Nerdy Apple Bottom

I’ve had such a busy week that I’ve not had the chance to actually finish a book. That is mind-boggling to me. I am always readinga book. And I usually get through them pretty quickly, but not this week. I have however been trying to clear out some magazines. And yes, I did just subscribe to a bunch around Christmas. [I am a masochist.]

Some of what I’m reading [and in no particular order]:

Subscribed to this in Peanut’s name as a Christmas gift. And then forgot about it. The first issue just arrived. There are some basic crafts and menus. I’m hoping she’ll want to do a few and help Bubba do them too. FTW!

I’ve only received one issue so far [and it isn't the one pictured], which reminds me I need to call them.
Update: Called in to subscriptions and they are sending out the Mr. Burns issue today. Wee!

Ah a sweet little treat in my otherwise monotonous life. Very much a guilty pleasure. After ordering something completely unrelated, Amazon offered me 12 weeks of this for $1. How could I pass that up? I also ordered Rolling Stone for $1. I have no idea who half the “celebrities” are, but I still enjoy it. Perhaps I am too old to read it?

I love Time. [And I wish I had more of it, ba dah dah], but I do need to get better about reading it immediately.It becomes irrelevant very quickly.

Oh, Oprah. I do enjoy her magazine, but it is so thick. As long as I read the part on books and the article where someone famous picks books that mean something to them, I am good. [This was another one of those Amazon deals.]

The Girl Scouts sell magazines as a fundraiser and to earn free nights of camping. I chose Harper’s. The catalog company mistakenly submitted the order for Harper’s Bazaar, which is a VERY different magazine.

As for the library books, I once again have WAY too many checked out.

The last Dickens : a novel Pearl, Matthew
