For Whom the Bell… Oh, Wait.
The holidays took their toll this year, as I’m sure you may have noticed. Or not.
Either way, I haven’t been around much since then. We’ve been dealing with stuff. So let me share a comic (xkcd)…
So yeah. It could always be alot worse.
~*~
But on the brilliant side of things, I’ve had alot of good pop up, too!
I have been pre-approved for books from BookBuzz.net. That is an awesome step for me! I now have free access to their current catalog, and will receive any book they post on ‘Galley, just for the asking. So far, I’ve looked around and am excited to move in on their titles!
Another positive, is a suggestion that has been made to me by a few people now – though for full disclosure, these are all people close to me – that I should start doing “unboxing” videos, opening the books and other goodies I get.
And, oh boy!, do I get quite a bit. I don’t order alot online or buy alot of stuff, because I don’t have alot of funding to spend. So I get stuff to review. Books, movies, even snacks, sometimes. And who doesn’t like that feeling of opening a new box full of goodies that just came in the mail?
So I’m going to start that, too. (I have a few boxes sitting around waiting just for this that arrived this week, so I’m all set.)
So, as you can tell, I have lots of plans for the future…
But sometimes I feel all…
And I stall out. I have so much to do that I spaz, jumping from one thing to another in an attempt to do it all at once. Have you ever done that? Almost everyone does that at some point or another.
And when it all gets too much, what do I do?
I plan.
Well, maybe not that bad. Lol – But it is bad. I get so wrapped up in planning, I sometimes forget that the whole point is to DO stuff realistically, and I leave myself with like 2 hours to sleep.
Not good.
So then I got to admit…
And that’s when I eat some white chocolate…
And remind myself that I am awesome.
(Heck, I learned how to put gifs on my stuff without a tutorial… Can you tell?)
So while I may wind up a little slowed down thanks to that other stuff, I’m not about to quit, or play it safe. It’s time to muscle up and show that I am a winner!
Besides… It could have always been worse:
And now, back to your (ir)regularly scheduled updates!
Star Wars Countdown and Reviews
Are you counting down for the new Star Wars movie yet?
We already bought the tickets! (Even if they have all been gifted already… wound up with some last-minute tag-a-longs for the movie… don’t you just love when that happens?) But since they are all already given out, we may actually go and see it opening night, before the presents are given!
SO, to go about preparing for this, I am going to do (and have done) alot of Star Wars-based reading…
Lets start with this short story…
Forgive the image, it was the only one on the page, and not mine. I think if it were mine, it would have turned out worse. Read the story by clicking the title above, or here. Read my review on GoodReads here.
And remember, The Force is with You!
