Bloggiesta Update #1

Day 1 of Bloggiesta,being hosted by Suey atIt’s All About Booksand Danielle atThere’s a Book, has come to an end and now we are on to day 2.

 

I got quite a bit done yesterday despite having
to run out to the mall on an emergency shopping trip for a cocktail
dress for my awards ceremony next week – the dress I had been planning
on wearing didn’t fit and I needed a new one. Anyway, crisis adverted – I
got a great new dress which I love – thank you White House Black Market!

    Great progress! I checked out your About Me page; very lovely. Your wedding picture is very sweet! It must be great having reading in common with your hubby. Best of luck with the rest of your list. 🙂

      Thank you. Yes, it is great that we both love to read – it means he's really supportive of not only my reading/spending habits (of books) but also of my blog!

    Nice to see that you checked things off your list. Also I am impressed by the progress bars on your reading challenges!

      Thanks. I found those progress bars on someone else's blog and loved them. If you click on one of the bars, it takes you to the website where you can create your own. It's pretty easy to do.
