{Update} Computer Issues

Well it seems that my poor computer is going to give me issues again ugh.  Double Ugh.  So the poor thing is going in this coming Sunday.  I want to make sure that everyone knows what is going on.  So if you peek at the calendar you will see the I have nothing scheduled for Feb 23-28th this is a caution just in case.  I moved everything to the first week in March.  

We have our first Read On at 4pm on March 8th and Book Babble at 6pm If by chance I do not have the computer back by then (really don't want that to happen)  I have already emailed the authors about moving them to the 15th.  


I am in the process of getting a second computer so if this one dies on me I have a back up.  So its just a work in progress.

The Year 2013 for Me!

The year 2013 was a year unlike any other.  So here is a list of 5 things that happened to me and mine this year. 

1. One of the biggest things that happened was that I have been married for 3 years.  This surpasses my first marriage by two years.  We still fight every now and then and argue. But its the make ups and the good times that make it all worth while.  I love my husband and family with all my heart. 

2. We again got passes this year to both Disney and Universal but after trying to go to both we ended up sticking with Universal and that was a great choice.  We have had so much family fun going riding the rides and spending time together. 

3. My site as you have seen has gone through a few changes.  From templates to how I post. And of course it just had another one a few weeks ago.  I am learning so much more about HTML and hope to get even better in 2014! 

4. My site has also blown up with the addition of Keep Calm and Read On live web show.  We have gotten to talk with a ton of both huge and little authors.  And we have a great line up coming this 2014.  We so can't wait!  

5. Books!  It has been a cray cray year for getting books!!!  I have more than likely almost doubled my book collection!  I hope to do even more in the coming year!  Now all I need is a house! 

So as you can see I lead a pretty boring life. lol.  But here are 5 things that I hope to accomplish in 2014 and yes you can help me get there!

1. I hope to have my google+ circles up to match that of my Facebook likes.  Currently my Facebook is over 4,000 likes (this is as of Dec. 23)  So If you have liked my Facebook page but not added me to your circles than please do!  Ill add you back! 

2. More Print ARCs from other publishers.  There are still a few publishers out there that I don't get ARCs from.  I hope to add them to my list this year.  

3. More shows!  I hope to get to meet more authors!  Via BEA in May, or just book signings that are near me.  I hope to get to more of them!!  If.....OK WHEN I DO!! Ill be sure to post them here!  

4. Active!  I hope to be more active in my offline life.  I have already started walking twice a day.  Where I live we have a road that goes down a hill then back up one.  So we have been walking that twice a day back and forth one full time.  So far its been killing me.  But I hope to get even more active as the year goes by.  

5. Parks!  We haven't decided where we want to go next year.  We are still debating if we are going to go anywhere.  Right now it is me, husband, 2 kids, my mom, my grams. All living together dealing with the bills.  And well this winter my grams hasn't been doing so well and she will be turning the 90 this year!!  So we know that it will happen sometime. That she will pass on.  So we don't know if we want to spend the extra money going to one of the parks if we end up needing it to survive on.  It sucks and we will miss her dearly but its the truth.  And the truth sucks.  She is a touch old lady that we keep saying that she will outlive us all.  

So again you can see that this year I have a very short list of things we want to get done.  2014 is set to be a very interesting year.  Next up is my New Years Resolutions. 

1. I would like to get down back into the 100's I'm not assumed to tell you all that I am currently around 267lbs.  And its killer in the heat here in Florida.  So I'm trying to stay active and get some of it off!!

2. It would be neat to win the lottery (over 100,000) ya this one is more of a wish!  But hey! 

3.  Buying a house It would be nice to get all of the bills paid and be able to start thinking about buying a house. 

4. Get my girls active.  I want to get them off their phones and iPads and get them outside!!

5. Have another baby.  I don't really want to HAVE another baby.  But I would love to have the funds to adopt!!

{Christmas} Merry Christmas!



I wanted to wish everyone happy holidays today! 
While many are celebrating with family we will be at universal for today.  
We always try to do something different for Christmas. Normally we would go to the movies but this year we decided to do something else.  And screaming on a roller coster sounded like a great idea!  

So well see you back here tomorrow with more reviews!
