Hasta Pronto

Nightstand May 20, 2007

I’m off on a last minute trip to see my family in Monterrey! I’m so excited as I haven’t been down there in years. My family has been to see me lots of times but I’ve missed visting them.

I leave Monday and will return later this week but I probably won’t post until after the Memorial Day holiday. Hopefully I’ll have some pictures to share.

Now, I need to hurry up and pack some books for the trip. I hope you all have a great week and Hasta Pronto!

Nightstand May 17, 2007

Well, nothing much to report today. I’ve been feeling a bit like a zombie as I had to take some allergy medicine. Oh I hate that but at least I’m not sneezing.

I’m still working on the same books I told you about on Monday. I can’t seem to find time this week to do some major reading. Hopefully this weekend I will get to catch up quite a bit.

For those of you who enjoy a good mystery and/or are doing the Summer Mystery reading challenge, check out Deadly Pleasures. My library used to carry this magazine but they stopped and I thought the magazine had gone under. Luckily they are still publishing and if you check out the web site you can download one of their recent issues! It’s a great source for mystery book reviews and news.

Have a fantastic weekend!

Jenclair and Matt tagged me on the 8 Random Facts/Habits About You meme.
The rules –

  • Each player starts with 8 random facts/habits about themselves.
  • People who are tagged, write a blog post about their own 8 random things, and post these rules.
  • At the end of your post you need to tag 8 people and include their names.
  • Don’t forget to leave them a comment and tell them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.

1. I used to play the violin. Sadly my violin has been neglected for years and years.
2. My dad was a chef and my mom a seamstress. I can’t cook nor sew.
3. I’m an only child. Was I spoiled rotten? Not in material things but definitely given lots of attention.
4. I love to wear jewelry. Nothing fancy just funky necklaces, dangly earrings, etc. but I don’t wear a watch. I haven’t worn one in 6-7 years and I don’t miss it.
5. One day I want to live in Germany.
6. I love to learn new things and take classes. On my list of things I want to learn are: papermaking, silkscreen printing, sewing, jewlery beading, and the list goes on.
7. I started wearing glasses when I was 12 and was so super happy when I got contacts at 17.
8. I’m a pen junkie. Colored pens, ball-point, gel, and dare I say even glitter ink ones. I can never have enough.

    Next I’m tagging:
    Andi – Estella’s Revenge
    Nancy – Live.Love.Read
    Tanabata – In Spring it is the Dawn
    Heather – A High and Hidden Place
    Danielle – A Work in Progress
    Dark Orpheus – Orpheus Sings the Electric Guitar
    aka Nik – Keep this on the DL
    Melissa – Book Nut
