Some chit chat.

Ever had one of those weeks where you seem to be moving in slow motion? LOL I had one. And do you know what I did about it. I had a three day weekend and pretty much did nothing but TV and reading. Talk about a reboot of energy. Friday I stayed in bed til 8 A.M. finishing a book. Then I lolled around, ate too much, took a long nap and stayed up late reading. Saturday was a repeat. Today I plan to take a dip in the pool and hit some thrift shops. Maybe I’ll find some books!

Some chit chat.

Happy Easter everyone!

Been a weird, quiet week for me. Other than work I’ve been very lazy and it feels so good. LOL

I watched this wild video on the news about a horse attacking an alligator.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkrXIwhn3uk

I felt sorry for the poor thing, but I’m sure the horse was just protecting it’s herd. Who knows what had happened in that long grass. And it almost got a bite of the stallion.

Been binging a new show I found on Netflix called The Doctor Blake Mysteries. It’s an Australian murder mystery series with some great casting and intriguing plots. Totally hooked!

Other than that, been reading, reading, reading…..I’ve been lax on writing reviews the past week but have some good ones coming up next week. Be sure to drop by as some of them have giveaways included.

Now on to the books!

Some chit chat.

So, I’ve been sitting here watching the cursor blink for about 5 minutes, and still nothing. Been another 2 minutes and drawing a blank. I’m actually watching commercials to avoid another blank. Then….something popped into my head. Funny how something dull inspires.

I’m wondering which you like to watch more, movies or shows? Since Netflix came along I’m watching more and more shows. But I still love the movies and with On Demand and Netflix, I never have to go without. That all got me thinking about when I was young. Remember when the TV went off the air? They played the National Anthem and then nothing but static. And there were only a few channels to watch and it was black and white, no color. Now it’s 24/7 and you can watch from so many devices.

I also remember learning to use a Wordprocesser in college and thinking it was so awesome. Most kids now don’t even know what one is. And electric typewriters. Boy were they special!

So much has changed and it’s been my fortune to see it all happen. I can’t imagine ever losing all of this fabulous technology, so cross your fingers the Zombie apocalypse never happens!

This week was spring break here on the coast and I had the week off of work. It was glorious and went by too fast. I want a ground hog day where I go back and do the same week over, and over, and…..LOL

I didn’t do much of anything. Read some books.Watched some movies and shows. Stayed up late and actually slept in past 7! At least I’m well rested.

Sorry I didn’t visit a lot. Tried to stay away from the computer, though I did sneak in some time each day. I couldn’t help it. The dang thing was sitting there. Waiting for me to touch it.

Do you like a staycation where you stay at home or do you like to travel?

Did you notice? It’s my 200th Sunday post!

I have had such fun with this meme and can’t thank Kimberly enough for hosting it. I’ve met so many amazing fellow book lover’s and discovered many wonderful authors and books. It’s been a wonderful experience and I plan to keep on going.

And I got my new computer. I decided to let my computer guru dispose of my old one, but I did hang on to the hard drive, just in case. It’s taking me a bit to get the hang of this new computer. The keys are configured a bit differently and I find myself hitting the next key to the right all the time. I fixed that by moving my computer over a little bit, and doing better now. LOL It’s a Dell Inspiron and has all kinds of bells and whistles I’ll be checking out.

Some chit chat.

He’s getting old and cranky. We’ve never really seen eye to eye. And I’m ready for a change. It’s time for someone new. But what to do with him? He’s still functional. Still handy. I could smash him with a hammer. It would feel good, for a while. Then I’d feel ashamed….sad, wonder why I didn’t keep him around for emergencies. I better think about it.

Guess what! I’m getting a new computer. A new engine to drive my thoughts and ideas. Yes, I refer to my old computer as a he. Didn’t give him a name though. We’re like Venus and Mars in a lot of ways. LOL But he kept going and going, so I’m thinking I’ll keep him. Just in case.

What do you do with your old computer? Do you laugh maniacally as you smash it to bits like you wanted to so many times? Or do you keep it?

And did I get you in the beginning? What did you think I was referring to, or whom?

Not much happened this week. Same old, same old.

The weather is warm and I’ve been working on my yard, cleaning and pruning and getting ready for new planting. I’ve done away with a lot of my flower beds and like the clean look. Now to plant some shrubs and saplings and fill the flower boxes with lovely colors. Hurry up spring! I’ve got the fever and my green thumb is antsy. LOL

As for the pool. Well, it’s a mess but won’t take long to get it clean and inviting. It’s just too darn cold yet and those darn leaves are just out of reach without having to get in there.

But I sure did read a bunch of books. And I’m well into listening to the rest of the John Cleaver series by Dan Wells. What a trip those are.

So without further adieu……..

It’s the second week of February here on the Gulf Coast, and you know what that means?

Laissez les bon temps roulez!

Let the good times roll!

It’s Mardi Gras time!

Friday night saw the first of many parades, starting off with the Conde Cavaliers. People flock in droves to catch beads, toys, and Moon Pies.

Many people believe this celebration originated in New Orleans when in fact, history shows the first celebration was established in 1703 by French settlers in Mobile, Alabama. And we do it up big here.

I’ve been to many parades but not so often now that I’m older. It can be tiring and people go crazy for the trinkets.  I do hope to go to at least one. I’ll brave the crowds, the need for a non- existent bathroom, and the people willing to break my arm to snatch that shiny strand of beads I’ve managed to latch on to right out of my hands. LOL

Have you ever been to a Mardi Gras parade?

This was the weirdest week. For the first time in so long I can’t remember I actually missed posting one day. I realized Wednesday that I had nothing ready for Thursday and just let it go. I actually felt guilty. LOL

It’s turned cold here again and I’ve been doing a lot of reading. Got a bunch of reviews written and will be doing a new Tag Team Event soon.

Other than the blog, nothing much new to report. I did watch some old favorites on the telly. It was fun to see if I could remember favorite quotes from some of them. Just for fun, do you have a favorite quote from a movie?
