No way! Yes way! 500 posts...who would have thought? Certainly not me. Seems kind of fitting since my 4th Blogiversary was December 3rd. So much has changed in 4 years, but for the better. My reading goals, blogging, and thinking have evolved, and definitely for the better. Enough of that though. I'll reminisce when the blog hits 5 years. For now, it's woo-hoo and let's carry on!
Hopefully you are all prepared for the upcoming Christmas day extravaganza, whatever that may be. For me, it's Christmas dinner with my parents coming to my place to feast. That's it. We have been keeping it super simple the past few years. I didn't even decorate this year, because life has been so hectic. I did make Christmas cookies last weekend, but made less than usual. We don't need those evil little suckers hanging around forever. Even though they are freaking tasty!
On the reading front, I am thisclose to finishing Bleak House. It got a little slow there for a while, but I pushed through. I am also reading The Midwife's Tale by Sam Thomas and boy is it a page turner. Takes place in 1644 and I haven't read something from that time period in a long time. I am enjoying the historical setting of the story, and Lady Hodgson is a delightful character, ahead of her time for sure.
On the knitting front, still knitting away on various projects. Lately, I have been working through lunch at work, and then been too tired at night to knit, so not much progress. Close to finishing a sweater for Kona, and since the weather has turned down right frigid, baby will appreciate it.
That's about it for me. Life is speeding by, books are being read, yarn is being knitted, and blogs are getting visited, finally!
What has been going on in your neck of the woods lately? Any good books lately?
Take care and enjoy your Sunday everyone :)

Good luck. �The topic could be interesting to an HF writer...a pirate from Ancient times, male or female.
Have a wonderful Christmas Heather :)

Midwife's Tale is a murder mystery but there's quite a bit of historical information about midwives and their duties, and how this�activity�of society worked. �Quite�interesting. �I think you would like it.
Hope you also have a lovely Christmas :)

Your Christmas holiday sounds delightful. I'm still working through Christmas goodies myself. One more batch and I should be finished, but as these are the ones for Santa, I will be doing them tomorrow. My parents are in town and my brother and his family will be for Christmas Eve. The rest of the week should be stress-free and completely relaxing.
Have a great Christmas and week!

Your Christmas happenings sounds excellent. We just found out / decided that we're hosting Christmas dinner this year, which is a first for us. It won't be too big of a crowd, though, so we'll be OK.

There were several times over the past 4 years I thought about giving up, but I've met too many people that I now consider friends, so that's not happening.
Here's to many more years of blogging to the both of us :)

Hope your Christmas was merry. I'm reading The Midwife's Tale too. I just finished a contemporary romance called Fallen Too Far and it was really good.
Jennygirl73 95p · 637 weeks ago
Oh are you? �I finished Midwife and really enjoyed it. �Contemporary romance has never been kind to me, but I would like to give it another try. �Probably as part of your romance challenge! �I have plenty of books that will fit that challenge :)

Off to check out The Midwife's Tale, the book I have with that title is a different author but I love anything with a medical/midwife historical element.
I'll be keeping an eye out for the photo of Kona in her new sweater :)
Jennygirl73 95p · 636 weeks ago
I like the medical/historical angle too. amazes me the progress we have made.
I have the photos, but need to write the post. Kona sometimes whines to have her sweater on in the house!
