Yep, it really is me again!!

Before I say anything else, HUGE thanks to Carolyn Jewel who showed REMARKABLE patience in getting me back on Blogger as it has been so long, I forgot all passwords.

I am here in Atlanta at #RWA13 and having a wonderful time so far.  Wendy, Superlibrarian, my roomie once again is wanting me to get back to blogging again.  And I agree with her.  I've missed everyone so much. Work, while I'm loving it, is leaving me mentally exhausted every night so my return posts will probably be much shorter.

I'm doing very well for all those wondering 'what the hell ever happened to KristieJ?'.   I got a brand new car a onth ago, a Chevy Cruise that I have named Matilda.  I drove her down to Atlanta, a two day trip.  I love hiway driving and with Serious XFM, or whatever it's called being a feature, I just bopped to the tunes all the way down.  I stopped overnight in Lexington Kentucky and if one could hug a state, I would hug Kentucky.

I'm currently reading Along Came Trouble by Ruthie Knox which is rather serendipitous as it looks like I had just read another book of hers when last we met.


I just finished a Karina Bliss read-a-thon and loved them all.

I'm posting this from my iPad so unfortunately I don't know how to add pics so it's all just text *heavy sigh*. I NEED to add pics.  I even got in trouble at work for adding pics to emails I am THAT much of a visualist.  (stay there word!!  I know I made it up, but it works)

Well that's it for the moment.  Stay tuned for continuing stories of KristieJ at RWA.  My son hates it when I refer to myself in the third person so of course I do it often.

'til later

Welcome back and have fun at RWA!

Phyl & alys: Thanks!! I'll be honest, another reason I took such a long hiatus is guilt. The longer I was away, the guiltier i felt. And with work kicking my behind, well it became a storm of non-blogging. But I shall do my best to not be gone so long again.

Hooray! You're back! Hope you have a great time in Atlanta.

Not having the best time at work either, TBH, but sometimes working at a great blog post is a great way to unwind and focus on something positive!

Hilcia said...

Have fun at RWA, Kristie. Welcome back. You know we've missed you!

Kristie (J) said...

Anime June: alas, I wish I had time to do even a tiny bit at work, but way too much work and not enough hours. I used to be able to do some but in this new department, don't have even a minute to spare.

Hilcia, I am having fun, but at moments I'm sure feeling my age! And it's good to be back. Like I said, my posts will likely be shorter, but fingers crossed a lot more frequent.

Roario, my absence was much longer and very much unplanned but I never forgot you all.

Nath: I loved the drive so it was quite enjoyable.

Marianne: waving back from my current temporary location in the Mariott Marquis in Atlanta GA. I'm SO glad to be back, hopefully I won't be gone nearly this long again. Over 6 months was much to long.

Leslie said...

Missed you a bunch! Good to have you back!

Kristie (J) said...

AL, clinging back, thank you, thank you, thank you

Leslie, and I missed being here. So many times I thought of coming back and had thought & ideas and most certainly wanted to go visiting but I was either to brain dead or no Internet connection. If one didn't get me the other one did. Still gotta get the Internet up and running at home. So much easier to blog from my desktop computer but all it's good for these days is Freecell :-(
