Monday Check In

Last week...

Writing Related: A pretty good week last week. If I stay on track, I should finish rewriting the ending of Ivan's story by the end of the first week of August. 

Motivational Quote: "Outlast the heartbreak and disappointment. Dare to believe there are beautiful moments ahead." ~ Thema Bryant-Davis

What I'm Reading: I finished the last book I was reading and haven't started a new one yet.

Random Things:  I found a recipe for a Twix ice cream pie that I want to make. Twix is my favorite candy bar so when I came across the recipe, I had to print it out to try. Now I just need a holiday or birthday or some type of reason to use as an excuse to make it.

Mrs. Green and Somebody looking out the window together. This is a rare occurrence so I had to take the picture. Usually if one of them is looking out the window and the other one tries to look out at the same time, the first one will get down.

Last week...

Writing Related: I had a productive week last week. I feel like I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel in terms of finishing the rewrite of the ending of Ivan's story. I'm pretty sure I'll only need to write another 70 or so pages.  

Motivational Quote: "He who waits for chance may wait a year." ~ Yoruban Proverb  (I want to add "Or longer.")

What I'm Reading: I started reading Omens by Kelley Armstrong yesterday afternoon. It's the first book in the Cainsville series.

Random Things: I've been squeezing in time on Sundays to make cards for family members who have birthdays at the end of this month. We have 4 practically in a row. My sister's birthday is 07/25, one niece's birthday is 07/27, another niece's birthday is 07/28, and the first niece's husband's birthday is 07/30. Crazy, right?

Writing Related: I have to admit between the July 4th holiday and my mom's birthday, I didn't get a lot of writing done. I'm back on track this week though.

Motivational Quote: "He who knows that enough is enough will always have enough." ~ Lao-Tzu

What I'm Reading: I started reading Murder at the Beacon Bakeshop by Darci Hannah yesterday. This is the first book in the Beacon Bakeshop mystery series.

Random Things: I can't believe we're already halfway through the year. I have so much I want to accomplish this year and feel like I have so little time left to get it all completed. One good thing about feeling like I'm behind is that it's really helping me cut through the waste of time stuff and helping me focus on the goals I definitely want to meet by the end of the year.

Happy 4th of July!

 

            I hope you and your family have a wonderful 4th of July holiday.
