I hate stuff that's depressing. Speaking of which...I haven't dug out my holiday fiction--I should probably be doing that :-)<br /><br />Stay inside where it's warm and snuggly. If you're anything like me you've a desire to hole up in your kitchen with something yummy and sweet in the oven...just no more KA recipes--they obviously suck.Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03072197242388253738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679123700391465393.post-4063233601445346042010-12-12T08:53:41.505-06:002010-12-12T08:53:41.505-06:00Hello Glenda,

It was so bitter yesterday, 19* but a 35+ mph wind, so it was like -10 windchill and the cold just went through you.<br />I am reading my garden catalogs, and working on plans for raised beds and vertical growing space in my tiny garden. I know, I am a spoiler, but when I can't get outside, I go buggy sometimes.<br />I am also working on putting in some sort of mushroom bed/space for these. I grew some last year and some did great, some didn't, a lot to learn about these wonderful, funny fungi.<br />Have a great week Glenda.denimflyzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04737448177805751756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679123700391465393.post-3946091700837508552010-12-12T07:42:31.867-06:002010-12-12T07:42:31.867-06:00Glenda, I never know if your waking habits are far...Glenda, I never know if your waking habits are farm work or sleep disorder. If they are the latter, you might look in the vitamin section for melatonin. It occurs naturally in us if we are younger but about middle age wanes and if you take one or even half of one it will get your body back in sync. My dr. told me about it. <br />http://www.bing.com/health/article/healthwise-1250011078/Melatonin-Overview?q=melatonin<br />Stay warm and be sure and put rocks in your pockets if you have to venture out!!Joy Tiltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04183952085695405635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679123700391465393.post-39565322599306606032010-12-12T06:59:55.258-06:002010-12-12T06:59:55.258-06:00I'll vote along with others that I read fictio...I'll vote along with others that I read fiction for entertainment, diversion or distraction. I love 'cozy' mysteries with interesting characters with little violence on the page (in fact, I'm writing one myself). I'll not pick up anything that will bring me down if I can help it. For non-fiction I like science books or the occasional biography. <br /><br />Raining here this morning. Snow this afternoon, then going to plummet tomorrow and the blizzard will hit. Oh boy...not! Keep warm, keep safe. Glad you got in some more milk.Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17822528453563683772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679123700391465393.post-89084259521223500752010-12-12T04:54:36.228-06:002010-12-12T04:54:36.228-06:00Well I agree with Bev.

I haven't read a fiction book for a long time. I read the Mitford series a few years ago and they were sweet and funny and reminded me so much of my little hometown. It's a series of stories about a minister's life in a small town. I read several of the John Grisham books and they were interesting but a little too graphic sometimes. <br /><br />I'm up early most mornings, too. This morning I got up at 4:30 because the heat pump was running and running and running. I started worrying that maybe the front door had fallen open or something. But everything was ok, just colder than a well-digger's big toe out there. I've been getting up early since the time change. I just can't get adjusted. <br /><br />Every now and then I think I should start reading in the evening instead of watching some of the stuff Hubs watches on TV. But I have no clue where to start.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679123700391465393.post-24557775852469238562010-12-11T22:57:16.482-06:002010-12-11T22:57:16.482-06:00I hope your weather warms up soon.

I spend too much time on the computer. I used to read a lot. My favorites were James Michener books.<br /><br />Well, you keep warm, too!Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679123700391465393.post-56075939764918169112010-12-11T21:23:30.825-06:002010-12-11T21:23:30.825-06:00Hi Glenda, we must be on the same wave length when...Hi Glenda, we must be on the same wave length when it comes to sleep-my 'wake-up stat' is out of whack and I really hate that-hate waking in the early hours!<br /><br />I read (and watch movies) to entertain and make myself feel upbeat. Too many things happening in real time to make a person depressed, so I try not to let that happen on purpose. Guess I am into 'fluff' at this stage in my life. Grin<br /><br />Turning colder rapidly, 20 when I looked last, and really gusty wind. Think I will leave the cabinet doors open under the sinks and maybe leave some water running although DH says not necessary tonight. <br /><br />Stay warm-------Bev J.Bev J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18075881108883630511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679123700391465393.post-80390939329148520222010-12-11T18:46:45.186-06:002010-12-11T18:46:45.186-06:00I just watched the movie of "The Road". ...I just watched the movie of "The Road". What a horribly depressing movie! I never read the book because I knew what the basic idea was. I get REALLY into books and didn't want to go there so just waited for movie. Much less intense for me that way but it was still horrible.SpeedKinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12996605965537083230noreply@blogger.com
