Hi, my name is...................

Loryn and I am a bookaholic. Some of you know this, some of you don't care. I am the one you see reading at red lights. My book is always somewhere within arms reach. I have a panic attack if I am almost out of book.

Even homeschooling 3 hooligans, I manage to read about a book a day.

Today was a *lost* day. The book I was reading was so good that I actually did dishes with the book open on the counter. Same for drying hair, etc.

Now I am bumming because I am done with it and I know the next book I will start just won't quite measure up.......................

The Color of Law by Mark Gimenez. I would suggest that anyone looking to *lose* a day pick this one up.

Wednesdays...........

Wednesdays are when my wonderful hs group meets. I truly do mean the wonderful part.

We have a local church that lets us use there basement/play area in the winter.

It takes a day or two to decompress after 4 hours of the joyful sounds of happy kids in an area with really bad accoustics. Seriously, I can still hear all of them.

I also have to bring 3 of them home with me, geez, can't get a break.

Winter has barely begun and I am already seriously looking forward to park days!

Still lacking a spreadsheet.

However, Chris did manage to get home early enough for me to get some Hanukah shopping done. The kids still believe in the Hanukah Fairy, so it makes it a bit hard. I think I got about 3/4 of the way done. How's that for power shopping?

I guess I won't have to dump my kids on the hs group tomorrow after all;)

Pooey on Cyber Monday!

I had really hoped that I would have oodles of order from my Amazon storefront today. Not only did I have no orders, I had to rip out about half a skein from my Dad's scarf.

Note to self: do not crochet while seriously involved in a movie.

Poor hubby does not have a day off until December 3rd. Hanukah starts on the night of the 4th. I still have to shop. This so sucks!

WARNING: I might have to abandon them at HS group. (To sneak out and shop). Guess I won't see Renee or Christine this week:)

A skein a day

is going to drive me crazy.

This is the amount I have to crochet per day if I am going to get all these holiday projects done in time. Hanukah is the first week of December this year. My in-laws decided, just this week, to have the family get together on December 15th. Then there is the rest of the people who I need gifts for on the actual week of Christmas.

Top that by being sickish all this week.

This year I was very thankful that, for the first time in 8 years, Thanksgiving dinner was not at my house! I drug myself to our friends house, sat around, and fell asleep on the couch.

I am thankful for a wonderful husband who did the cooking that I was supposed to, loaded all up, and basically took care of everything, kids included, without instructions. That is truly hard to find.

This day SO sucks.

That said, I won't go into gory details. I don't even know that I can right now.

Lets just say that I have no alcohol in the house, tomorrow is my birthday, and my neighbors dog died in my lap about an hour ago.

I guess I never should have asked for the milk.

Also, to follow a friend's brilliant idea: Tampax, Always, Bandaid, Coors Light, Jose Ceurvo, Puffs Plus. Send away folks, I have a need for all of these!

If this post makes sense to you, you must know how I think.

Hmmmm, methinks there is an issue here......

So, I added AdSense to The Blog. Somehow some super computer somewhere is churning out advertisers and scanning your/my blog for relevant content and matching the two. So, on my 2 ads that are showing has there been anything about headaches, books, milk..........

Nope, they have all been about ways to relieve anxiety.

Ready for that Jack and Diet now!
