Rae's Reality

My little tiger sleeping.

Hi I'm Rae; this is my third time being part of the 75ers group. I am 24; I have a 4 month old Kitten named Mayhem who I absolutely adore. My favorite thing to do is work on one of my many stories I am writing. I love watching crime shows especially with my mom as we share a love for them. I plan to read a lot of books this year whether graphic novels or books.

Books I am currently reading

The Ancient Magus Bride Vol. 1

Reawakened I read her Tiger's Curse series and absolutely loved them one of my favorite series. I have read the first book multiple times and the second more then twice.

Hi, Rae!!

Happy New Year, Rae! Welcome back!

I am part of the group.
I love being part of the group.

I love that race and creed and gender and age and sexuality and nationality make absolutely no difference to our being a valued member of the group.

Thank you for also being part of the group.

I look forward to seeing what you ladies read collectively this year, Rae.

Great to have you on board again, Rae! Happy new year!

Happy New Year!!! Your thread looks great.

Happy new year, Rae! Wishing you a great reading year.

Welcome back!

Happy New Year, Rae!

Having heard of your Pecan Paradisio book club, MrMorphy and I have decided to do the same thing. We won't be doing much fantasy though as that isn't his type of thing so for January we'll be reading the classic science fiction The Mote in God's Eye by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle.

Glad to see you posting!

Happy new year and welcome back Rae!

Happy New Year Rae. Glad you're back for another year.

Nice to see you, Rae! Congratulations on your little Mayhem :)

Welcome back, Rae! I'm looking forward to seeing more adorable pics of little Mayhem!

Morning, Rae!

>7 FAMeulstee: Thank you Anita and welcome to my thread. I am currently reading a graphic novel I got for Christmas The Ancient Magus Bride. It was a gift from Birdy I am really liking it so far.

>8 Crazymamie: Thanks Mom I am excited to see what this year holds for me.

>9 scaifea: Hello Amber welcome to my thread.

>10 ronincats: Thanks Roni it's good to see you here welcome to my thread happy new year to you.

>11 cbl_tn: Hey Carrie happy new year glad you could stop by my thread and thanks for the star.

>12 PaulCranswick: Hello Paul thanks for stopping by happy new year; I am excited about the book club. Our January read is The Thief it sounds interesting.

>13 katiekrug: Katie! Hey I am happy to be here and thrilled about the Giants win last Sunday.

>14 thearlybirdy: Happy new year Birdy I like your thread as well great to see you in the group.

>15 tymfos: Hi Terri, Happy New Year to you and thanks I wish you the same.

>16 drneutron: Thank you Jim, it is great to be here looking forward to this year.

>17 DianaNL: Happy New Year back Diana thank you for stopping by. Hope this year brings many great things for you and much happiness.

>18 Morphidae: It is so lovely to see you hear Morphy; that is awesome news. I will be interested to see what else you two read this year.

Thank you, I sort of fell of the radar here at the end of last year. There was so much going on around here it was kind of crazy. I hope to be more present this year on the threads.

>19 souloftherose: Thank you Heather, and Happy New Year to you too it's good to be back.

These family book clubs are a great idea, I must say. I wanted to follow suit but nobody in my household was remotely interested in reading along with me. Belle's description of my book choices as being "crap" was, I thought, overly dismissive.

>20 SuziQoregon: Thanks Juli, Happy New Year, I hope to find some awesome reads.

>21 mckait: Thank you Kath, welcome to my thread thanks for coming. Mayhem is my world I absolutely adore him to pieces. He is aptly named as he loves to cause Mayhem often.

>22 Carmenere: Thank you Lynda, welcome to my thread I plan to post several during the year. He is getting pretty big I can't believe how small he was.

>23 Crazymamie: Morning Mom always delighted to see you here makes my day.

I think I am all caught up now if I missed anyone please let me know. This week is a little strange as many businesses do not have power. I am enjoying the time off however more time to read.

*Clears throat* Hmm just above at >28 PaulCranswick:!

>28 PaulCranswick: Sorry about that Paul you snuck in while I was posting I didn't notice obviously. I am sorry to hear your family isn't interested in doing a book club for shame. They don't know what they are missing Paul I found the part about Belle funny.

So yesterday I rearranged my bookshelf as there are some books I will never read on it. I know the horror don't panic they will all be donated to our local library so someone else can enjoy reading them. I happened to pick up a few to refresh my memory as to what they were about. Well naturally one of those I decided to immediately start reading. I am liking it so far and will be interested to see where it goes I hope its good. I already like here Tiger's curse series so I am certain I will enjoy this one as well.

Last night my plans for today took an unexpected turn when my father got home. He asked each of us kids for help if we were willing to give it we all agreed. So we spent several hours moving furniture and supplies from his office to a temporary building. At least this one has electricity which is more then what his office currently offers. The storms knocked out power around their building and it could be a while before they have it back. We had to clean the new area we will be using and then arrange everything. On the bright side plenty of people were there to help move things over. We got it all taken care of so they can see patients there tomorrow just sick. In the meantime till they are fully up and running I get to enjoy some days off. I am loving every moment of it and like seeing my siblings more and relaxing. On the downside after their office is back to working perfectly we will have to move everything back. Not really looking forward to do doing though I will of course be there to help.

>33 GeezLouise: - I love serendipitously falling into a good book like that!

>34 GeezLouise: - Enjoy your time off!

Do they say how long they think it will be before the electricity will be back on?

Found your thread, Rae. Happy New Year!

Oof, moving it all to a temporary office, and then back again. What a pain. I'm glad at least you have lots of folks to help.

I hope you continue to enjoy the bit of time off, and that you have a great weekend.

Hi Rae! Your mom mentioned that you and Birdy had threads so I thought I would visit. Have a happy new year!

Coming over here to wish your Giants good luck today, Rae. GO GIANTS!

Oh, I like that one, Katie!

>35 katiekrug: Hey Katie, it doesn't often happen to me as I usually read something someone suggested or a specific book I think of.

I certainly have enjoyed the time off I start back in this weskit will probably be crazy.

>36 Morphidae: The polls are back up they just need to get the transformers before they can move forward.

>37 jnwelch: So glad you could make it Joe feel free to stay awhile and relax.

Yeah it was nice to have several people everyone there is nice it should be easier moving back. Though I am not looking forward to it I imagine this week will be crazy. Hopefully its not too bad for us I am glad I am not a doctor or a nurse.

Thanks I will do that, and I hope you had a great weekend as well.

>38 ChelleBearss: Hello Chelle, I always love seeing new people stop by my thread, and have a happy new year as well.

>39 Crazymamie: Hey Mom, thanks I am so excited we made it into the playoffs and that we get to see the game. I shall be decked out in my giants stuff cheering them on. LET'S GO GIANTS!

>40 katiekrug: I love that image definitely a favorite thanks Katie now we are ready to support the giants this afternoon.

>41 Crazymamie: It is so perfect.

GO GIANTS!!!

*Sad face*

Sorry the Giants lost Rae.

Hi, Rae. My husband is a Giants fan, too; I was really sorry to see them lose.

Happy Friday, Rae!

So did they ever get the electricity back up? And the furniture moved back?

Things have been a little crazy last week and so far this one. I appreciate those who visited while I was gone always love new posts.

>44 thearlybirdy: Thanks Birdy though I wish they had won the game and gone on.

>45 katiekrug: I know I was so disappointed Katie it would have been cool to have them advance.

>46 thearlybirdy: Thanks Birdy I hope either your Falcons or Greenbay go to the Super Bowl and win.

>47 tymfos: Thanks Terri perhaps next year we will do really awesome. I was happy to see them having a better season then the last two years.

>48 katiekrug: Thanks Katie I hope you are having a wonderful week. How is living in New York do you like it better then Texas?

>49 Morphidae: Hey Morphy, we did get power back and were unsure if we had phones and Internet. The plan is to move back on Friday if everything is ready to go. Fingers crossed I am ready to move back so are the others.

Happy Friday, Rae! I hope you have a relaxing weekend.

Thanks Joe same to you my Friday was a busy one glad it's over.

Today was a little long and very productive as we got everything moved back over. The office will be ready to go come Monday yay. It all went smoothly and was a lot easier to move back. I am looking forward to sleeping in and relaxing this weekend. It is off to a great start as I watched tv with my mom. One of my very favorite things to do I always look forward to it.

Happy Friday, Rae! I hope the week went well for you. Have a good weekend, my friend.

>54 GeezLouise: Wonder if you're still asleep, Rae?!

When you do start your weekend - have a great one.

Happy Saturday, Rae!

I'm so happy to hear everything is moved back and back to "normal." I hope you have a good weekend. Any particular books or movies you'll be reading/watching?

Thanks for visiting me! How good of you to help your Dad.

Okay so I thought I had posted replies to Mark, Paul, and Amber earlier this morning. Not sure what happened to it very weird I do appreciate the visitors.

>55 msf59: Hey Mark, thank you it did go pretty well and my weekend was great very relaxing.

>56 PaulCranswick: Hi Paul, I got up at about 9 though I meant to get up at eight to go get doughnuts. I wanted to get them before Superman had to work didn't quite manage that. Never the less they were a big hit so that was good we love doughnuts. Thank you for those wishes hope yours was lovely as well and you have a great week.

>57 scaifea: Hello Amber, thanks hope your weekend was wonderful, and you and your family have a lovely week.

>58 Morphidae: Hey Morphy, yes everyone at work is very happy to be back in our usual office. Though I have a feeling the first few days will be crazy especially tomorrow. I have a lot of stuff to catch up on so I will be pretty busy to start off with. Last night my family and I watched the big sleep the original version it was so good. I didn't know they had redone it so watching the original was a lot of fun. I liked it better then the other one for the most part we had a great time. The Thief is this months book for our book club I am going to start it tomorrow, I was sort of waiting for the paper copy. Good thing its so short or I might have more trouble getting it read in time. Hope life is treating you well Morphy and you have a fantastic week.

>59 sibylline: Hello Lucy, thank you for stopping by my thread I always love new visitors. I was happy to help with the move all of the people there are so nice and kind.

Good to hear everything got moved back and hope all is back to normal today.

Hope you had a nice relaxing weekend

Glad to hear the office is back to normal and you had a relaxing weekend!

Very glad to see the office is back to normal. I hope you can get The Thief read in time for your book club.

Just stopping by to say hello, Rae. Glad you got through moving the office back.

This is a time of year when I as a non-American ponder over what I am thankful for.

I am thankful for this group and its ability to keep me sane during topsy-turvy times.

I am thankful that you are part of this group.

I am thankful for this opportunity to say thank you.
