Random 5 Friday is a weekly meme hosted by Nancy at A Rural Journal.
1. I have a cold! Blech. I haven't wanted to do much of anything after work besides sleeping, reading, and watching tv. When I am sick, I turn to comfort books. This week I started reading a slew of Christmas romances, and have been devouring them like candy. This is the one I am currently reading.
2. Peppermint Mochas are back for the season! Yay! Something to celebrate for sure.

3. It also snowed this week! I love snow, I was so happy to see it falling from the sky and covering everything in a blanket of white. It didn't stay long, but it was pretty while it lasted.
4. Billy and I went on an Owl Prowl last weekend at our favorite metro park. We walked around with a little group of people, and the interpreter Kevin, lured screech owls to us to see. It was really cool! We ended up seeing a cute little screech. Another interpreter made the origami owls above. I am impressed!
5. Its my school book fair next week, and I have been setting up for it all morning. I am really excited for the kids to visit!
The only good thing about diseases is that you get to read...
ReplyDeleteGet well soon!
Thanks! Yes, it is almost like your body forces you to take a break. I am enjoying my reading time.
DeleteI love to read in the cold winter months too!!! Well, heck, I like to read anytime. And if you say it's like eating candy...that's great....no calories in book reading!! [even so, at least the paper is fiber...that's good for you....KIDDING!!]
ReplyDeleteps....and here I left without telling you I hope you're feeling better soon!! So had to come back.
DeleteThank you for the heads up on the peppermint mocha! I have a gift card burning a hole in my pocket. Also, OWLS! That sounds nifty!
ReplyDeleteThe owl prowl was very cool! Even if we don't see any, it is fun to tramp through the woods at night, listening for them.
DeleteI could go for a peppermint mocha right now. Hope you feel better!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Deleteoh no, sorry you aren't feeling well. i had that cold last week...hope you feel better soon. i'm reading the pilot's wife. such great writing. i know it's older but i pick up most of my books from goodwill! have a great weekend :)
ReplyDeleteI have a nice new inhaler courtesy of the doctor - and now I am feeling much better. :) I pick up books from garage sales and books sales and goodwill too. :) I have heard great things about The Pilot's Wife.
DeleteThat looks like a good book to read. I hope you feel better soon, it's not fun having colds. I LOVE peppermint, it's my favorite kind of ice cream and tho I've not had it ever, peppermint mocha sounds like heaven.
ReplyDeleteYes! I try to limit my intake so that they always remain a treat, but I could seriously drink them every day. :) It was such a fun book, I think there is nothing happier than a Christmas romance. :)
Deletesounds like a good book. i will look it up. thanks for the suggestion. always love hearing about others' book finds.
ReplyDeletefeel better. sorry to hear you are not up to par.

It was a nice fun easy read. Sometimes you just need that. :)
DeleteI really don't have much to add to your random 5 but I did enjoy reading them. I tend to read 'easy' books, too when I don't feel well. When I am sick cannot concentrate enough to take in a serious book. Besides, I like a bit of light reading mixed in with the other.
ReplyDeleteYes, exactly! I really enjoy Christmas romances for that kind of reading (near Christmas) because they are such happy books. :)
DeleteThanks for stopping by my blog. Interesting. I teach reading to at risk students at an elementary school, so that means I read all day, almost every day. I love the name of your blog.
ReplyDeleteI work in an elementary school library! :)
DeleteAnd thank you! :)
I hope you are feeling better now.
