You know what I forgot? How impatient I am while waiting for others to do their jobs so I can make decisions 
This is zero reflection on the person I’m waiting for, but a 100% a reflection on me — yep, still impatient!!! Another example, after discussing my choice with a few people including my tech savvy (she worked in the industry) I realized I need to slow down and do a bit more research…and maybe grow up, LOL????
Okay, now onto reading. For myself, I’m slow-reading THE BETWEEN OCEANS by M. L. Stedman. So I read the first few pages and right off didn’t care for the narrator. I set the book down for a week, then I picked it back up one evening when I was bored and started enjoying it. The narrator grew on me in an unexpected way. I don’t feel a need to consume the book, if anything, it has a lyrical flow that I feel should be experienced in slower bites.
That’s all I’m really reading at the moment, how about you?
Happy Reading Wednesday!

😂Impatient – NO!😂 I hope you get your research done and find the perfect laptop very soon.
I think our moods can determine how we’re liking a read at any given time. It’s good to know that you are now enjoying this book.
I picked up Giada De Laurentiis new cookbook – Super-Italian : more than 110 indulgent recipes using Italy’s healthiest foods while at the library the other day. Since I can’t stay awake to read, I figured I could look at pictures 😉. It’s lovely and the recipes sound very good.
I hope you’re having a good day.

Sadly, I don’t think I’ve listened to anything for any period of time in the past week. I’m in a slump–reading and writing. I need to find something to really catch my attention or go back and pick up a sure-fire read that I’ve read…oh, I don’t know…a dozen times before?
And Jen, patience IS a virtue. Just sayin’…
Enjoy the rest of your week, all.

Viki, I’m sure we’re all shocked at me being impatient
But seriously, I don’t need the info right now, I just want it and so I can wait.
I think I know what I’m going to do laptop wise, but just doing some fact checking. I really appreciate my DIL’s help in guiding me to think through a few key points.
I love cookbooks! And I’m betting Giana’s is beautiful in every way. I hope you’re enjoying it!
I still fall asleep when reading, so I get it. The frustration is real.
We’ve had a great day and hope you are too!

Silver, I hate those reading slumps and we all seem to get them. I hope you find the perfect spell breaker for it!
Yep, patience is a virtue, LOL. I’m better than I used to be, and so I was surprised by this wave of checking constantly to see if the info is in my inbox
I really hope you and LG have fully recovered from the virus crud you had.
