Sunday Post: Aug 30

rp_sundaypostmeme13.jpgThe Sunday Post is a meme hosted by Kimba at Caffeinated Book Reviewer.

I like this meme because it gives me an opportunity to take a look back at last week and forward to next week in both my personal life and my blog and book life! I also like to see what other people are doing and what books everyone is reading. This is a great meme to take part in every week and I thank Kimba for hosting it!

Last Week

Home & blog

September begins! This is one of my favorite times of the year. Even though my children are grown and aren’t in school anymore I still have the excitement of this time of year. School is starting, the weather is getting cooler. It’s a time to work on new projects.

I’ve started thinking about changes I want to make on my I’m trying to decide what I want to do and trying to learn more about some of the background aspects of the blog–SEO, Google analytics and security settings so I can use and understand my blog better. I also want to make some design changes as well as creating a better blog identity. I enjoy tinkering though I’m not so good at some of the technical aspects.

Home & blog

A dear friend is coming to visit! We haven’t seen her for several years so we’re planning for lots of conversation and fun times. She’s staying for a week so we’re happy about that. I’m trying to make sure I have my posts all ready for next week and the week after.

COYER Scavenger Hut is finishing up so I’m trying to get all the books I’ve read reviewed.

Author: Jan

I love to read--especially mysteries, science fiction and fantasy. I also love blogging, photography, gardening, playing Mah Jonng, reading with a cat on my lap, throwing a ball for a dog, creating cards to send to family and friends, reading book blogs, using my computer.

  1. I like this time of year too. The cool weather and everything else… and I just saw that SciFi month is happening again. Yay! That was fun last year- lots of neat sci fi stuff.

    I liked your Tuesday syllabus post, good choices there. Why didn’t I ever have a class like this? 🙂

    Enjoy your visit!

  2. I love this time of year. The humidity starts dropping. Don’t like the cooler weather to come though. I’m also toying with ideas to redesign and update my blog. I know just enough to scare me. LOL

    1. I know, Laura, though the humidity and heat are back for us this week. And as far as my blog goes I know some stuff, but other stuff I’m at a loss…frustrating.

  3. I enjoy this time of year as well. I love summer but by mid to the end of August it’s too hot and everything is starting to look dry and is dying. Plus I love when the kids get back to school and we can restart our routine! Enjoy your visit with your friend and have a great week!
