Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, totally worn out and screaming,
"WOO HOO, what a ride!"

Mailbox Monday

Mailbox Monday (started at The Printed Page and now a traveling meme) is at Cindy's Love of Books this month and is the gathering place for readers to share the books that came into their house last week (checked out library books don’t count, eBooks & audio books do). Warning: Mailbox Monday can lead to envy, toppling TBR piles and humongous wish lists.

I was a little under the weather last week but I did get to lounge around and read a bit. And all that snow and rain made it easier to snuggle down and be lazy. (OK, that's just an excuse because I can be lazy and read under any conditions.) I did get some goodies in the mail that I look forward to starting and with any luck I'll be enjoying them in my hammock, if I dare put it out this week. Oh how I've missed my wonderful hammock! I hope lots of goodies made their way to your home and you also found plenty of lazy reading time.

Another week of crazy weather and it's not done yet! After the mildest winter I've ever seen I really can't complain but in the last seven days we've had rain, snow showers, sun and 80s, and now we are gearing up for a major snow storm. Argh! Well it is April in western NY state so it's not really that unusual but it sucks to have to mow your lawn and plow your driveway all  in the same week. I'm glad I didn't put my hammock up yet. Since several inches are predicted with the possibility of losing our power I need to post this while I can.  Fortunately for me I can read in any kind of weather.

I didn't get anything accomplished in blogland last week so I guess that was my spring break. Ha! Now it's back to work. These are a few of the goodies I got recently along with some libraries books and I'll be giving away some of my recent finds this week. I hope you are welcoming spring with some great reads!
