Looks like you did really well.
I agree with Scrap girl, it looks like you did really well.
You're way too hard on yourself. :p And whenever I see what you've been doing for homeschool, I get so jealous of Annie!! hehe
You really are too hard on yourself! That's nowhere near bad, Debi! And that Discover article sounds really interesting!
That's more than I read in most years lately! Oh, wait, it's time to go work on TLQ (the latest quilt) or TLKP (the latest knitting project) or ... I'm thinking I should give audiobooks a try someday. Happy Canada Day!
You are way, way too hard on yourself, love. You did wonderful.
And I agree with Eva. Whenever I see what you've been doing for homeschool, I get jealous of Annie. It sounds like you're doing such interesting stuff!
You are too hard on yourself! I read three books and two of them were rereads. ;_; Just compare yourself to me, you'll feel much better. ;)
Debi, that's not bad at all! Shoot, that's a really good month for me most of the time :p Love the Dad's Day card :) Hope Rich did too!
You got a lot more accomplished than I did! I squeaked by with 4 books, but one of those was started in May. Definitely going to be picking up Essential Dykes!
