What HAVE I been doing this month, besides working on Ghost Story?  I've had dryer issues; homework issues; teacher meetings; football meetings, and granddaughter issues.  I've also binge-watched Brain Dead, the Olympics, and as of this past weekend, Season #5 of Once Upon A Time.  I'm also keeping up with Big Brother 18 and Deadliest Catch.

Despite all this, I have managed to read 9 books, 7 print and 2 e-books, and added 19 songs to the Karaoke 'Good' list:)  I've also managed to lose 2 pounds, despite going on a blackberry cobbler craze and eating 3 of them in 2 weeks.  With help, not just all by myself!

Walking on Sunshine-Katrina and the Waves Nailed it:)
Wannabe-Spice girls  Was told it was good:)
I was hit with laryngitis on the 18th and while the voice did eventually return, I cannot sing above high 'C'.  Then complications with the karaoke computer on the 29th meant I could only sing one song.  :(
