I finished "Republic." I connot stress what a relief it is to have that monkey off my back. Now I can move on to another of the books off my list. Next will be a "Midsummer's Night Dream ( Read more... )

O. K. Thinking aloud here so bear with me. I've picked up several to-be-read books for February. First is Plato's Republic. I've been stalling on finishing that one for far too long. Yesterday I read my background notes and today I'll go through the Cliff Notes to recollect what I've already read. So I WILL get that book finished within a week.  ( Read more... )

I've been waiting for two hours for these nitwits to send me my password into their book club section. The user and password I have secreted away is not working.

I've only got one more skein of brown yarn for the big afghan and I've organized the cross-stitch projects. I went for green thread for the "Keepsake" doilie but Walmarts doesn't have it nor ( Read more... )

I 've got all my craft projects organized. I have 13 in the works. One afghan and one doilie are almost done so that's the two I'm aiming to finish this month. And a set of plastic coasters will only take a couple of days. So I'll probably squeeze that one in too. Two of the cross stitch projects and one afghan are the big jobs so I plan to space ( Read more... )
