FREAKY FRIDAY

Because I am WAAAAYYY behind on ALL my reading, review and otherwise, I am going to depart from bookish things to tell you guys about a blog a very dear friend of mine has.  If you need a good LAUGH she is the one to turn to! 

Today I am highlighting one of my FAVOURITE blogs to read, and it happens to be the blog of one of my most FAVOURITE people in the entire universe. (enter trumpets)  Her name is Michele and she has been one of my CLOSEST most dearest friends over the past, dare I say, 20 plus years.  Her blog is extraordinary.  Her writing is incredible, and she is one of THE funniest people I know and her blog is no exception.  Michele is a wonderful and REAL mother who has a 5 year old lovely lady in kindergarten.  She has hilarious and very very touching stories about their life together, and on the days where she has a rant or two about life in general?  PEE.  I actually PEE myself laughing, people! 

ANYway, enough pre-amble.  Here she is in all her bloggy gloriousness.  And she does not know I am doing this sooooo... SURPRISE! 

FINDING TRINITY AND FREAK-OUT FRIDAY

"My eyes... MY EYES!!!"

I have been on the computer virtually ALL DAY trying to get the hang of the self hosting option on Wordpress.... and my eyes are ready to explode. I will be changing up my blog sometime in the near future, and it will be greatly improved with lots of cool features, I hope. But until I really understand what self hosting means and if I can actually "get" the tech side of it, I'll stick to the 'ol faithful. 

Because I am completely screen burnt out at the moment I'm not going to post anything else today.  But stay tuned for the announcement when my new blog is ready and I'll have the link to swing over and then if you like it you can follow my new one!! 

Have a WONDERFUL day, everyone!

DEWEY'S 24 HOUR READ-A-THON!

Save me from myself!!! ! I have JUST signed up to participate in Dewey's 24 Hour Read-a-Thon that takes place on October 24th.  Why do you ask?  I say WHY NOT!!!  It actually sounds like a whole lot of sleep deprived fun!  Apparently this tradition was started years ago by a woman named Dewey.  And after she passed away a couple of years ago a few loyal book blogging folks decided to keep up this cool event for everyone to join in! 

When you sign up as a reader, all you have to do is read for 24 hours, and update your blog as you do so.  You can adjust this to fit your own needs, such as myself who has a family to run, I'll be taking breaks throughout the day to feed and water them.  And then I'll be back at reading, posting and our lovely cheerleaders will be posting mini-challenges through-out the 24 hour period for the readers to have fun with and take a bit of a brain break!    The read-a-thon is world wide and happens at exactly the same time, they have included all of the relevant timezones so you will be reading along with everyone else. 

I am going to try my "darndest" to stay awake the full 24 hours, God only knows I've done it enough at work, and having a whole lot less fun! 

You can sign up as a reader OR as a cheerleader!  Click here for more details. 

Oh.. and HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!  I'll see you on Tuesday!!!
