AVR News Update
Hello and Happy Sunday!
My birthday was Weds, but we didn't celebrate until Thurs (and then Fri and Sat) because my hubby had to work. So, I've actually had a great birthday weekend instead of one day. Shopping and lunch with hubby on Thurs, a FotL book sale and 8 hours of playing Diablo III on Fri then a desk and bookcase building project followed by the sacrificial burning of the 2013 Christmas tree so we could have s'mores on Sat. Today we're just relaxing and doing household stuff. :) Ahhhh! Busy, but fun. Well, my kind of fun anyway. LOL
I hate this weather. We had ice on Monday night, so no school Tues. No power outage this time though. *wipes forehead* Then it got nice enough to open the windows. Today the temp is dropping and it's raining. Plus, the forecast is calling for a wintry mix on Tues. DaFuQ?!?!? I cannot believe it. This is NC! Stop it already!
Anyway...how about some pics for your viewing pleasure?

My birthday present, a Magic 8Ball. Woot!

Tuesday's ice
The Christmas tree was really really dry. Look at it go!
New desk and bookcase for hubby in the office. Made almost entirely from scraps leftover from various projects. It ain't fancy, but it does the job and was fun building with my honey. :)
That's it for me. AVR News Update signing off. May all your books enthrall you.
Shelf Additions
I actually have some book additions in emails that I haven't had a chance to get to yet since I've been busy. I'll have those here next week. :)
From the library
Nada
From NetGalley
For Tour
Too many books to list in links, but here's the pics from our shopping on Thurs and the FotL book sale on Fri.
From the Hospice Flea Market Store
From FotL sale ~ for the kids (and maybe me)
My FotL finds
My husband's FotL finds though I may read the Brad Thor books someday and the Reichs book is on my TBR
That Christmas tree really went up in flames. I'm glad you were able to make use of old materials to make the desk. It looks like it will do the job just fine.
ReplyDeleteIt sure did! :) My husband likes it and it takes up less room, so we're both happy. lol
DeleteWow you guys got some great books! I was drooling reading your post! Damn book buying bans! :)
ReplyDeleteThe sale is twice a year so we would've had to go even if we had a ban (but we don't). :D
DeleteWE had snow earlier and it was really coming down for a bit, but now it's stopped. Crazy. Happy birthday, it's always nice when you get to celebrate over a few days. :) 8 hours with a fave video game is always nice too!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you guys did a nice job with the desk and bookcase.
The winter the way it's been I'm really not looking forward to hurricane season. o.O I never really celebrate my birthday, soit was nice to take a few days and just do stuff. Especially playing the video game. :D
DeleteThanks! :)
Woot! Happy late birthday! And those look awesome! Always nice getting to get to create something with left over bits and pieces :) And I hear ya on the weather. NC is killing me. We're cold and rainy today :/
ReplyDeleteThanks! :)
DeleteJust imagine what hurricane season is going to be like. o.O
Look at that tree burn, and I love your desk! Glad you had such an awesome birthday weekend!
ReplyDeleteIt went up in about 30 seconds. lol Thanks! It was fun! :)
DeleteWhoa, look at those books. You all will be busy reading. :) Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteYour birthday week sounds fire and what a great idea the bonfire is. S'mores, yum.
Have a great week!
I scored some goodies! :D
DeleteIt was awesome! :) Thanks!
Whoo, that tree would make some nice s'mores!!! Happy Late Birthday
ReplyDeleteIt goes up really fast and as it dies down I have to throw more wood on the fire or we don't have enough coals to do s'mores. lol Thanks! :)
DeleteGreat haul! Happy birthday!
ReplyDeleteThanks! :)
DeleteSo many books, I understand why you're building shelves lol ! I hope you'll have as much fun to read them, have a great (warm ?) week :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! It's cold and rainy right now, but we may be heading into more normal Spring weather by week's end. *fingers crossed* :)
DeleteWhat a fantastic book haul again, good girl. Gee, it is still so icy cold in your parts of the world, but the picture is pretty :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great week and Happy Reading.
My Sunday Post is here
Thanks! And you, too! :)
DeleteAw! Happy Birthday :D
ReplyDeleteI know it must be cold but that picture of the branch with icicles is beautiful.
You burn your Christmas tree!?
So many books. I hope you enjoy them all (:
Thank you!
DeleteYep. It's a cut tree, so what else would we do with it? Might as well get one more use from it.
Thanks! I hope so! :)
