Nothing overly exciting has been happening. We've found our summer routine and have settled into it. I've decided to try something new so I would be motivated to update the blog more often. Starting this month I'll keep a running tab on things like words written, stitches made and books read, I"ve got it all marked down in my journal. And of course I'll update the pictures as often as I get them. I've got a roll of film sitting here waiting to get developed. I know Jesse's Karate tournament is on there and I think his last testing (Lion patch and Camo headband) is on there and some pics of them playing in the sprinklers as well. I'll probably drop it off sometime this week as I gotta get more film for next week when he tests for his Green belt.
Reading wise I'm nearing the finish line in Harlequin's 100 book challenge. I will probably hit 100 this month or next. Last month my obsession with Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series (I read 11 of the 12 books) dramatically increased my book count. I'm slowing down now and taking my time. I've read several E-books and written reviews on them for The Enchanted Ramblings E-zine. I've already finished this months LUNAs both were awesome reads. I took a week reading each of them just so I could really savor the characters and plots. Now I'm digging through my TBR pile looking for things that catch my eye and steadily working my way through Jhenah Telynoru's AVALON WITHIN. It's an amazing book, that needs to be read sloooowly so all the material can be set in.
Books read: 76
Words written......well it feels slow moving but I've got a buch of stuff hand written in my notebook so it can't be that bad. Just need to get it all typed into Word so I can add it to the word count. Although, it should be noted and celebrated that I actualy stuck with a story all the way through and wrote the words 'The End' on it. The last few weeks have been really dry, it's been something like three weeks since I made goal over at the Enchanted Scribe. The muse has been missing something fierce lately. But I tossed and turned last night from dreams which usually means she's back and ready to work again *crosses fingers*. Here's to a better week writing wise!

Stitching is actually going well, if you ignore the fact that I've got six projects going all at once. I'm shooting for 3 finished projects by year end. I'm gonna scan each of them in and start picture folders that reflect my progress. I think I'll try to update those monthly as I rotate through them often, weekly seems to be the most recent trend. What can I say I hate doing back grounds, it gets monotonous.
Stitches made: 5, 738
