Did you miss me?

Derek pointed out that I haven't been on social media or posting to my blog like I usually do and he's right. I've been keeping busy with non-internet things which is good.

We should be putting down the deposit for our wedding venue this week. I'm glad to have that settled. It also looks like we have an apartment. Our current apartment still hasn't been rented yet so people are still coming in and out to look at the apartment. I hate it but what can you do?

I've read two books recently, A Court of Mist and Fury (loved it) and Hidden Huntress (did not like it). They are both the second books in different series. A Court of Mist and Fury was better than the first book while Hidden Huntress went way downhill from book one. I'm going to try to break away from the YA genre for the next book I read. Or am I?.....I fully admit that I am a YA junkie.

I stayed over my mother's place on Saturday night for Mother's Day. We did some shopping and I met her neighbor Tiffany who is afraid to swear in front of me because "you look like you're 20 years old!" I will take the compliment. I may look young but I don't think I could pass for 20 anymore.

Derek and I went out last night for dinner and listened to some live Irish music and witnessed a young woman and a much much older man canoodling at the bar. I snapchatted it of course because I'm a horrible person but at least I admit it.

I'll try to be better about updating here. I can't let down "my fans".

  2. Now what's wrong with an older man with a younger woman? Apart from the canoodling bit, which would have bugged me a bit too. :D

    1. To each his own. I think I was just surprised because I did not expect it! And yes the PDA could have been toned down a notch.

  3. I noticed your lack of blog, and it was disturbing.

  4. I just bought my copy of Court of Mist and Fury! Cannot wait - I loved the first one so much. If it makes you feel better, my library has them in the 'adult' section, not YA ;)

    1. Well there's quite a bit of sexy times happening in ACOMAF so it probably should not be in the YA section....ha ha. It was so good though! I love the direction the series is taking. I really liked book 1 but book 2 was even better.

    What! Surely you don’t mean to suggest that there is life outside my window.

    “I can't let down "my fans”.

    Good because we have no life apart from your blog, so when you don’t post, we tend to sleep a lot.

    I’m so happy for you getting married. The best thing that I ever did in life was to marry Peggy all those 44 years ago, and I can truthfully say that age has only made her more beautiful. You and Derek might be nothing like Peggy and me, but you nonetheless force me to think back on how sweet my life with Peggy has been despite no small amount of suffering. I’m likewise overcome with sweetness for the two of you. My wish for you is that you will always keep this blog because I would miss you. It seems odd that I should care so much, but I want to know that your life is happy and that the two of you are safe.

    1. Thank you so much! 44 years is nothing to sneeze at and clearly you still love eachother after all these years. I'm looking forward to getting married and sharing that with the people I've gotten to know through blogging.
