Saving my Sanity ...: June 2011
http://rocalisa.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 29, 2011. These are so cute. Wooden animal track sandals for kids. Links to this post. Tuesday, June 28, 2011. Did I really do that? Yes, I did. I started a new blog over at WordPress. I had a few reasons and the easy way to explain them is to copy here the first post from over there. It’s called Too Many Books. Please do come over if it sounds interesting. GOOD GRIEF, ANOTHER BLOG. From Too Many Books. Why do I do this to myself? Here I am, starting another blog…. The key phrase above is...

Saving my Sanity ...: April 2011
http://rocalisa.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 19, 2011. And no, I’m not talking about. A Game of Thrones. I may be the only person on the internet to use that title and not be talking about George R. R. Martin and HBO. Winter really is coming here. We’ve hit the middle of autumn and the temperature seriously dropped yesterday. Enough that we pulled out all the heaters and searched for our slippers. Heater cat = winter on the way. I don’t think she’s really sticking her tongue out at me, but it sure does look that way. Pam got in quick...

Saving my Sanity ...: March 2011
http://rocalisa.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 16, 2011. Family Photos – Week Five = Rest and Relaxation. Sorry this is so late. It took everyone, including me, a while to get our photos taken and then I got a head cold when I was just getting organised to put up the post. Given the fact we all have busy lives, we’ve decided to make this a fortnightly challenge rather than a weekly one. That gives everyone a bit more time to find a good photo. The theme for Week 4 was REST AND RELAXATION. Sally chose the next theme and it is WARMTH.

Saving my Sanity ...: Twilight’s Dawn by Anne Bishop
http://rocalisa.blogspot.com/2011/04/twilights-dawn-by-anne-bishop.html
Saturday, April 16, 2011. Twilight’s Dawn by Anne Bishop. My rating: 5 of 5 stars. Read 13-4-11 to 16-4-11. Just so you know, there are no spoilers here - although that does make this a post about feelings rather that details. I figured vagueness was better than spoilers. This was wonderful. All of it, including the last story. In fact, especially the last story, which I thought was perfect. View all my reviews. SLIGHT SPOILERS TO FOLLOW. Ive got to read this book!

Saving my Sanity ...: Where to find me
http://rocalisa.blogspot.com/2013/03/where-to-find-me.html
Wednesday, March 06, 2013. Where to find me. I decided to go for split reading and stitching blogs and set them up on Wordpress. I post at both sporadically, but keep up as best I can. Please come over for a look. Books: Too Many Books, Too Hard to Choose. This comment has been removed by the author. Havent heard from you in a long time. I sadly admit to not having done any stitching on Earth and Moon in months. Lots of time stitching other pieces. Are you on Facebook? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Saving my Sanity ...: February 2011
http://rocalisa.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 28, 2011. Family Photos – Week 4=Signs. Firstly, please welcome my sister, Sally, who is joining the fun. Thanks for playing, Sally. The theme for Week 4 was SIGNS. Marcus has his own special hideaway in the storage space under the house, which was made to be his “office” because Daddy had an office and he wanted one too. This space now has a sign on the door. Not only did Marcus photograph a sign, he made it first too. Sally has been kayaking in Abel Tasman National Park. As for me, I&#...

Saving my Sanity ...: Did I really do that?
http://rocalisa.blogspot.com/2011/06/did-i-really-do-that.html
Tuesday, June 28, 2011. Did I really do that? Yes, I did. I started a new blog over at WordPress. I had a few reasons and the easy way to explain them is to copy here the first post from over there. It’s called Too Many Books. And I hope to do better at keeping it up than I’m doing over here, mostly because I’m not planning to try to do complicated things like reviews, but simply to post the odd book thing (including pictures of Marcus I admit) when I think of it. GOOD GRIEF, ANOTHER BLOG. The key phrase...

Saving my Sanity ...: January 2011
http://rocalisa.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 18, 2011. First, some background. With it being summer and holidays here, before Christmas Dave bought a little pup tent for Marcus. It's too small for Dave, and almost too small for me, but Marcus loves it. However, we don't really have any flat ground in our backyard (and I'm not having Marcus sleeping in a tent pitched on the fence-less front yard). So we found a compromise. One cup of milk for drinking. One cup of milk for dunking gingernuts. Links to this post. Dust by Elizabeth Bear.

Saving my Sanity ...: Just for fun
http://rocalisa.blogspot.com/2011/06/just-for-fun.html
Tuesday, June 28, 2011. I saw this over on Geek Art Gallery. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I'm a wife, a mother to a twelve year old, and I have ME/CFS. I would like to be a busy and obsessed reader and cross stitcher, but my health gets in the way, so I try to do a little bit of each when I can and not get too frustrated.

Saving my Sanity ...: May 2011
http://rocalisa.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 12, 2011. World War Z by Max Brooks. World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War. My rating: 4 of 5 stars. I can't believe I'm reading a zombie book. It's all Calico Reaction's fault. Wow, I really don't know what to say about this book. It's a good book, but it's so different from what I usually read that I feel like I don't have any context for commenting on it. The two I have tried (and liked) were this one and Mira Grant's Feed. I really enjoy the scientific puzzle of apocalyptic and...
