Today’s MUSING MONDAYS post is about keeping books.
Do you keep all the books you ever buy? Just the ones you love? Just collectibles? What do you do with the ones you don’t want to keep?
  There is no way I could have kept all the books I have ever read.  I have always dreamed about having a libray room with built-in floor to ceiling book cases and a few very comfortable reading chairs.  If that dream ever came true, my family would never see me, because thats where I would be.  However, even with that, I wouldn’t be able to store all of the books.  I try to pass on my books to family and friends that do enjoy reading.  If they feel that a book doesn’t interest them, I then donate to different organizations.  I could never put a book in the garbage.  That is just so wrong…to just toss it and not give someone else the opportunity to enjoy it.   I do keep those that have a personalization by the author.

This is a meme to list the books completed last week, the books currently being read, and the books to be finished this week.
  Completed: Great Book…highly recommend

This will be a very short post.  Hope everyone is having a great weekend.  Any special plans today?  Are your Sundays for relaxing or is it hectic like every other day?  I am going to take my own advice today and check off my action items from yesterday’s “To Do List” that  I didn’t accomplish.  I didn’t even open a book yesterday, which never happens.  I carried it everywhere I went but didn’t read one page.  Today will be different !!!  I will be posting a book review that I highly recommend everyone read.  It was exceptional !!!  I will be RELAXING and READING !  Hope you find time to do the same.

As I stated earlier, my day got off to a late start.  But my routine was the same, only a few hours later.  One blog that I visit daily had not posted her Aloha Friday question yesterday by the time that I signed off, so I headed straight over to her site to see what her question was so I could comment.  With coffee mug in hand and only 1/2 cup down, I started reading her new posts.  Still not fully awake I thought I saw my name…..read it again….and sure enough….my name was there.  It was like winning the gold medal !   Xmas Dolly (http://thenewxmasdolly.blogspot.com) had passed this award on to me…..

Our blogs are so different in content but through emails, we have found that we have a lot in common in “real life”.  She has a wonderful sense of humor that comes across on her blog…stop by when you get a chance.  However, I will admit, I am trying to convert her when it comes to reading.  She has promised to read at least one book and post her review on my site….only thing…she hasn’t yet said what year that will be (lol).  Now for the criteria:
The rules for accepting this award:
1.Thank the link to the person that gave you the award (I did that immediately).
2.Pass this award on to 15 bloggers you’ve recently discovered & whom you think are fantastic (since I am a new blogger, I feel that all blogs I follow fall under this category)
3.Contact said Blogs to let them know they’ve won
4.State 7 Things about yourself!
  1. “Mash” is a nickname I was given by a coworker..it is the first syllable of my last name when pronounced correctly (most people think its because I was a nurse by profession)
  2.  Talking about my name….my sis-in-law, hubby’s sister…we have the same exact name first, middle and last name
  3.  I wish I still had my last job…loved it…but had to leave due to medical reasons.
  4.  Hubby and I will be married 29 years in April (day before my surgery) and we were together 7 yrs before (started dating him when I was a senior in high school and then through college)
  5.  While in high school (school trips) I visited Italy, Spain and Africa (what an education !!)
  6.  I usually wake up between 5-6am (thats why I was off kilter today)
  7.  Favorite season is spring. 
Passing this on to (in no particular order):
     Reading At The Beach              Rundpinne   
     Booking With Bingo                 Libby’s Library News
     Bermudaonion                          The Crazy Life of a Bookaholic Mom
     Bibliophile By The Sea              Socrates Book Reviews
     Book Chick City                       Peeking Between The Pages
     I’m Booking It                          The Ladybug Lounge
     Crazy For Books                       Books Are My Magical Escape
     One Persons Journey Through A World of Books
ENJOY !!!

I usually post a lot earlier than I am today.  I got up much later than I usually do and now my routine is off kilter.  I feel like the day is gone and I haven’t accomplished anything.  And on days like this it seems that everything goes wrong on top of it.  I get so frustrated and upset with myself that I got up so late.  And to make matters worse, I had a Honey Do List but it was a list for me and I only have one action item crossed off.  Does this happen to you?  Do you have those same feelings?  It is almost time for when my newsletter gets delivered and I didn’t want it to be a blank email (lol).  So there will be installments for later today, which consists of the following: 
  1.  An award that I received
  2.  The criteria
  3.  Passing on the award
  4.  Now & Then by Jacqueline Sheehan review, which a lot of visitors have shown an interest in.
I am sorry for not being organized today.
