Day 4 - Holiday Songs with Book Recs! ~ 25 Days of Christmas from @fromjesstoyouVA | #Bloggerstribe #Blogmas #BookBlogger

Welcome to Jess' 25 Days of Christmas ~ Day 4
I over worked myself on Dec 4th (yesterday) as with how I wanted to put together this post and it being my weekly When & Where am I Wednesday on top of everything else I planned for today .... I over did it and in turn this post is a little late. Sorry! But I hope you'll enjoy all the parts I included in it!

I personally love listening to holiday music. My kids have asked occasionally throughout the year to listen to their Christmas Music cds before bed. But for the most part we start listening to Christmas music mostly starting around my birthday on November 10th. Typically I enjoy listening to my music on random "shuffle mode" like when I had a 5 disc cd player ... and that still happens now that I constantly use Pandora and its shuffle mode. So here are all the "radio stations" on Pandora that I "shuffle" through: Christmas Radio Country Christmas Radio Family Christmas Radio Holiday Music (Holiday) Radio Pop Goes Christmas (Holiday) Radio

4 The three weeks till Christmas won't seem very long if you make time each day for a holiday song.

Day 3 - Christmas Room Decoration ~ 25 Days of Christmas from @fromjesstoyouVA | #Bloggerstribe #Blogmas #BookBlogger

Welcome to Jess' 25 Days of Christmas ~ Day 3
Today's Santa Countdown quote is much like yesterday's ... basically dealing with our Christmas tree which, as I stated yesterday, our Christmas tree that we have had up since November 12th-ish and decorated since November 30th. So below is today's quote and what I had shared yesterday of my Christmas tree ... BUT be sure to check out AFTER that info for the video I created to go along with it all as I found "another way" to decorate too!!

Well I had soo many plans today ... but it is/was Cyber Monday so I did last minute online shopping, then I found out that an Christmas present order that had arrived was wrong so I had to fix it (it took them 2 hours), then I dealt with my kids and stuff for my clients that I do VA work for .... but what really through me off was finding out early this morning that my head cold has gotten worse. 😷 I'm coughing up "crud" and will definitely be going to see my doctor tomorrow since the sudafed I've been taking hasn't been working. 😝 Thankfully I don't have a fever. YAY! 👏

Anywho ... one major event was that ...

Day 1 - I finished a novel! ~ 25 Days of Christmas from @fromjesstoyouVA | #Bloggerstribe #Blogmas #BookBlogger

This year I am doing my own version of 25 Days of Christmas and we will be following my Santa and penguin countdown ornament calendar that I've had since 2007. I've always found this countdown adorable ... so I'm going to try my best at daily blog posts. 🤞 Hopefully I'll be on top of it for you. 😊 😉

Cyber Stalking -- Romantic Gesture or Scary Predator?

"Cyber Cinderella" by Christina Hopkinson, was a HUGE disappointment!!! I could only make it through the first 20 pages or so before I got bored and had to force myself to finish ..... and THEN it turned out to be a crappy ending! WOW! I mean the title just didn't work out for me since when you think "Cinderella" you think the one who's behind it will be the "prince" but ...... *shakes head* 1 out of 5 stars!

All I know was that I didn't like it ... which is upsetting. =0( If you read it I hope you like it better.

And if you've read it before ... what did you think of it???

They say that things just cannot grow beneath the winter snow

"Snowbound" by Janice Kay Johnson was such a disappointment. I picked it up from Amazon.com since they had it free if you had an iPod or a Kindle and it was on the top of the list for supposedly being so good. But ehhh. =0P

It's about a teacher who is driving back (in a snowstorm) from an out-of-town event with a group of her students (8 teens). They decided to take the quickest route back ... not knowing that that highway closes in the winter. Thankfully the route they took has a lodge on it. The owner of this lodge is a gentleman who just got discharged from the military, and is dealing with his own set of problems. During the teacher (and her group's) 3 night stay at the lodge waiting for the storm to let-up, the teacher and the owner build a connection ..... and they see if they can make it work afterwords.

I mean the setting was good and so was the plot/point of the story. But if I wanted to read about war scenes then I would have picked up a nonfiction or history type of book, not a romance. And even though the story was a short one, for how she dragged it out making so everyone was so indecisive .... I was just happy to see it end.

2 out of 5 stars.

IT'S SNOWING!!!!

I don't know about you .... but I am soo excited because it's snowing outside right now! As I may have mentioned before .. for the past 3 1/2 years I have lived in Elizabeth City it has never snowed in November! We usually only get one snow fall a year and that is in January ... during the middle of the night .. when no one gets to see it. But this morning my husband left early for work .. then came back in to wake me up because of the snow. I'm soo happy!! As it definitely makes me feel the holiday spirit in the air!!!! =0)

Here are some pictures from this morning of my dogs (Paige & Surka) and me ....






Have a great day!! I'm gonna go back to playing in the snow!! =0)

Take care, Jess

My photography has been featured!

Well even if it's a small part, last week my photography (actually the photo to the right) was featured in the Elizabeth City Chamber of Commerce's October Newsletter. And a photo or two, from the same Rose Buddies dedication ceremony event, that I took we're in the Daily Advance's Downtowner on October 12th!!

Just some small stepping stones but I'm proud about them! =0)

Have a great weekend everyone!

Take care, Jess

Busy as a Beaver

Hello everyone,

I know I should have at least 3 new videos up by now but I have gotten busy again.

The Advertising/Marketing Co-Op Campaign that the Elizabeth City Area Convention & Visitors Bureau (at my other job) has started up the beginning of this month. So, I have been busy trying to get things in order for the almost 30 videos I'll be creating for that. I have currently been working on the video for that office as the "Elizabeth City" video ... and after a few more changes you should be able to see what it looks like.

Also, I got my first job recently!! I'm going to be taking photography for a wedding happening on August 8, 2008. And the bride is being very sweet in allowing me to use the photography taking and making a video out of it. So, in about another month or so you'll be able to see that.

More things to come soon!!

Take care, Jess
