Good morning! Today’s post will link up to Sunday Salon, The Sunday Post, and Book Journey, for Weekly Updates.
**Mailbox Monday is now hosted at the home site: Mailbox Monday.
Good morning, Bloggers! Grab some coffee (or a mimosa), and let’s talk about our weeks.
Earlier today, I was out running errands and having lunch…and couldn’t wait to get back home. It is still very hot out, with triple digits through the weekend. Someone posted about snow on her blog…and I was green with envy! Even though I don’t necessarily want snow here…
Next weekend, I am looking forward to Bloggiesta...and the movie This Is Where I Leave You. Yes, I have posted about it before, but I can’t stop gushing. I loved the book, and I adore the actors in the cast….so that’s how it goes.
Do you have anything you are gushing about? While you are pondering, here’s what happened in my blog world this past week.

And there we are…the cycle is complete! Blog Posts Written, Books Read and Reviewed, New Books on the Stacks….and Upcoming Reads. Do you ever feel as if your routines are so predictable you could complete them in your sleep? Is it a good thing to change up the routines occasionally?
Something to ponder. I spend time every week messing around with my blogs, from the themes to the backgrounds and headers. Earlier today, I cleared out some of the files in my office…it was amazing the outdated things I found there!
