Seriously Standing in the Need of Prayer

OK… some ways to pray for us right now.

[+] Jobs for Jon and I.? We need the income desperately.

[+] Internet for 24 hours so I can do Blogathon in July.? We don’t have wi-fi at the Snuggery and I need to find a place where I can have Internet consistently from 6 a.m. on the 31st to 6 a.m. on the 1st for Blogathon.

[+] For relief from the severe gastritis and spastic colon that all the stress is causing.

[+] For my father-in-law as he’s dealing with his health challenges.

Recent Reads

As we have no Internet or TV at the Snuggery, I have been taking full advantage of the LA County Library System and catching up on my “to-read” list. So far, I’ve discovered:

[+] The Miss Julia books by Ann B. Ross
[+] Leslie Meier’s books about Lucy Stone and solving crimes in a small town in Maine (light and fluffy)
[+] Louise Penny’s mysteries about Canada (very spooky in tone)
[+] the latest Joanne Fluke books, the latest Joanna Carl books, and the latest in some other series I read

It has been a good thing and it’s keeping me relatively sane.? My only problem: I read really quickly and I’m having to find new series to keep myself occupied.

It’s also a cheap form of entertainment — I’ve saved hundreds of dollars in book purchases as well as storage space that I don’t have at the moment.

Any suggestions for new reads?

A Fun Idea

I saw on Fizleglitz yesterday that Lauren got a Postcrossing postcard from Poland. It looked like a cool idea so I signed up, got five addresses, and sent out postcards to Belarus, Canada, Russia, Taiwan, and Norway. I am really looking forward to seeing the places from which my postcards arrive.
