The weekend is finally here and I’m so happy. It’s been a long week at work as we are in the middle of some big projects and I’m still not getting the best sleep but change is coming soon so that’s something I’m very excited about and will share with you later.
In the meantime, I keep disappearing from the blog and blogland and I don’t like it but I refuse to blog when I don’t feel like it. Then it feels like chore doesn’t it? Anyway, eventually I’ll get my routine back.
So this weekend one thing I’m very excited about is the Austin International Poetry Festival. There are readings, slams and even workshops going on at various locations throughout the weekend. I hope to at least go to one reading.
What else? There is also Dewey’s Read-A-Thon which I won’t be joining unfortunately but hope those of you who are participating have a blast. I can’t wait to read some of the reports of books read, total hours, and snacks consumed. Hee.
Oh yes, and the other disappearing act is that I believe our Borders bookstores are closing their doors this weekend so I may just have to go once more.
Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
Have a great weekend. The Poetry will be a blast. It is so sad to see your favourite book shop close.

>>I so understand where you’re coming from! But that’s the nice thing about feed readers, isn’t it?
Ooooh, the International Poetry Festival sounds fantastic! Have a great time. And totally understand about the disappearing acts. You’re right that blogging shouldn’t be a chore. Too often we put too much pressure on ourselves! Take care, Iliana! 😉
I’m glad things will be changing soon, and I hope you have a chance to catch up on your sleep! It’s no fun feeling tired all the time.
I hope you have good changes coming! I’ve not been feeling like being online too much lately either. And breaks can be good! Sad about Borders, but I hope you found some goodies.
Well, I haven’t had a chance to even consider starting Among Others yet, so in a way, it is good you have been busy. 🙂
Now you’ve got me super curious about the big change you’re going to tell us about!
I disappear a lot too and I agree that blogging shouldn’t feel like a chore.
vivienne – I actually didn’t get to go to Borders again but I already miss it. I know there are still some around in parts of Texas so whenever I get a chance to travel somewhere else I’ll have to drop in 🙂
Eva – Indeed! Granted my feed reader is bursting but slowly working through it and trying not to miss any big announcements!
Trish – It was really fun. I only went to one event but it was inspiring. I need to add more poetry to my life!
Dorothy W. – Me too! My commute and just work in general is insane. When the weekends get here I’m running around like a mad woman to get things done and then it’s monday all over again. Definitely working on having a more balanced life.
Danielle – I do. I’m excited and will share soon 🙂 I love being online for the most part but I’m just drained after work and my commute so usually all I want to do is curl up with a book. I miss blogging and stuff so I hope that with the changes coming things will get a bit better.
Kailana – Me either 🙂 I hope we can start it maybe towards the end of May? Good thing we have a while! haha…
Carrie K. – Well, it’s nothing terribly exciting blog-wise but on a personal note it is a good change 🙂
Kathleen – This is our outlet for having fun right? Definitely should not feel like a chore!
