Did everyone enjoy Super Bowl Sunday?  Did your team win?  What were your favorite commercials?
 We laughed at the Dorito ones, especially the dog and the bark collar and I just love the ETrade commercials with the little ones sitting in front of a computer…Adorable !!
  Now on to memes….One Persons Journey Through A World of Books is now hosting “Its Monday, What Are You Reading…..Thank You for hosting Sheila !!

Today’s MUSING MONDAYS post is about a random book. I’ve seen several bloggers mention reading multiple books this week. Do you frequently read more than one book at a time? Do you try to limit this to a certain number? Do you have different books for different purposes/topics?
I always have, and still do, read just one book at a time.  I feel that once I start a book, especially those for pure enjoyment, I want to give that read my full attention.  I would be afraid that if I read more than one, I would have to reread pages to recall characters, plot, etc.  I want to thoroughly enjoy my current read.

Happy Super Bowl Sunday !!!!!!  What are your plans today?  Do you enjoy football?
                                             
I am not a sports fan but I usually just watch for the new commercials.  Hubby is making his “famous chili and we will have other picky food.  In between the commercials I will be reading, eating and listening to my guys yelling at the tv.
                                             
I think I have most of kinks out of my Feedburner newsletter, at least I hope so.  I am not sure if you need to resubscribe as it might be a different code.
                                               
For those who aren’t watching the game, then try to have a Relax and Read Sunday!  Happy Reading all!

Doors Open by Ian Rankin  (Rating 0)

Published by Reagan Arthur Books/Little, Brown and Company
ISBN 978-0-316-02478-5
At the request of The Hachette Book Club, a HC copy was sent, at no cost to me, for my honest review.
  Synopsis:  (From the book’s jacket) Three friends descend upon an art auction. Software mogul Mike Mackenzie wants something money can’t buy. Banker Allan Cruickshank is burdened by a painful divorce. And Robert Gissing, an art professor, is frustrated by paintings hidden away in private hands. In a conversation over drinks, the three seize on an impossible, unthinkable, suddenly inevitable idea: steal the art. There has to be a way.
  My opinion and rating: This is my opinion and my opinion only. I was unable to finish this book. I read close to 75 pages and nothing pulled me in to the storyline. I had to keep rereading paragraphs due to fact that I found it to be boring. I am used to reading mysteries and/or suspense where there is something gripping within the first few chapters and that wasn’t the case with this book. Mr. Rankin is a best selling author and I am sure that other’s will have a different opinion of Doors Open but for this reader, it was not something I enjoyed.  (Rating 0)

First I want to say to those affected by this snow storm, please stay safe !!
I have my post-it ready for my “to do list Saturday”.  Since I have CRS, I usually lose my list so when I came across this site for computer “post its” it had my name written all over it.
                                               
Today the level of pain, certain weather conditions intensifies my pain, is not a good day.  Between the pain, and trying once again to try and figure out why my newsletter subscription is not working, this may be me in a few hours.  LOL  I believe that if you find humor in every situation then it just isn’t as bad as you thought. 
                                             
Hopefully later I will be in my reading chair, relaxing and enjoying my current read.
Happy Saturday all!!

Talk & Thoughts 
*Today my posts will be in red, as you see, for Womens’ Heart Disease…GO RED DAY
*I had some comments that my feedburner subscrition is now working….not sure how that happened because I deleted and tried starting from scratch…I understand, however, that there are some glitches, which I will try to figure out later today.  To those bloggy friends…thank you for letting me know.
*So it finally happened yesterday…my luck ran out with reading good books, that are requested reviews.  I tried to push through the book but it just wasn’t happening.  I thought that writing my 1st requested review was hard…but this upcoming review will take much thought.  How do you handle such reviews?  Do you feel bad telling the publisher/author that you just didn’t enjoy their book?  I will do my best….
*I will be skipping “Friday Follow” today.  I need to spend time trying to fix and finish this feedburner set up.

From An Island Life: In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would take it easy on posting, too. Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response.
If you’d like to participate, visit An Island Life answer the question and then post your own question on your blog and leave your link below. Don’t forget to visit the other participants! It’s a great way to make new bloggy friends!
My question is:
     What do you think is (are) your best trait(s)?
I would say listening and when someone confides in me and asks not to tell anybody, I don’t, so I would also say loyalty.  Physically it would be my eyes.

2. January is the longest month.
3. You can’t help but thank you for asking.
4. Ice cream sundaes; bring it on!
5. Where have you looked for your glasses? (something that is said often to my hubby)
6. I think my newsletter is now available.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to our “quality” time with hubby, tomorrow my plans include waiting to see if we get this snow storm, laundry, computer time and reading and Sunday, I want to RELAX & READ!
