I'm currently having a cold beer, finishing laundry and picking up my book that made me yelp on the train ride home from work.

I need to know what book made you yelp!
Drinking roasted cinnamon coffee and going through my physical books to find the ones I haven't read yet.
I drank water. Watched movies with mom and am going to try to read a bit. I have a cancer check up in the morning so there’s that!!

Yes, tell us what book made you yelp!
I am drinking Diet Pepsi and reading The Waiting. Tomorrow I plan to make a pie for Thursday,, which is Pi Day!

I'm bashful to say but its Scythe (Arc of a Scythe, #1) by Neal Shusterman which is above middle grade and encroaching on YA.. but the moral in this story is top notch.

Melissa, all my love tomorrow morning, I will be thinking of you.

Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers, Melissa.

I'm currently on the dregs of a can of Kirk's Pasito and wondering how on earth am I going to slog through the last 10% of Peter Straub's Ghost Story

Hope the news is good. Another Mel xx

Not drinking anything at the moment (it's almost 5 a.m. where I am and it's a work day).
Good luck today, Melissa!It's morning, so I'm having the rest of my coffee and contemplating whether or not I can finish Ron Kelly's FEAR today. :)
I'll be back for a cocktail tonight. This is a great idea, Wendy!
Mod
I hope everything goes well for you today! /hugs
Best of luck with your follow up today, Melissa. I'm here working, eating a Chobani flip and wishing I were home reading and eating a pizza.
So we now have a drinking thread! Very cool! Wendy, you are the mod! Now I just need to sit down and sip on my mango tequila patron while I am reading one of my books. :)
I will have to get started sipping it while I read "Becoming" by Glenn Rolfe. Stayed up till the middle of the night reading it and could not put it down. Finally did put it down as I had to go to sleep, but it was hard to even do that.
Mod
No problems, provided you don't mind me washing down my scrambled egg supper with Wild Turkey Rare Breed, while I look through my new cookbook

WendyB wrote: "Clean underwear is over-rated anyway... amirite? lol"Well have someone drop your laundry off to the laundromat and have someone else do it for you. I have done that once or twice so I didn't have to worry about it. :)

WendyB wrote: "Clean underwear is over-rated anyway... amirite? lol"Yeah, who needs that? Drink and read naked if you have to!
WendyB wrote: "My heart goes out to New Zealand with this horrible act of terrorism in their country. Why can't we all get along?"Yeah, my heart goes out to them too. It seems like intolerance is on the rise and it saddens me. Live and let live.
Cheers! Right now, i'm drinking bitter Frisian beer (Jever), listen to audio dramas based on the Jurassic Park movies, and started reading The Delicate Dependency: A Novel of the Vampire Life. Tomorrow, I'll start a buddy read of A Feast for Crows and A Dance with Dragons.
I wouldn't mind if some IS assholes got killed, but probably, those people in New Zealand were just innocent bystanders, so the act is apparently quite stupid and despicable.

I'm going through my physical books to pick my travel lineup for April and enjoying a glass of 16yo Aberlour Double Cask to help with the decision :PSo far I got The Fisherman, Last Days, Strange Weather and The 4-Hour Workweek. Since I'm gone for a week I need three more, any suggestions (preferably books with about 300 pages)?

Sounds like you need a Kindle or some such thing. Less to carry.
And nice choice of Scotch!
Mod
Yeah, who needs that? Drink and read naked if you have to!"
LOL That would work well here when the temps are over 100. I've sat on the pool steps reading during the summer but only with a book I didn't care about getting wet.
I do have a Kindle, but I'm actually making a point of not bringing any unnecessary electric devices with me. It's blackout time :)

I went out to dinner last night and had a madras made with stoli raspberry, it was pretty good and so was dinner. Then I went home and continued on with My Cousin Rachel
Mod
Green beer will be served all day to those that have a stomach for it.
For myself, I prefer some nice Irish Whiskey.
Happy St.Patrick's Day everyone? Are the drinks here haunted too?

Irish coffees are good.

I've done that too! (Reading on the pool steps.)
Also, last year I found an inexpensive float that has a pillow and drink holders. BEST. THING.EVER!
It's a glass (or two) of merlot tonight, my hubby at the other end of the couch, the pug on my lap and Michael Koryta's The Ridge for entertainment. :)
I was sitting last night sipping a mango tequila while staying riveted to the book "The 13th" by John Everson.
WendyB wrote: "Nice. I'd never leave the pool."I pretty much don't in the summer time! Other than work and taking my mom out on Saturdays, the pool is my home for 3 months of the year.

Looking forward to it being the end of the work week so I can sit back and relax with some Bacardi limon and Ocean Spray cran-raspberry.
