It's been a whirlwind week at work, with lots of 'interesting' little challenges popping up from nowhere to deal with! We have a New Product launch in Sydney next week & I'm so far behind in my pre-reading that it's scary. So Cote Sud, Marie Claire Maison & The World of Interiors will be replaced this weekend by such august tomes as CardioVascular and Interventional Radiology, Experimental & Clinical Cardiology, International Journal of CardioVascular Interventions, Circulation, International Journal of Cardiac Imaging & my very favourite, the Journal of Molecular & Cellular Cardiology. Oh be still my beating heart (no pun intended!!). Make me envious & tell me what's on your reading list this weekend.Image: Alan Shortall
Hey there... no envy for you over this way... workwise.. testing program results and reconciling a few billion [not mine unfortunately]. AND... personal ..the dentist.. I will be reading the white ceiling of fear!! hahaha
ReplyDeleteHi Millie, sorry, can't make you envious, because unfortunately I'll be reading/editing the learning module 'Implement an Energy Management Plan' from the the Vocational Graduate Certificate in Facilities Management! Mmmm, maybe the following weekend we can both OD on home mags.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the product launch next week. I'm sure you'll wow them. Lee :)
Oh my goodness Julie & Lee - I don't feel so bad now! Hope you manage to get some good stuff in despite the intensive book work.
ReplyDeleteMillie ^_^
I'll be finishing reading a very scary book titled "What's Happening to our Girl's? Too Much, Too Soon. How our girls are overstimulated, oversold and oversexed". After that I think I'll be looking for a book called something like "How to Raise Your Children without Raising Your Blood Pressure." Good luck with your product launch Millie! Meredith xo.
ReplyDeletegosh, i guess i'm the only one reading for pleasure this weekend. trying to finish book 4 of the twilight series. got "sucked" in. swore i wouldn't read about vampires. and praying i'll be reading in temperatures below 90 degrees! happy weekend, millie.

Doesn't sound like fun, I hope it won't take you too long and you can get to do something more relaxing as well.
ReplyDeleteFascinating stuff! On my reading list this weekend is Little House in the Big Woods (to my 8 year old), a few dozen picture books to my little ones, and then Small Business Marketing for Dummies, as that is about the level of intelligence that my hormone riddled brain can manage. I will try to fit in the odd interior magazine though - I call it product research for a renovation if my hubby asks!

ReplyDeleteNot That! MB
ReplyDeleteSomething trashy Millie.....this brain needs to slow down a bit! xv
ReplyDeleteHi Millie,
ReplyDeleteWow, I am so happy I'm not you at the moment. I've had enough of reading mundane reports through the week so I intend to catch up on some inspirational blogs and a bit more of my fictional crime novel that currently lives beside my bed. I hope you get it all done and get to relax and enjoy your weekend a little.

Oh shoot that sounds deadly, certainly not that on my reading list.

ps cheers to the heart :)
My mom sent me a bunch of reading material this week. I don't know if I will get to any of my new books though since I will be hanging out with my college friends. 20 year reunion!
ReplyDeleteI'll be reading the Sydney Morning Herald in a warm, sunny corner with one of your wonderful hot chocolate recipes and then into the garden. Hope the product launch is a success! Leigh
ReplyDeleteOh Millie, my brain hurts just reading what you're going to be reading...Yikes!! I think I need a glass of wine now... yes, that's what I'm doing this weekend- drinking wine in your honor;), no reading for me!! You be sure to take wine breaks too, okay?!!
ReplyDeletejoan
p.s. thank you so much for your sweet well-wishes! Dan & I greatly appreciated it! Oh, and Dan's having a beer for MOTH!!
Dear Millie,
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming. It was really nice to hear what you think if am fit to be the Swedish farmer's wife §:-))

Hugs to you & MOTH this w/end and have a great day.

ReplyDeleteOh it sounds heavy going Millie.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with getting through it and for the new Product launch.
I am reading ~ A Vintage Affair by Isabel Wolff.
Take care and try and enjoy your weekend.
Hugs

I went into my favorite 2nd hand bookstore that always has a wonderful selection of decor books- walked out with 5 delightful books this afternoon! Because they are 2nd hand and half price, I had no self control! Good luck with your reading and I hope you get back to Cote Sud soon!
ReplyDeleteHi Millie.. Pleased to say I did NO work [yet] tomorrow is bank holiday in NSW. Love your comment over my way. Still crying laughing over here. It would certainly be a 'white wedding' :))) Ciao Julie
