Stacy, do you remember when I mowed your lawn?

Good morning! I forgot to reset my alarms last night so I’m running about 15ish minutes late this morning. Coffee is brewing.

So the LiveInventory 2.0 is pretty much live. 2 weeks early, so all that’s left is to just workout all the bugs. I’m very proud of it. It looks worlds better that the Google doc that we were using before.

Also updated was this site. Crystal always does a great job, and the newest facelift is phenomenal. I really like it. So bright and cherry. I really like it.

So happy Tuesday. Stay warm everyone it’s only about -25/-37 with the wind. I think it’s slowly starting to get warm. I love you very much.

Lockup Library – some of the books I read last year – part 3

Posted on by Shawshank

Ahh the final entry in the three part series of some of the books I read last year. This one is a special one. It’s all one series. A series that I have read many, many times. So many times that it’s embarrassing. So gaze upon the majesty of this book series.

Gaze, I said. Gaze.

“Say it…” he whispered. “Vampire.” I shuddered.

That’s right! Take a trip back to Forks, Washington. It’s a time before social media, and cell phones. It’s just pure teen angst, and high school in a small town in the northwest.

Team Edward, or Team Jacob?

What can be said about this series? For one thing, it’s better than Fifty Shades of Grey, or so I’m told. I think I made it through the first book of that series. It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t all that great either.

This series, is totally the bomb.com. Action? Not until the last 25 pages – of each book. But if you want some romance, vampires, werewolves, gray days, and some angst? These books are for you.

They’re easy to read, and totally take you into the stories. Perfect for those rainy or snowy days where you just want to smoke some dank weed, and curl up.

They aren’t perfect in any way, but they’re perfect to me. I’m comfortable enough in my manliness to admit to crying at the end. Multiple times.

And to me, that’s a good book.

Catch ya in a book store sometime, book nerds!

Listen to Iron Maiden, baby, with me

Good morning, according to my weather alerts, it’s still bloody cold out there. It was supposed to be warmer out there. It’s not and I’ll be helping load a trailer in the cold. That’s ok, it has to be done.

It’s family day here. It’s an actual holiday. Family day right after a weekend. It boggles the mind.

Oh, great news, Wednesday I’ll be having Crystal guest posting here about her favourite book in the world, and how she’s taken book crafts to the extreme. It should be a great post for Lockup Library, and a very interesting read!

But for right now, Shady Acres is still asleep, and I have coffee. Let’s break the norm, and celebrate that it’s Monday! Woohoo Monday!

Book club – Plain Bad Heroines

Posted on by Shawshank

Hey book nerds! We’re still talking about Plain Bad Heroines by Emily M. Danforth. We’re at the half way point in the book, and if you’re like me while reading, you totally are getting sucked in as soon as you open the book. It makes it very hard to put it down when you want to go and do something else.

It’s still a very slow burn, which is what I really am liking about this. I’m thinking that it’s going to be like a rollercoaster cresting the top, and getting over the hump. I think it’s going to go by in a flash. I can and can’t wait for it.

When I get to the middle of a book, I start to get a little anxiety about finishing it. Not because I want it to end, but because the book is almost over. Then the anxiety of choosing the next book.

I really like the writing style of Mrs Danforth. It’s so meta, and really self aware. What do you guys like about the book? Any questions about it? Be sure to put them in a comment, and I’ll try to answer them.

Until next time, book nerds!

Easy like a Sunday morning

Finally what felt like a deep restful sleep. I was a little tossy turny, but for the most part it was a solid, restful, no moving sleep. It felt really good.

It was date night last night. After going back and forth on what we wanted to watch, I settled on watching the first two episodes of Ozark. We were both excited about a second season of Black Spot, before realizing that we’d already watched it. The first two episodes of Ozark were really good. I now have another show to watch. This one is almost at the top of the list, so I can catch up with Crystal. I do have some time, as she’s working her way through Buffy.

Only a couple of chores to do today. Just the stove. Gotta clean it and then relight it. It’s actually pretty easy, and only takes about 20 minutes. Then I’ll continue to relax.

The coffee is ready. Want a cup? Come on over. There’s more than enough.

Good morning, TinyTown
