There will not be one unhappy item in this entire list. NOT ONE. You will not bring me down, 2026!

Bonus puzzle photo: When I put puzzles away, I separate the edge pieces. Do you do that?

2) San photos - There is a lot of construction happening in my town. They're putting in fiber optic cables or something. That means there's a lot of digging and marking of where underground lines and pipes are located on the ground. Meanwhile, I keep spotting spray paint that reads SAN and immediately think of San. You're welcome for this little peek into my daily walks.
3) Book event - On Tuesday, I met with Sarah and her friend Shannon to go to an author Q&A with Caro Claire Burke, the author of Yesteryear. Then we went out to eat tacos! I didn't get home until ten, which is insane for a school night! It was so much fun.
4) Snail mail - I have been so remiss in thanking everyone for sending me snail mail! Postcards! Little notes of encouragement! I really appreciate it. And look what Tobia sent me! These little purple bracelets make me so happy. I wear them every single day.
5) Mystery book reveal - Dulcie sent me an email with the reveal of the mystery book from the giveaway I did a few weeks ago!
I've never even heard of that book!

Anyone read Kitty Karr? Do you like jigsaw puzzles? What do you consider "late" on a worknight?
Happy long weekend to my American friends. Happy regular weekend to my international peeps!
What a fun week you had, filled with so many blog friends! Wow! I do love jigsaw puzzles but I don't put them away like that - everything just goes in the box. Part of the fun is finding the edge pieces in my humble opinion!
ReplyDelete10:00 might as well be 2 am as far as I'm concerned! That's super late!
I don't do puzzles at home but if I came to visit you, I would happily do a puzzle on your dining room table!
ReplyDeleteYes, I would consider 10 pm late to be out on a weeknight. I'm rarely asleep by 10, but I like to be in bed reading by then. But I would make an exception for a fun event, of course.
Happy long weekend! I work tomorrow and Monday (hurumph) but at least I won't have to cook- I'll get my husband to make dinner since he'll be off.
Sue has started doing jigsaws. There is not much room at the table for two of and she mostly does them while I am doing things up here in the den.
ReplyDeleteNot one Hannah/Zelda pic? NOT ONE? How can this be a happy post? Then again, you had a lovely blog friend week, seeing Birchie, Anne, AND Sarah! Amazing. Like Jenny, I don’t do puzzles at home, and would happily do them at your house. Would I sort the edges when putting it away? I think that tracks with my anal personality, but also I like looking for them, so maybe not. Hmmm.
ReplyDelete10pm is definitely late on a school night. I tend to go to bed at around 9, and read for as long as I can manage before dropping off (sometimes only 15 minutes…)
I forgot to say, I love the pretty bracelet Tobia sent you!
DeleteYay for Anne and Birchie! How cool are those "San"-in-the-wild pictures?! I am not one to go out on work nights, so anything after 8pm feels wrong to me. There are exceptions to this, but they are so rare, haha! PS: that purple bracelet is beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteI have a love/obsession relationship with puzzles. I start them, usually in the winter, thinking they will soothe my nervous system, which they probably do, but I also stay up until four a.m. being unable to tear myself away. I haven't done one since Christmas when Angus brought the one for us to do together. Doing a puzzle with friends on a rainy afternoon sounds blissful.
ReplyDeleteSeparating the edge pieces seems like cheating to me. However, I am the first one to become impatient and swear I'm never doing another puzzle again and that I hate them. (It's all a lie. I just set out a new one on the dining room table to start when we get home from the lake.)
ReplyDeleteIf I stay up past 9:30 I feel like a wild thing. I swear I actually hear my bed calling to me starting at about 9. Look at you, Party Girl!
How nice that you had a blogger hang! I'm sure you all solved the world's problems as you puzzled. I'm assuming there were snacks. Did you bake?
Have a great long weekend but don't stay up too late! ;-)
I am so jealous you live so close to so many bloggers.
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of someone separating out the edge pieces. It's kinda genius. That said, I'm not really a big puzzle fan. I get too impatient. But the idea of doing it with blog friends sounds delightful.
If this wasn’t a delightful, cool bloggers happy post, then I don’t know what is… I am so thrilled (and a bit jealous) that you live so close to so many cool bloggers that you can just meet up randomly. And that doggie puzzle was just PERFECT for you, Birchie and Anne to do together.
ReplyDeleteI am honored I was also mentioned because you see my name spray-painted on the sidewalks… now I am just curious: what does it mean???
I love puzzles by the way, but I have like three sitting in my closet that I haven’t started yet.
