My weekend plans got a bit derailed as I had to go to Dallas to help my mom out with some plumbing problems we had at the house. What a nightmare but luckily everything got taken care of. So I didn’t get to do any organizing at my home, or bookbinding or much relaxing but my husband and I tried to make the best of the holiday weekend by spending the afternoon at Barnes & Noble.
I realize just how many magazines I’ve missed reading since we were on vacation. Lots of new issues are out and I want to get them all. There’s Somerset Studio, Cloth Paper Scissors, Body & Soul, Yoga Journal, Bitch, the list goes on.
I didn’t get to do much reading either and didn’t make it to the Half Price Book sale but I guess I’ll survive. So not a lot to report but I do have a book giveaway coming up this week, hopefully some reviews and actually, I won’t complain about no new books because some new books have arrived at Casa Bookgirl so I’ll tell you about those soon.
Now, for the rest of the evening I just want to hang out with a book, a glass of milk and the last bit of chocolate we brought back from Germany.
Chocolate (especially yummy German chocolate) always makes things better! Hope your mom’s plumbing problems are taken care of. And there’s always next weekend to look forward to (I know I already am! 🙂 )
Glad the plumbing problems are taken care of!
I didn’t do much reading lately either…my youngest one has been under the weather and there’re a few other stuff I need to catch up on! If only we have more than 24 hrs a day! 😛
Happy reading!
Sorry to see that your weekend plans didn’t work out as expected, but I do hope you can salvage some reading time this evening. Can’t wait to see which books landed on your doorstep recently!
I’m sorry your weekend plans didn’t work out, Iliana. It sounds like you made the best of it though. Enjoy your evening of reading!
Wait a whole minute! Back up there! You read a magazine called “Bitch”????? Please enlighten me! You just don’t seem like the bitch type! That just gave me a good chuckle before bed. I may be missing out on something here!
I love Body & Soul and Yoga Journal. As a matter of fact I have a stack of magazines I need to get to. They pile up so quickly. Have a great week with no more plumbing problems at home!
I didn’t make it to Half Price Books this weekend but I did get some serious quilting done while watching the first two Harry Potter movies. I was also looking at magazines at the grocery store the other day. I need to go to the library and read some of the recent issues – it kind of hurts to spend so much on magazines these days.
Sorry your weekend plans had to change but it sounds like you made the best of it. Good luck with your reading this week.
Danielle – Chocolate does help make things alright doesn’t it? Just a few more pieces left of our German chocolate. Boo-hoo!
Melody – I’m with you, we need more than 24 hours in the day! Hope your little one is feeling much better!
Andi – I’ve got some good ones and almost posted about them but I’m hoping maybe a couple of others arrive in tomorrow’s mail!
Literary Feline – Well, we’ve been having a movie watching marathon so I guess not much reading done today either. What is wrong with me! hee… Tomorrow for sure!
Sandy – Oh you must check out Bitch. It’s a wonderful indie, feminist magazine. I’ve been reading it for years and it’s just really interesting!
Kristy – Those are great magazines aren’t they? I always feel like I learn something from them or want to try something new!
Juliann – Oh that sounds like fun! I hope you post some pics of your quilt in progress. Would love to see that. And, yes, magazines can get pricey!
Kathleen – Thanks! I was bummed out but oh well at least things got taken care of so that’s what matters!
Sorry that you weekends planned had to change but I am glad to hear that despite the plumbing issues and rush trip to Dallas that you were able to make the most of the holiday weekend and get in some time at the bookstore.
I realize that I owe you an email too. Later today! 😉
Chocolate can cure all ills. Maybe this coming weekend will make up for the past one. 🙂
Christine – I got your email girl! 🙂 I’m going to call you soon. Luckily Dallas wasn’t too bad but it’s nice to be back in Austin. I feel like I’ve been gone for ages what with vacation and stuff!
Anna – So true isn’t it! I am already making reading plans for the weekend! haha…
MMM chocolate! Yummy!
