Hello!
It’s been two weeks since I posted – quite a few updates below!
Blog
- There’s been some awesome blog posts recently!!
- I did get myself in some very warm water (I won’t say HOT because it wasn’t that bad) with my #Booksfortrade post. Whoops! >.<
- Operation transition from a book blog has a new development. You’ll see more product reviews, starting with THIRDLOVE) and LIFE (lifestyle) posts coming in.
Life
- I was alone ALL THIS WEEK! The boys were at their dad’s, and Bear (I wonder if I should call him something else, because I didn’t know what the term BEAR was referred to? 🤔) was out of town in El Paso. It was.. lonely? But I kept myself very busy!
- Still haven’t heard about the promotion. It’s ANNOYING.
- I have an update on my divorce, finally. We have a tentative court date, but hopefully things get turned in a resolved and we don’t have to go to court. This has a been a PROCESS.
Fitness
- I have hit to the gym three times this week! (including Saturday!) Not a whole lot of changes or progress to report on. However…
- I am working on balance. I want to do pistol squats, and it’s a lot harder than it looks. I mean, A LOT.
Share with me:
- How was your week?
- What’s the weather like in your area??

Good luck with bringing in the non-book related posts! It’s nice to stretch the writing wings. 🙂
Nicci @ Sunny Buzzy Books recently posted…Weekly Update #49
Agreed! Thanks 🙂 Have a great week.
I’m excited to see the evolution of your blog. Will you be changing the name and everything? Will you still do book related posts? I can’t wait to see your post on Third Love, I’ve been curious about them!
Congrats (?) on the divorce. That is such a stressful time.
Pistol squats are killer. Good luck with those!
No, the name will stay the same. Whether my blog is all books or something else, I’m still a Vivacious Bibliophile! HA. I will be doing book posts still; for sure TTT and book reviews, and some discussions. But it wont be ALL books, all the time. I haven’t narrowed down my niche past books fitness and life. Just reviews, motivation stuff, meal planning, etc.
Yes, congrats on the Divorce LOL I know people don’t know what to say. SORRY? CONGRATS? It is stressful, but we’ve been separated for over 2 years. It’s just time it’s final, ya know? We’ve both moved on (although we were together for a LONG TIME) and we’re both really happy.
Hopefully your divorce resolves quickly and without much fuss. Those are always so difficult. But, glad it sounds like you are in a good place with your life!
Its been raining here forever. I’m over it. Everything is flooded. Such a bummer!
Samantha recently posted…#SundayPost: Adulting is a scam
So far, it’s been okay! just time consuming. And yes, I’m in a great place!
the rivers are flooding here, too. But I haven’t seen too much on roads, which is nice.
Hope the rest of the divorce process goes smoothly so that you can have the stress of it behind you. And I’ve got my fingers crossed for you on that promotion! Sorry you had some backlash on your Books for Trade post–you knew it was going to be an unpopular opinion. LOL!
Oh, the stress just increased with some more drama. I just wish I was able to wash my hands of him and whole situation. Sadly, I can’t because of the boys.
I did, yeah! LOL Still, some of my other posts and tweets didn’t get me into hot water so I was hopeful.
Divorce can be tough and I hope you goes smoothly for you. Mine was so fast and we actually speak to each other now. Laura Bickle is one of my favorite authors and I love her Alchemy series. Just finished her newest, Phoenix Rising. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.
Laura Thomas recently posted…What’s New On My Bookshelf #301 and The Sunday Post
We were pretty amicable for awhile there. But, new drama came about and we’re back to avoiding each other.
Oh that’s good to hear! I’m excited to start that audio soon!
I hope things go well with the divorce – mine dragged on forever because he didn’t want it. Good luck!
The weather here is FINALLY sunny today which is giving me an energy boost. It has been about 40 and raining for 7 or 8 days and I’m done with it. Have a lovely week and happy reading.

Oh really? I think I’m “lucky” in the non contested side of things. But it’s been a long time. We’ve been separated for just over 3 years now.
It’s been sunny here too over the past few days! Thank goodness.
You’re doing better than me with gym visits lol. My motivation has been zip lately. Oh well… it’s winter. That’s my excuse haha.
Dark Alchemy looks fun. Cool cover.
Have a good week!

No Excuses Greg!! get it together! haha jk it IS hard when the weather sucks. Have a great week!
Hi, I found you through the Sunday Post meme! I like that you’re going to start adding lifestyle and product review posts. I would be SO PRODUCTIVE if I was alone all week! Hahahaha… then again, maybe not. Maybe I’d just sit on the couch all day binge watching shows on Netflix. Also, best of luck on your fitness journey! I’m one foot in the door on that journey as well, but it’s a delicate thing… between being a mom to an infant, and trying to make sure I get enough sleep because I work with infants as well, I try to find time to work out, but it’s haaaard!
Have a great week! 🙂

Hi!! Nice to ‘meet’ you!
Thanks, I’m excited for the new direction of the blog! I was kind of productive. I had a lot of appts and errands to do, plus the gym keeps me busy! Multitasking working out, life, being a mom, working, is really hard. I heard this quote about pick two (or maybe three). So pick you, being a mom, and the gym. Those are the things that you will get done that day. it can change from day to day. That way, you aren’t overwhelmed with ALL THE THINGS and feel good about getting stuff done!
