• I’m afraid I’m becoming a weekend blogger. Since my husband started his new full-time job at the beginning of the month, basically all of my [scant] posts have been composed and scheduled over the weekends. Which doesn’t really make sense, because when it’s the weekend, he’s home! Why am I blogging then?
• I’ve only rarely (and never really long-term) been in the position of staying home while my husband goes off to a full-time, off-site job, so this is mostly new to me, and I’m (we’re) still adjusting. I’ve yet to find a routine that works. It’s not that I don’t have responsibilities; I do. I work part-time from home, and I’m in the process of starting something else that will hopefully bring in some income. This in addition to tasks around the house. It’s certainly not a matter of not having anything to fill my days — by no means!
• I’m starting to think / realize that although I enjoy reading fantasy, I rarely like the covers. In fact, they’re usually turn offs. Why is that, I wonder?
• I’m excited about a few fiber arts ideas I have. I think I may have even figured out a small bridge between my bookish pursuits and my fiber!
• This post isn’t really going anywhere, sorry.
• I might finally finish Middlemarch this week. I’ve been getting 30 or so pages read a day pretty reliably, and I’ve got less than 200 pages left. Hooray!

Good morning Hannah!
Sounds like you are busy – I am curious about what your “something else” may be!
YAY for the Middlemarch progress!
Hey Sheila, howdy! It’s really foggy here this morning; are you forecasted to get any snow today or tomorrow?
There is word of snow and we seen a few flakes today but that is it – so far. I am really hoping it misses us as I am so over it, but we are really overcast.
I hope it misses you too, for your sake!
We got hit…. I have no idea how much but I would say we are working on 6 inches. Woke up to it this morning….GAH! AND it is still snowing…. the only bright side is my meeting tonight may be canceled and that would give me more time to prepare for my book club tomorrow night at my house.
Well, that’s a bright side, eh? According to one forecast, 3 of the next 5 days we’ve got at least a chance of snow (including today) here.
I find that I don’t blog when my guy is around, so I always take some time when he is gone to write a couple posts. Sometimes I manage to be organized enough to do the whole week… Other times I miss a couple days. Otherwise, I wouldn’t blog much. Hopefully you will get in the swing of things, soon! Best of luck with your ‘something else’.
And congrats on Middlemarch. I am reading The Three Musketeers, is finishing that an accomplishment? I admit since it is my eReader I can’t remember how long the book is to begin with!
The Three Musketeers certainly counts as an accomplishment, I think!
I’m finding blogging to be really hard lately. It’s not for lack of things I want to write about, it’s just that writing a post a day…sometimes for more than one blog seems like an incredibly huge goal. How did I ever do this regularly?
And yay for finishing Middlemarch!!!
Right, it’s certainly not for lack of ideas or content! Blogging feels daunting right now, to me too.
I like bullet-point posts!
I like fantasy, too, but usually the cover art is cheesy. One exception- Kristin Cashore’s Graceling and Fire – loved those covers.
Hope you have a wonderful week, Hannah!
I found it a difficult adjustment when I stopped working full-time and my husband starting working more! You’ll find yourself finding all kinds of ways to fill time
Oh, filling time is not the problem here! Not at all. And at this point, we’re getting much more adjusted.
