RF: Pin it, Pirates, Nook Covers.

• Round three of Pin It and Do it starts next week! Sign up here. I skipped the last round, but am in this time.
• This was a short week as the Pirate's school had two days off for teacher inservice and conferences. As expected, he's great academically but doesn't always listen so well.
• I have not been to workout since Monday and it is really starting to bother me. I never thought I'd be a person who needed the gym, but turns out I kind of am. Unfortunately, it will mean the 5th day in a row that the kids go to the Play Place and they are a little burnt out on it. It will be a bit of a struggle to get them moving and I'm not sure I'm up for it. I did check out a video from the library, but I'd have to clean the living room first.
• I'm starting to ramp up production for the Etsy shop for Christmas. The first thing I'm doing is e-book reader sleeves, so if you have a Nook or a Kindle and need a cover or know someone who needs one, please take a look. I'm also playing around with some hexie ideas (big surprise.)
• I haven't been thrifting in weeks. I'm going through withdrawal.

What I Read This Week:

• Reading was unusually light this week, I'm not sure why.
• I started Matchedby Ally Condie for BlogHer Book Club.
• I'm STILL working on The Sleeping Night by Barbara Samuel. I got all into it and last night when I was away from home I took the Nook to read it and... dead battery. Grr.
• Triangle: The Fire That Changed America by David von Drehle. In hindsight, it seems logical that it would be all about labor unions, but I thought it'd be more about the actual working conditions. It's very slow going for me, but I am motivated to read it. I'm only 45 or so pages in, I'm reading at bedtime and it's not riveting, yet, anyway.
• Gone Girl: A Novel by Gillian Flynn. I'm listening to this on audio and (as Trish points out) have barely started.
