Okay, so I missed last week. I wasn’t feeling it, in fact I’ve been having some pretty busy days lately. Which is good, but it’s stressing me out. There is a lot on my plate and something that I have been keeping from you all. We are building a house. 🙂 Shocking? Maybe not the juiciest bit of gossip but I wanted to keep it on the down low until it was at the point where we start to actually do something. Let me just say that it’s not easy. I don’t know how the designers on HGTV do it.

This week we picked out shingles, cabinets and kitchen granite. The picture below was taken a couple of weeks ago, we’re a little bit more progressed right now. But still no siding or brick installed. Pretty exciting though.

In other news, I’m so behind on reviews. There are 4 that I need to write and I’m lagging. What with work, the house, and everything, when I do get the time I just want to relax. I did pick up some new audio books that I’m excited about.

I also had some technical difficulties with my blog a couple of days ago. My site went down. I couldn’t access the admin side or the homepage. Thankfully, the company that hosts my site (Siteground) is really great. I just love their customer service. They don’t condescend and they reply super quick. You don’t have to call, which I love, just submit a ticket. Turns out that a plugin (Shareaholic) caused the problem. Suffice it to say, I’m not using that plugin anymore. They got my site up and running the same day I had the problem.

I might have to stop this one for now, because I have an unexpected deadline for another book. But I’m enjoying this one so far.

I went audiobook crazy! I got my 1 credit in and there was a sale going on, so I scooped these up! Currently listening to A Curious Beginning by Deanna Raybourn.
