Bloggiesta is Coming! Goals

http://www.bloggiesta.com/2014/03/bloggiesta-spring-2014-sign-ups/
Yeah!  Bloggiesta is starting this weekend!
I have a few million things I want to do this time around on both blogs.  I think I can knock out the first 5 in no time the other list might take a day or more.  I wish I could lock myself in my place to get this all done but I have several things going on this weekend as well.  Boot Camp early Saturday morning then in the afternoon Dancing at the Culver City Drum Circle.  Somewhere in there I am going to eat and shower too!

Sunday Delight: Never Enough Time


Last week, I was whining about Daylight Saving Time kicking my butt. Now that I have had a few days to think about it, I have a new solution about it. Honestly, it has nothing to do with an hour coming or going. I just have to much to do and there is not enough time. PERIOD! If I could function on 4 hours of sleep a day then I still would not have enough time. I think I would blog during the night when you all are sleep and that would only free up a few hours a week. I might read and that would get me ahead by two or three books a month. Hmm! From 8 to 4. Nope. I love sleep way to much. WAY TOOO MUCCH!!

Here and Now

Time: 1:32 pm (Saturday)
Drinking: Jasmine Green Tea with honey
Eating: Nothing
Listening To: Baby Boy Radio on Pandora. I made this station years ago based on the song Baby Boy by Beyoncé.
Watching: I have watched two episodes of +Resurrection so far and I am slight losing my love for it. The first episode was great. Number 2 was so-so. But then I saw the preview for tonight's episode and I am not as thrilled with it as I was before. But I will watch it and I think I will start the book The Returned next week as well.
I have also been watching a lot of make-up videos on +YouTube . I don't have much experience and these people (male and female) are doing some magic that I just have to learn. Watch this video. This is the one that started my newest addiction to make-up videos.  Simply amazing!  I love this video so much!

Thoughtful Thursday: Series Reading

Pam over at Reading Is Fun Again started this meme to get a book blogger thoughts on a few bookish things.  You know how much I love sharing my thoughts/opinions on stuff, so I thought it would be perfect to add my two cents in too! And stop by Pam's blog to see her new and cute blog design.
I created Thoughtful Thursday, because bookish thoughts kept popping up in my mind while reading, and I wanted to explore these questions and get your opinions too! -From Reading Is Fun Again

  Thoughtful Thursday Question 

How do you read a book series? (Do you read each book as it comes out? Do you wait for a few books to come out in a series before starting it? Do you wait until the entire series is out and marathon it? Do you reread all of the books that are currently out before you read the next one?)

New Reading Challenge: Sequel Spring

http://wordsinateacup.wordpress.com/2014/03/16/sequel-spring-%E2%80%A2-march-20th-june-20th-reading-challenge/
Hosted by Words in a Teacup

Yes, I have joined yet another reading challenge.  This one is short and will last for the Spring only.  As you may have read last year, I have started reading too many books in a series and I honestly need to finish at least some of them before I start another series.  That was last year and since that time I posted "My Incomplete Series List" the revelation with the un-Godly amount of books to be read I have added a few more, so this reading challenge is coming right on time for me.

Here are the rules
  • This challenge will run from the beginning to the end of spring: March 20th to June 20th 2014.
  • The goal is to read as many sequels as possible.
  • A “sequel” is any book that is part of a series, apart from the first one. So prequels and midquels would also count. Anything goes, the only restriction is no standalone novels and no first books in a series.
  • If we start a new series during the challenge period, the second (and third, and fourth…) book in that series will count for Sequel Spring.

Sunday Delight: More Sunlight

Daylight saving time kicked my butt. But I love the extra sunlight.  I just need to get outside and enjoy it more.  I am really looking forward to spring cleaning this year for some reason.  I want to clean EVERYTHING and throw out as much as I can.  I might host a giveaway of books on my shelf I no longer want but I want them to go to a good house. 

Here and Now

Time: 7 am
Drinking: Water
Eating:  I think I'll make a bowl of hot oatmeal when I finish this post.
Listening To:  Zero 7 on Pandora again!  This is my go to station for the early morning hours.  Around 10am I change it up. Here is a video of the song I am listening to now. "Destiny"

Watching:  I saw +Resurrection last week and I have to say that it kinda lived up to my expectations.  I am looking forward to watching it again tonight.
