Some chit chat.

Last week I was talking about how I’m working two jobs while finishing out my notice. Well, they talked me out of not quitting my old job. I know. I know. I’m easy. LOL But, I choose which days I can work as my other job will keep me pretty busy. I work weekends there though so I have some week days off. Why not make some money. LOL This is a trial basis though. My new job is most important and if I find I’m too tired or stressed trying to do both, I’ll quit the old job. Or just not work shifts there every week. Maybe every other. We’ll see.

Now, I’ve started hands on training. I’m working and learning at the same time. I’m not a spring chicken. Have had plenty of jobs. Why do I feel so nervous? I’m thinking that I THINK too much. LOL Worry too much. The job isn’t that difficult, it’s just learning the proper way to do it. Do you feel nervous when starting something new?

On a brighter note. The Prairie Voles are back. I used to feed them on my back deck, but then a hawk figured it out and I won’t be offering up easy prey anymore. Now I feed them out along the fence line where they nest and hide in the tall grass. They don’t run so much as hop and bounce. The babies look like furry popcorn, hip hopping along. I’ll try to get some pics, but they are quick! I was looking them up on the internet and discovered that they mate for life. The male bonds with a female and they are exclusive. If the female dies, he doesn’t seek a new mate. I’ll be extra careful to feed them in a safe place so they don’t lose their partners.

Have a lovely Sunday everyone.

What a whirlwind this week has been. I’m working out my notice at my old job while also doing training at my new one. One good thing is I’ll love getting two paychecks. LOL With this going on for another week, I won’t have time or energy for much else, so I’m working hard on getting some posts ahead and writing some upcoming reviews so I don’t fall behind.  Busy, busy, busy!!

So, Sunday is my day. No work and all play! I’m making myself ignore chores and just reading and watching the telly. Might sneak in a nap too:)

Have a lovely Sunday everyone.

Some chit chat.

It’s been hectic around here recently. I just got hired to a new job and going through the orientation and training process. I’m excited and still a bit nervous until things feel more comfortable. I do like my co-workers and the position I got. It’s taking up more of my time so I’m sorry if I’ve been somewhat absent with visiting and commenting. Things will settle down shortly and I’ll be back on my game!

I did manage to read a few more books and finished watching Gilmore Girls and The Umbrella Academy. And I watched a favorite romance movie, The Notebook. I cried and cried. Such a wonderful story.

Why do I love books and movies that make me cry? Crying, the really deep down kind, is actually physically painful for me. It’s like I try so hard not to cry that it hurts. I was thinking about this and the different ways I cry. There’s the nostalgic, my eyes water a bit. There’s the slow building, my face gets warm, my chest gets tight, and the tears well up and overflow. Then there’s the real thing. I feel like I can’t breathe, the tears pour down my face, and my nose runs before sobs burst out. To think that this can be evoked by a powerful story, whether read or watched, is amazing! Do you love it when a story makes you cry?

Have a lovely Sunday everyone.

Some chit chat.

I’m sure most of you have noticed how much I love horror, whether reading the books or watching the movies and shows. And I bet I catch you by surprise when I share a chick lit comedy or some romance. LOL The thing is, I love words. I love how an author puts them together and takes me away to places I’ve never been. I can time travel, venture into the future and outer space. Fly with dragons, and run with a pack of shifters. I can feel the first blush of romance and the agony of heart break. I could go on and on. To sum things up, no matter the genre, I’m always happy to be reading.

I spent this weekend outside. It was 70s and blue skies. No humidity and so glorious! I read 5 books!  And got a little sunburnt. LOL I then continued reading inside and finished two more. I can see the numbers growing now that spring and summer are in the air. I will spend more time outside and less time watching the telly. Sounds fun, doesn’t it!

Have a lovely Sunday everyone.

Some chit chat.

I mentioned last week that I knew spring was here to stay when my pecan trees started to bud.

Guess what! They have!

I’m so excited! Spring is very brief here, then is gets sweltering hot. I do love hot though and can’t wait to get in the pool. I’ll try to remember to capture a photo of my first dip of 2019.

What else is happening? Not much, really. Enjoying some good books. I finished binging Gilmore Girls. Gonna miss that show.  And now I’m looking for some new shows. Got any suggestion? Let me know!

Have a lovely Sunday everyone.

Some chit chat.

It was a great week. Nothing really happened but I just felt happy all week. I’m wondering if it has anything to do with the weather. It has been 70s and muggy here. The pollen is so thick that my car looks green every morning even though it’s actually dark blue. And my eyes are itchy and red. Sounds like I’m complaining, but I’m not. It means that spring is in the air. Time to get out the pool floats, bathing suits and flip flops! Woo Hoo!!!!

 Have a lovely Sunday everyone.

I’ve been wanting to try Judith’s books and had to grab these when she announced they were free. So many books, how could I not grab them!

I thought that was all of them, but when I came home from work Friday afternoon there were some packages waiting on my front porch. Look at these beauties!

Some chit chat.

It’s Mardi Gras here on the Gulf Coast and the parades are rolling, beads, moon pies and all kinds of fun stuff are flying off the floats. Great music and food are in order. I used to love this time of year. I’d buy the expensive ball gown. Go to the dance and party all night. And join the crowds to catch the bounty that’s tossed my way. Now, I stay at home. Been there. Done that. I leave it to the enthusiasts to enjoy. I can always pull up a book on my Kindle that involves Mardi Gras and stay safe and snug at home. Many people mistakenly believe Mardi Gras originated in New Orleans when in fact it was started in Mobile, Alabama. Right across the bay from me. Just a fun fact I wanted to share.

Laissez les bons temps rouler!

Let The Good Times Roll!

 Have a lovely Sunday everyone.

Movies and shows I watched this week.

I’m continuing b

my binge of Criminal Minds. Now on Season 9, Episode 4. I thought I’d come across some episodes I’d missed. Come on, there are 277 episodes. But so far I’ve seen everyone.

I watched Mandy starring Nicholas Cage. I really liked him in this one. The movie…not so much. It’s so out there and really violent. And that’s where Nicholas really pulled it off. He looked deranged and he needed to be to get the job done.

Then I watched Kiss And Cry. I didn’t realize it was a true story. Carley Ellison was 17 when she was diagnosed with a very rare form of cancer. Sarah Fisher played her character in the movie and she was brilliant. I smiled so much it hurt. Cried so much I was exhausted. And was so uplifted. And truly thankful Carley’s story was shared. She was brave beyond words, with a heart so big, it enveloped all those around her.

Did you notice something in the title to today’s post? I’m so excited! Hard to believe I’ve done 300 Sunday Post’s!  It’s been a grand experience. I’ve met some wonderful bloggers and book lovers. Found some fabulous new authors and books. And made some awesome friends. I started blogging by joining Twitter and meeting other book lovers. A few people reached out to me and encouraged me to start a blog. I never looked back! I discovered some fun memes along the way and The Sunday Post is a favorite. I love sharing what I did and discovered each week. And I try hard to visit as many other posts as I can to see what everyone else has been up to. Let’s hear it for Kimberly! She’s an amazing host and blogger. Always cheerful, eager to give tips and help when you have something techie needs fixing, and she shares some wonderful books.

Thanks so much for being such a fabulous host all these years, Kimberly. I’m looking forward to many more! And have a lovely Sunday everyone.
