AVR News Update
Hello and Happy Sunday!
So, I mentioned last week that Jessica has come to live with us. We spent practically the whole week running around getting things done and tomorrow we'll hopefully get the last of the official paperwork and shit complete and she'll be ready to start the new semester at the high school on Tues. As such, I should be able to go back to my mostly sedentary lifestyle cuz I gotta tell ya, I do not like running around. At one point, in the middle of the week, my husband sent a text quoting Spongebob. Smartass.

In other related news, I got nothing done on the blog. No reviews, no posts, very little reading. So I should be able to work more on that stuff this week. I hope. Because those reviews aren't going to write themselves. Unfortunately.
Last, but certainly not least, Cutie Kyleigh came for a visit yesterday. There was much fun to be had and, of course, books. Hard to believe the little squirt will be 1 year old in just one month. Where does the time go?!
That's it for me. AVR News Update signing off. May all your books enthrall you.

Time is on serious fast forward when it comes to little kids! It's not fair. I'm sure you'll be glad to have all the stuff with Jessica squared away so you can just get back to your normal routine. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI never realized how fast time goes by until I had kids. LOL We got everything done! Yay! :D
DeleteI so cannot believe she will be one this year! I am glad things are getting sorted. My life is about to get crazy particularly in May since I will be quitting work outside of the home and taking care of my grandbaby when my daughter returns to work. I am starting up an author's assailant business as well. 2015 is going to be interesting indeed. Hopefully your life returns to a semi-normal state this week.
ReplyDeleteIkr! And now you have a grandbaby! Sophia is so adorable!
DeleteUm, author's assailant business? Is that where readers get to flog writers for cliffhangers, poor plotting, TSTL characters and other miscellany? hehehe
Little Kyleigh is definitely cute :) I remember when my daughters were babies, time goes so fast, it's crazy ! It would be great if review could write themselves with us just moving our noses, right ? Alas... Have a great week !
ReplyDeleteEveryone needs their own personal Tardis, right? lol And how cool would it be to just think the review and the computer types it up? O.O :D
DeleteIt's amazing how fast kids grow, and how much they change in very little time!
ReplyDeleteI hadn't seen that Maggie Shayne book you received, but I love her writing, so I need to check it out soon.
Good luck on getting those reviews written, and getting your sedentary lifestyle back :)
Have a fantastic Sunday and a great week.
Lexxie @ (un)Conventional Bookviews
It constantly amazes me. :)
DeleteI've been collecting her books for awhile now. I really need to read more of them. Can we get like 30 hrs in a day? lol
I'm sorta back to my usual routine. Kinda. It's close. LOL
Nothing like a busy week to throw all your blog plans into disarray. Hopefully this week you can be back to what you like doing best! :)
ReplyDeleteI know! I'm getting a bit cranky. lol I'm sorta back to my usual routine. :)
DeleteIt's really awesome to see how fast that Kayleigh has grown. Children grow up so fast. It looks like a busy week can throw anyone's plan in disarray. I hope you get those reviews written this week.
ReplyDeleteGrace @ Books of Love
Kids grow so fast and they change so much in the first few years! I hope to work on reviews this afternoon. *fingers crossed*
DeleteGlad you are getting your errands done -- that comes before blogging! Especially when family is the reason. The blog will not be the one helping you in your old age! Unless, robots are really big then and your blog becomes a robot. I am nuts! http://fangswandsandfairydust.com/2015/01/sunpo-1-25-15.html
ReplyDeleteLOL So true! But...robots? Wait! Why can't we have robots NOW that cook and clean and stuff, so I have more time for the blog?! Where's Rosie from the Jetsons?! :D
DeleteOoh, I know the feeling! Some weeks it's impossible to get anything done. Sometimes it feels like each little thing I do, ten more are added to the list! I wish reviews were self-writing, that would be AMAZING! I'm 10 books behind right now, and I'm trying not to think about writing reviews... it'll absolutely terrify me if I stop to think about it for too long! Hope things go a bit smoother for you this week!
ReplyDeleteAlma @ Journey Through Fiction
I wouldn't mind one day a week running around, but she needed a lot of paperwork done, but it's all been accomplished. At least it's an unusual week and not a typical week. I might go nuts otherwise. LOL I think I'm in the vicinity of a baker's dozen behind. Eeep!
DeleteIs it almost a year already... wow. Look how confident she looks. Nice selection of freebies, you need to push some 'me' time (= reading time) into your schedule!
ReplyDeleteThe Pegster Reads
Ikr! I can't believe it either! Once Jessica's settled into school, my schedule should ease down. Well, today is a catch up day. We're still waiting for her old school to send grades over. I am not impressed with that school at all. Anyway, I managed to work in 2 short stories as therapy. :) Of course, that means I added 2 reviews to the list, but I'll take it. LOL
DeleteI want to read The Wild and Max Q! On my reading challenge now:)
ReplyDeleteIt's crazy how fast the little ones grow. You almost dare not blink!
Your hubbie is too funny with Sponge Bob. LOL

I wish there were enough hours in the day to read everything I want to read. lol
DeleteWe haven't watched Spongebob in a long time, but every once in awhile a quote pops into our conversation. :D
You got a lot of freebies this week. Life gets so busy sometimes. I just started following you not that long ago and I still can't believe she is already going to be one. I wish kids would just stop growing. My neighbors grandson is already going to be two in March.
ReplyDeleteI managed to squeeze a few freebies in, but sometimes the list is very long. lol It seems like the older I get the faster time flies and that is so wrong! :D
DeleteThey grow so fast don't they? Such a cutie though :) good luck having some time to yourself this week - crazy busy weeks always set me back a bit too. And aww, thanks for buying the book with my short story :) I hope you enjoy it! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteShe's a total camera ham. If she sees one pointed her way she stops to grin. lol I'm hoping to get caught up this week, but I'm not going to jinx myself. I'll just keep swimming. :D You're welcome! I'm glad I was able to buy it. I've been hoarding my Christmas gift card. :)
DeleteGosh, time moves fast -- and apparently, so did you this week ;)
ReplyDeleteIt did! It blew by in no time! lol Yesterday was go-go, but today is more back to normal. :)
DeleteWow, crazy life going on there..hope it calms down and you can relax this week! :)
ReplyDeleteStormi
It's getting there. At least I have time to reply to posts. :)
DeleteWhoo, you've been busy; hardly surprising that you didn't have time for the blog. I hope you get your sedentary week and a chance to read. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd, nothing in your pile this week tempts me. Phew! :D Happy reading!
I'm not used to all this to-ing and fro-ing. lol I snuck in 2 short stories, so feeling a bit less cranky. However, that's 2 more to the review writing list. Ah, well. :D
DeleteWait, wut?! No temptations this week? Challenge accepted. *runs off to look for freebies*
Great week you had! I hope Jessica does well in school! Here's my Sunday Post:

It was mostly productive at least. I'm sure she will. :)
