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!

I was so excited the other day when I saw, in my google reader, the perfect challenge for me.  I was lucky that I even caught it!!!!!  For a few days before that, I had been trying to catch up with all my blog/computer to-dos after our little road trip to see our son, that I didn’t even have the time to check out my google reader.  So, the low wattage bulb  (lol)  went on and thought that this would be a good topic for today!!  A day to share!!! ………

………Have I missed some?  Has someone posted that a certain challenge will be in place for 2011 but linky list is not up yet and I missed that too?  Are you in the same position as me, that you are preparing and/or trying to prepare for your 2011 Challenges?    Have you joined any challenges for 2011?  Which ones?  If you did, could you also provide the blog’s site link?  Do you know or have you seen any others that you would like to share?  
So instead of a discussion, I thought we could have a Slapdash Share !!!!

And I just found two more, one I have already signed up for and the other sign up will be posted for sign up on Dec. 1st:

  Hi Everyone!!!!  Not sure if anyone noticed I was gone for a few days, but if you did, I’m back  lol.
  Hubby and I took a road trip to PA to visit our youngest son, Mark and his gf, Jess.  Mark knows that hubby loves Pink Floyd and there was a sold out concert for all 3 performances, but, he managed to get tickets at a decent price, so we drove down on Thursday.  It was our 1st time to visit him since he moved there, couldn’t go sooner because of my surgeries, so we were excited to go.  The 5 hour drive was a bit rough on my back but I passed the time reading and finished a book (now need to write the review).  I thought that I would, at least, check my emails and blog, but we didn’t even take our laptops out of the trunk. That’s not to say that I didn’t have blog withdrawals lol.
  Thursday night the kids picked us up at the hotel and we went to supper.  Jess dropped off the boys at the concert (Jess and I aren’t fans of Pink Floyd) and then dropped me back at the hotel.  I, was unable to do much else that day because of the discomfort, and we knew that Friday was going to be a long day.
  Friday we drove to where Mark and Jess live, and loved it!!!!  The complex is huge and its like a resort with everything they have access to.  An indoor pool, gym, restaurant, daily activities, huge outdoor pool, etc., etc.  They then took us on a tour of Philly, to see many of the historical sites.  And of course, we had to see the stairs at the Museum, where Rocky Balboa ran to the top.  Hubby said that he was going to run those stairs with no problem, UNTIL he saw them.  So instead Mark took a picture of him in front of the statue.  Friday night we went to dinner at another historical restaurant that was built around 1850.  It was quaint, had a small seating capacity, the fireplace was lit, and the food was delicious.  Jess’ mom made the arrangements and the 6 of us, the kids and Jess’ parents had a wonderful evening. 
  And yesterday, back on the road to come home. 
  So since I never even took out the laptop, and have so much to catch up on, and it is Slapdash Sunday,  My question and topic today is:

Today’s Topic:  Remembering
My bloggy friend Bev from My Reader’s Block, if you haven’t been by her blog, you really should stop by.  Her postings are incredible!!  OK…where was I?  Oh I remember now….as I was saying, Bev participates in a meme entitled Top Ten Tuesday whereas a book related question is asked and the blogger selects their top ten.  For example, one week it was “Top Ten Books That Made You Cry”.   Hmmmmmmm  Remember?  Ten?  So it got me thinking……..

Today’s Topic:  Changes for 2011?
December/January will be one year of book blogging/reviewing for me.  I have learned so much about this new world, mostly from all of you, who answered my endless questions, but feel that I am doing something wrong as far as time allotment.  Take reviews for an example.  I draft it until I make edits after edits and even some more edits.  I post it on the main post of blog,  cut and paste for my Navigation Tab, cut and paste for the following GR, LT, and shelfari.  It seems like it takes me forever.  Am I doing this issue wrong?  Where do you post all of your reviews.

I have also learned that I won’t be entering into so many challenges.  Thinking back, I thought it would be a breeze and that I could get all of the challenges completed, or if not, maybe close.    I really thought that requests for reviews would be scarce.  WRONG!!  I think I also have to modify my “Review Policy” but not sure how to do this and be fair at the same time.  Say you get a book that is being published around 00/00/00 but some indie authors have also contacted you to read and review their book a month before.  Do you read the ones with dates first, and push the indie author down on the list?  I thought that if I read and reviewed as they were delivered to my house, it would be the accommodating to all and somewhat fair, but not sure if that is right!!

As you know I participate in many memes sometimes 4 in a day.  I usually do a separate post for each meme.  Since it is you,  the wonderful people that visit and comment, I was wondering, would you rather I put all the memes in one post or separate them as I do now?

One more thing,  I enjoy this meme because the topic can be anything you want it to be.  Would you be interested in something like this, with a little bit different twist, name, (would have to come up with the icon but I am getting better at that) and make it a blog hop.  I think it would be interesting what “Topic” others would want to talk about on their blog.  I usually respond to comments via email but with this meme, I respond from the blog so that it is a “discussion”.  Just a thought to see if you would be interested. I would love to host it.
I have loved every minute since joining this community but still consider myself a novice.  Any  advice, ideas and/or suggestions that you think I should change, stay status quo, do differently, etc etc,. would be greatly appreciated.  This is not only my blog, but your’s too.  You are the wonderful people that visit and leave the fantastic, thoughtful, funny and interesting comments.  2011 is just 2 months away so want to start on my new year’s resolutions/changes.

BTW….I LOVE Reese’s Peanut Butter cups!!!  So if anyone has any leftovers, you know where to find me, and trust me, they will be enjoyed and not go to waste!!!  Happy Halloween!!!
