The Great Book Exchange - Shopping in progress...

Wow, great packages all around.

[super807]

TV series are tricky. There are several good ones that play at 10 pm, which is past my bedtime. I get up at 5:30 cause I work at 7:30, and I need sleep, so 9:30 is usually as late as I can stay up. But I really like Castle, which is on at 10 and Elementary, also at 10. Watch those on OnDemand or else at alternate times on different days.

Recently started watching Murdoch Mysteries. I like it, it plays at a time I can watch, and as a bonus, this show has been on for years, but I never saw it, so when an episode is on, it is new to me.

Also like Bones.

Hmmh, am seeing a trend in what I watch. Other than sitcoms, I watch mystery shows.

I have a full weekend ahead of me. My parents are visiting, so we are having family get-togethers all weekend. Tomorrow is the big one, with all my nieces and nephews there too, including my great-nephew. He was born on June 4th, so he's tiny. He is the first great-grandchild. I'm too young to be a great aunt, but my siblings are all a lot older than me, so I've been an aunt since I was 13. My parents just saw their great-grandson today for the first time, and they are totally enchanted.

Since it's almost send date, just a reminder (pretty sure we're all go to go but dont forget to post when you send):

Minimum post number for this train is 10 (but you can post as much as you like). Mandatory posts must include a post for each of the following:
1. Requesting seat
2. Confirmation of sending
3. Confirmation of receiving/Thank You (pics are great if you are able!)

Reminder bump, just in case people forgot or missed the post.

Packages are looking great everyone!

Happy Sunday Everyone! Hope everyone is enjoying the long weekend!

It's been rainy here so we just vegged the past few days, but today looks beautiful!

Just put the roast in the slow cooker and plan to head outside in a bit. Kids are busy playing with blocks and they are actually getting along so I don't dare disturb. lol

[bargain_hunter_lola]

Oh and I just have to say, that Purple picture frame is so nice! Awesome gift!

[bargain_hunter_lola]

Thought I'd post a pic of my "masterpiece" since its finally ready to use (and its nice out so I'm going to try it out)!

It's not perfect but not bad for my first spray paint project and I love the colour! My friend just gave me 11th Hour by James Patterson so I'll be sitting back reading this afternoon.
