday weekend here, but I probably will do some online shopping, too. lol
Whoa! Those chocolate turtles look SO good… I just requested the book from the library!!
Oh those turtles look sooo good! Sorry about the fender bender, those are such a pain to deal with especially if you car will need repair. I need to do some weeding on my shelves. I am hoping to get to it over all of the holidays. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Our Thanksgiving will be a quiet one too. Mouse and I are home on vacation this week. We spent the morning playing school and are about to treat ourselves to lunch out (and run a few errands).
Those chocolate turtles look so good! I need to do some book organizing too and this week would be the best time to do it. It all depends on how cooperative my daughter is. Haha. I will try to enlist her help, but her attention span is pretty short. 🙂
I am sorry about the car accident. 🙁
I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving, Iliana.
Accident – boo. Guilt-free treats – yay. Making room for new books – fun.
I’m working to reignite a lapsed yoga practice and trying some new soup recipes (currently in love with a sweet potato carrot one with lots of ginger and spice), as well as reading, of course! Take care.
Those chocolate turtles look delicious!
