Ah, my favorite topic.

I have ARCs to read. I have great friends. They send me ARCs of their upcoming books. I wuv them. :boobie:

I typically have a ginormous TBR pile, and I’m really making a concerted effort to do more reading these days, even though I’m always knee-deep in writing deadlines, because I think reading is so important. I need to step away from the computer and sink into a story that isn’t my own. It refreshes my brain and helps me shut down the stress.

So here’s what I have on hand, ARC-wise:

A Dog’s Life

August 6, 2007Life in Motionjaciburton

We have five dogs. Yes, five. Three of them–the bigger ones–live out in the back yard (we have an acre and a half so plenty of room for the big dogs). Our biggest dog, our black Lab, Buddy, clearly thought he was a championship running back, because he tore the ACL ligament in his knee and had to have surgery last week.

It’s Monday, Isn’t It?

And it’s already the end of July. Yikes.

Weekend was fun. Biker Dude and I went on a Poker Run charity bike ride for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. It was hot and sweaty and a really long day out in the sun, but we had a really good time. We rode to different locations, got a different ‘card’ for our poker hand at each locale, and ended up at Harley dealership where we didn’t win the Harley they were giving away, but Biker Dude did win a t-shirt. Hey, better than nothing, right? :giggle:

Then we came home and did yard work. More hot sun and sweat. Yuk.

Sunday we went shopping with our daughter and bought her a nightstand for the condo she’ll be sharing with friends at college. Yes, just a few more weeks and she’ll be off to college. She’s so excited and we’re excited for her. :cheer:

No writing at all this weekend, which I didn’t really mind. I need to take time off and refresh the brain (ignores Sven’s leering, sweaty face over there on the right). Since the 70 Day writing challenge started on July 8th, I’ve added over 100 pages to The Demon’s Touch, so I’m rockin and things are going really well with the plotline.

Today is working on the book, which after having taken the weekend off, I’m anxious to get back to. And of course, :laundry:

This week’s agenda?

1. Write at least 40 pages on The Demon’s Touch

2. Surgery later this week for Buddy, our lab, who tore his ACL. 😥

3. Make appt for Jaz and Bella at the Groomers (man, do they really need haircuts)

4. Grocery shopping!

What’s on your To Do list this week?

Oh and 31 DAYS UNTIL HUNTING THE DEMON RELEASES!!!!! :hips:
