Short But Sweet...It's A Busy Life!

Welcome To Another Wednesday Check-In!  Visit fellow ROW80 writers....

Today, I'll be brief.  That'll be a first, right? Ha!  It's true.  I've got more than my fair share of irons in the fire...and it's catching up with me at present moment. 

Hopping around with The Third Fate's blog tour has been whirl-windy and fun, but rigorous too.  Then, I've been reading the infamous Fifty Shades Trilogy.  I finished book one on Friday or Saturday (read it in less than two days) and wrote up a written review which I shared on Goodreads, not something I normally do.  I enjoyed James' story more than I expected to.  More on that later....  I'm also working on projects around the house (No...still no office renovations as of yet.  Sigh) and gallivanting around town with my girlfriends.  It's been a social bonanza.  I've not touched my stove in over a week - my boys don't know what to make of it!  Ha.  Not my regular routine at all, but extremely fun.  

*  Chapter two is written in my current WIP, and I'm writing away on chapter three.  So...writing goal met!  I should get some good writing done today - fingers crossed. 

*  Chapter one is typed!  I'm basking in this accomplished task...trying not to think about beginning the process for chapter two...lol.

*  Exercise goals ...well, I don't have clearly defined goals.  Just that I do work my body.  Done!  I've continued alternating upper and lower body by days.  I may add in abdominal days, but some of my other exercises work core strength pretty well. 

*  Social goals have been met.  I keep a running goal of visiting five fellow writers/bloggers on each day Monday through Friday.  This is quite easy as I love reading what everyone is getting into. 

That's it!  Have a great weekend!

  3. Sounds like you're balancing everything as well as possible. I try to keep multiple balls in the air, but I'm having to learn how to deal with it when one of them bounces to the floor!

  4. Yay for getting chapter 2 done and for the blog tour! :) 50 Shades is on my TBR list which I am going to start tackling this weekend. So many books to read and so little time! Have a great rest of the week!

    1. I was nervous to read Fifty Shades of Grey...my girlfriends - shout out to Denise, Laurie, and Jenny - warned me about its subject matter - not my usual reading tastes. But I will tell you that I think it well done. It showed 'fifty-shades' of the subject, the uncomfortable facets along with the sensual, making the story and characters very 'real'. I was surprised. The inner emotions were also extremely well done.
      However...there was way too much schtooping. Maybe nicely done schtooping...but over much. Other than that - and for some because of that - I gave this book a high rating.

  6. So many goals met and typing? SuperWoman! My goals took a dive but I'm getting back to them now that my Hubby is feeling much better. I've heard of Fifty Shades but by which author? I'm still on book two of Game of Thrones and enjoying the story. Thanks for your blog check in. A short yet sweet read!

    1. Ha! I wish I was Super-Woman! Believe me...I'm struggling to get the darned typing done. Oh!-I-hate-the-typing.

      Glad hubby is on the mend.

      I've heard great things about Game of Thrones -it is on my TBR pile, er, mountain. lol

  7. Good job keeping up with your goals. I think my guys would revolt if I didn't cook. They are sooooo picky.
