I am, my book has been in the bathroom for the last 2 weeks just waiting...I was a litte worried that people where going to start out with out me because I have been preoccupied lately and haven't found a whole lot of time to get online. ↑ |
Yes, we've been waiting for you. Do you think you are OK to start? ↑ |
It is SO touching that you were worried that we would read a book without you :) ↑ |
i'm in for this one. I am actually re-reading this book. I read it about 10 years ago (i think) when I got hooked on Gabrial garcia Marquez after reading 'Love in the time of Cholera' ↑ |
Cindy, isn't he a great author? This book was the first one, and it made me read Love in the time of Cholera and something else of his. ↑ |
Everything seems to be getting better as the days go by. I thought for sure I was going to lose it on Wednesday. I actually hit the wall out of fustration and now my hand and wrist is all bruised. Today is alot better. Been trying to get my house clean but I swear I could clean all day and all night and it would still look like I didn't do a darn thing all day. ↑ |
EthansMom, it's understandable what you are going through. Were you close with this uncle? Let us know when you are ready. ↑ |
i am ready when everyone else is. ↑ |
No we weren't close but what upset me about his death is that when he was here in the hospital and I went to see him the first time he didn't know who the heck I was, then he was sleeping and before he was moved an hour away he was in a coma. So when I finally found a way to the hospital, my husband refuse to take my son so I had to take him with me. While at the hospital we had to wait to see him because the nurse was in working with him. I never got to see him because my son started screaming and crying because he was tired so I never got to see him. We had planned on going up to the hospital that Saturday but he died on Friday. I knew he wasn't coming out of the hospital alive, it just sucks that it never worked out that we were able to see him before he went.
Does Monday sound good to everyone, I should be ready to go by then. I'm busy this weekend and my house is finally clean. Hopefully I will have more times on my hand, well until I start nesting...LOL. Only 13 weeks and 6 days to go. ↑ |
Monday sounds good. Hopefully, we'll be done with the book before your nesting LOL. You'll be much bigger when we are done . ↑ |
Me too E IThis is to start the book right?? ↑ |
Yes, Serina, we are just getting ready to start reading. ↑ |
Okay...I'm back...
Funeral went as good as can be expected for a funeral.
My nephews birthday party went smoothly as well. Minus the fact that my dumb ass dad didn't show up, but we are use to this. I am pretty sure that my nephew had alot of fun and my son enjoyed the fact that my nephew didn't want to open his gifts because it meant he got to...LOL
So, what's the pages that we are going to read for tonight. I'll check back later, time for lunch right now and man I am HUNGRY... ↑ |
Let's start reading, as fast or as slow as one is comfortable with. We can come here at any point and share any thoughts the book evoked. ↑ |
Sounds good...by the way what is the next book on the list... ↑ |
Books 3 and 4 are "The Memory Keeper's Daughter" and "Gone with the Wind". ↑ |
I started the book, this poor guy cant catch a break. ↑ |
The gypsies were the bearers of all the news in this separated from the world village. Fantay mixes with facts in things they bring. Isn't it amazing that Jose Arcadio Buendia figured that the world was round, on his own, in that village? ↑ |
Yes it was, and I thought, who wants to be the first to discover something, everyone else thinks you’re crazy. LOL ↑ |
He reminded me of my husband who is always thinking up ways of using something that he just found. Only to find out later that his ideas never work out the way he plans. ↑ |
LOL Hopefully, he doesn't ask for your inheritance to melt up because of his idea. Yes, all men have some of that wondering quality. ↑ |
Right...Good thing that I don't have an inheritance at the moment... I would probably laugh at him anyways if he came up with some bright idea that he was going to increase the amount by melting it. I'd tell him if he wants to increase the amount of money we have he could always get another job...LOL ↑ |
Not quite finished with chapert 1 4 pages to go but seem good so far. ↑ |
I think I might be on chapter 3. I was up at 3:30PM not feeling to good, so while in the bathroom I decided to read...LOL. ↑ |
Is it me but I am having a hard time getting into this book? Anyone else?Maybe I am just trying to read it too late at night I do not know? ↑ |
Yes, how's everybody doing with the book? ↑ |
Maybe, Serina. It's a book for a relaxed time. I don't know if I had any room left for a book if I were in the middle of the house problems. ↑ |
Yea E I guess you ae right. I do love to read but I guess one thing at a time. I have a large wicker basket by my bed full of books to read.I have t daily books ya know the kind like 1 page for each day.One I love is a book given to me called acts of faith for people of color.the other I love too called Untill Today. They are like little pieces of wisdom.like for
January 9th "Life will work for me when I realiza...the only walls,locked doors & prisons in my life are the ones I have built."
It give me something to think about & I always strive to be a better person in life. ↑ |
