MONDAY

December is being hosted by Lady Q from Let Them Read Books

Mailbox Monday was created by Marcia of The Printed Page 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.”
Before I share my mailbox with you, I would like to give a big Thank You to Lady Q who is graciously hosting Mailbox Monday for the month of December. This past week was a slow one for my mail carrier and am pretty sure she was happy about it lol.

Monday 11/29/10

From The Hachette Book Club

Hosted by Java from Never Growing Old

“Meet Me On Monday!”
From Java:
Blogging is a funny thing…we tell our most intimate thoughts for all to read and yet most of the time I find myself sitting and wondering, “who is this person!?” I know them…but yet I don’t know them! I want to know who the person is behind all those words so I thought of a great way for all of us to “meet” each other!

Questions:

1. What is your favorite kind of cheese?

Mozzarella, BUT like all foods, there is never

just one favorite for me. American, cheddar

provolone are some others I enjoy.

2. What size is your bed?

Queen

3. What is your most overused phrase?

It would be “Really?”

4. Green or purple grapes?

and seedless

5. Shower, morning or night?

Night…this way I have extra time in the morning

Slapdash Sunday

Slapdash Sunday Topic: Time

SUNDAY

Hosted by Kayla at The Eclectic Element 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!

TODAY’S TOPIC: ALLOCATING TIME

It has been a busy past 2 days and have not been on the computer much nor have I read, which means I am, once again, behind. It started Friday when hubby and I drove the 1+ hour drive to see the doctor for my post op visit (got very little bit reading done because hubby was in a talkative mood), x-rays then waited 2 hours (got a bit of reading done then) to see the surgeon.

The doc has revoked his mandates. I am now able to drive short distances and to attempt minor household chores (wish this restriction had stayed in place lol). I admit that I got spoiled by not having to do housework and could spend the majority of my time blogging and reading.

And yesterday, hubby and I spent the whole day moving and settling my mom and sister into a new assisted living facility. I am the latter part of the baby booming era and the sole person responsible for them both.

Which takes me to today’s topic. I know how much time it takes to keep up my blog, check my google reader for all current news and events, visit other blogs and read from my tbr requests pile . Today I will try to catch up with my blog to-dos, drafting posts and giveaways, hopefully posting another one and try to get some reading in. I also feel that I might have missed out on things since I haven’t even checked my google reader in the past couple of days.

I am wondering….how do you allocate your time to do everything? Do you have a routine as to how much time goes into blogging, reading, chores? Do you do find that there is a “good time” to be on the computer for not missing out on “specials” or “giveaways” when the call goes out for reviews? Do you blog in between doing chores? What is your schedule or do you even have one?
So……..let’s have a Slapdash Share…..how do you do it all? Am looking forward to hearing your thoughts on this topic!!!

SATURDAY

Hosted by Danielle at There’s A Book

From Danielle’s blog:
We all leave our “footprint” on the world, in one way or another. We each, individually, do something or are someone that makes the world a little better just by being here. I created this weekly meme to get to know the blogging community I love just a bit better. To know what makes them tick, outside of books, that is. Each week I will post a question to be answered in the following week’s “A Bit of Me(Me)”. Check back each Saturday to get the info for next week’s post and link up with your current post right here.

This week’s question: What is your favorite cookie?

Oh…that Danielle…what a silly, silly girl!!!!!

She did ask for favorite? Favorite? As in just one?

I have not yet met a cookie that I didn’t like!!!!
