REAL LIFE UPDATE

[jenni_blog]

I have been extremely, horrendously, frustratingly busy for the past week. There are many posts and things I need to catch up on, and will do so soon. Right now I am exhausted and will use today to watch football, tidy up the house a little bit and read some posts, e-mail, etc. Tomorrow I will begin to catch up by leaving comments and replying to different things, as well as go back to collecting photos and perhaps doing a few picspams.

I worked two shifts yesterday...my own as well as a coworker's who went up north to visit her family in Windsor, which is just north of Detroit, Michigan.
Olivia and Joseph left this morning to go back to Montreal. I will miss them horribly but they'll be back on November 10th, to stay for awhile (I hope through Christmas).
I am working on my travel plans to Europe. I should be leaving on December 1st and should be back around December 13th. Details to follow once I have finalized everything.

My most recent major purchase: an Amazon Kindle e-reader! I've been spending some time learning my way around this. I've bought a few books to read on it, like Never Let Me Go by Kasuo Ishiguro which I've just started, as well as some freebies, including a 25-language phrasebook which will come in handy when in Europe. :)

OK, I'll catch up with everybody soon, I promise!♥

Rest up and have fun watching the football games!
Is it weird reading books on the e-reader vs paper?

edit: Came back to mention that I ran into pics of Andy Carroll today while looking for Schalke pics (all games were mixed together) and it reminded me of you :p He scored today! and then I saw your spammers LOL yeah, don't forget those ballroom drapes! :p hahaha wtf

I feel your pain about being busy all week. I'm so far behind with commenting it's not even funny.

I don't think I'll buy an e-reader yet. I like holding a book in my hands, if I travelled more it would make sense to get one, but for now I'll stick to books.

OMG! You sounded quite exhausted in that e-mail you sent me, so I felt a bit bad for loading yet another thing on you... *bites lip*

Hee, it's only 31 days until Bilbao now! *happydance* I'm so excited! Have you thought about the other places you want to visit when you're in Europe?

Take your time catching up, I'm sure everybody will understand! :)

Hope you have rested up and had the opportunity to watch football this weekend. It was a great weekend for Real Madrid fans. I am glad to hear the Kindle is working out for you. I love my Kobo - it is just so much lighter than having to carry books around and it fits in the tiniest of bags. It really will be useful for your vacation.
