Thursday Memes

THURSDAY
Hi everyone!!!!  I’m back from vacation and missed each and everyone of you.  We had a WONDERFUL time and both hubby and I wished we had planned a longer stay because the week flew by.  I have so much to tell you.  We took some beautiful pictures of the island and will share them in a couple of days.  We got in very early this morning so today’s plans are to get settled, unpack, laundry, catch up on both email and snail mail and another huge task, especially for me.
As you all know, I am computer challenged, and I mentioned that my very special hubby was dropping my laptop off the day before leaving for vacation to the Geek Squad to do an overhaul……..well……they ran a diagnostic test when he was there and the news was not good.  I had fried it!!!!  So…..he purchased a new one for me and supposedly the Geek Squad was going to transfer all my files to the new laptop and Steve will be picking it up today……so I will be spending quite a bit of time trying to figure out the new one.
As for Aruba…paradise.   The weather gorgeous..between 88-92 every day.  I am multi colored between burnt,  burn on burn, tanned.   Loved those frozen pina coladas and frozen banana daiquiris!!!  Met 2 fun couples on the beach and hung out with them every day, matter of fact, we are all going to try and plan to go back the same week next year.  One night we took a sunset 2 hour sunset cruise, which Steve was able to take some absolutely beautiful pictures and video of the sun setting.  And for the big question……….NO…I was unable to convert Steve into a reader.  He never even took the Kindle out of the luggage.  I did get some reading in…read  1 and 3/4 books, but we were having so much fun, my plans for beach, reading and frozen drinks changed after the 2nd day there.  By Saturday it was beach, frozen banana daiquiris, a little bit of reading   lol.
Will share more in the coming days, including pictures but for now, am going to start catching up.  
Have one favor to ask, would love to hear what you have been doing this past week.  What you have read?  What you have been doing?  Any news with you that I may have missed?  Anything that you would like to share with me to bring me up to speed? Would love to hear…being away for a week I feel like I missed so much.
This is a palapa, which everyday at 4pm, guests at the Radisson, where we stayed, would reserve one for the next day.  It is a necessity being so close to the equator and the sun so strong that after 15 minutes or so in the sun, you have to put your lounge chair under it for shade,

Teaser Tuesday

TUESDAY
Photobucket
Hosted by Miz B at Should Be Reading

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
*Grab your current read
*Open to a random page
*Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
*BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
*Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!


“In your own words, I’d like you to tell me why you think the Campsite Killer is your biological father and the details of the phone calls you received recently.”  Her serious tone made me even more nervous and my heart sped up.

Monday Memes

MONDAY

May is being hosted by Mari from Mari Reads
Mailbox Monday was created by Marcia of A girl and her books and is now on tour.
According to Marcia, “Mailbox Monday is the gathering place for readers to share the books that came into their house last week. Warning: Mailbox Monday can lead to envy, toppling TBR piles and humongous wish lists.”
 I would like to thank Mari for hosting one of my favorite memes this month.   Thank You Mari!!
If you have followed my blog over this past year, you know that I have become a HUGE fan of Vincent Zandri’s.  I read all of his books and have been patiently waiting for his newest novel to be released.  He surprised me last week by sending me the galley of this book and I can’t wait to start it.  Thank you Vin for the honor of entrusting me with and allowing me to read and review the galley.  I will let everyone know what I think and when it will be available for you to enjoy too.  If it is anything like his other books, I’m in for a treat!!!!
