Slapdash Sunday

CMash May 2, 2010 5 Comments

Good Morning All. It is another summer like day in New England. Our windows are opened, the birds are chirping, hubby and I have read the paper with our mugs of coffee. Just a perfect Sunday morning. And now onto Sunday’s meme:

Slapdash Sunday is a day for your proverbial week ‘leftovers.’ Is there something you wanted to say, but just forgot? Is there something you want to write about, but isn’t worth a whole page? Do you have a random thought, funny or otherwise that needs to be written down?
That is what Slapdash Sunday is for!
This past week I started resubscribing to book blog email newsletters. I had subscribed to so many that I feared my mailbox would be filled in a matter of days while I was in the hospital. So prior to being admitted, I unsubscribed. So here are my questions:

How many email newsletters do you subscribe to? What makes you choose one over another? Or do you not subscribe to any and just use your google reader to see whats going on in book blogging land?

What are your thoughts on this topic? Let’s have a Slapdash

!!!!!

What a glorious day here in New England. I was up early with the windows opened, coffee mug in hand, reading my email newsletters, a perfect Saturday morning. It is supposed to go up to the high 80s today…woohoo..summer is almost here !!!! Nagging started for hubby to open the pool lol. Today my plans are to update some items on blog then head over to my recliner and read, wish I could sit outside and read but summer furniture not out yet. What are your plans for today? Is it feeling like summer where you live? What are you currently reading? Try to make some time to have a RELAX & READ Saturday !!!!

Friday is a busy meme day…so let’s get started and have fun !!!!

Hosted by An Island Life http://islandlife808.com/

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:

With summer right around the corner, what are your favorite things about this season?

My favorite things are not having to wear heavy clothing, having the windows open and hearing the birds chirping early in the morning, the mini vacations we take to Cape Cod, but most of all, relaxing by or sitting in our pool with a book.

Every day I seem to find another book blog that I start following. In the spirit of the Friday Follow, I thought it would be cool to do a Book Blog Hop to give us all bookies a chance to connect and find new blogs that we may be missing out on! It will also give blog readers a chance to find other book blogs that they may not know existed!
So, if you’d like to participate, just repost this on your blog, sign MckLinky on her site, and check out other blogs in MckLinky! Let’s connect and make new book bloggy friends!! So, if you consider yourself a book blogger, come join the fun!
Pretty please – Your blog should have content related to books, including, but not limited to book reviews.

And…here we go!

1. I was missing my laptop and blogging while in hospital.

2. I ran some errands and I left my book on the table, which I never do, can’t leave home without a book!

3. Why does it seem that morals and courtesy have disappeared?.

4. Hubby was in my thoughts today.

5. One of my father’s favorite sayings was “diamonds are an investment”.

6. Feeling naked without a book–I know that feeling!

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to resting, tomorrow my plans include reading and resting and Sunday, I want to do something but will have to rest and read, can’t do much else while recuperating!
