I haven't completely wrapped my head around 40. It's not the number. Having a preteen makes me feel old, but 40 doesn't. It's just making me more self-aware of what I want out of life. Good thing I know writing is one of things!
So now...

Writing: I wrote a rough chapter with all intentions of coming back to it. It was a word dump, but sometimes those are necessary. Tomorrow, I will read it with one eye closed. Better words that can be fixed than no words at all, right?
Blogging: Settling into my new schedule. Definitely sticking with it through August. No post-a-day challenges for me anytime soon. (Please remind me I said that if I dare speak of one.)
Reading: During my 40th getaway, hubby and I walked around Barnes & Noble for an hour. Blissful. I bought a Maeve Binchy novel (okay, three). I was saddened by her passing, especially since people had been recommending her books to me for years. I'm continuing to post reviews at Mom in Love with Fiction.
Social Media: Still catching up on #IWSG and ROW80 blogs, as well as other favorites. Need to be better about Twitter and at least try to learn Triberr.
Editing: Just added two new clients. So excited to start when the girls go back to school. Until then, I have an old favorite waiting for me. I can't wait to see how it turns out. I mean, I look forward to editing the end.
Hope everyone had a great writing/reading week.

Congratulations on your birthday and on still managing to get some work done on your goals. I've been a part of Triberr for a while now, and it took me some time before I found a tribe that I really clicked with. I've been really pleased with it ever since.
Have a great week!
So glad you got away for the weekend. Sounds like you had a wonderful birthday and love the shoes! The last time I visited Baltimore I was with friends and we spent the day at the aquarium. (=
I love B&N. The smell, the whispers of the books, and the infinite knowledge on the shelves makes me smile :) Glad to see you getting your writing going with rhythm. WRITE ON!
It was a lovely birthday, Elise. Thanks again for being part of what made it special!
Jo, It was such a treat. We don't have a nice bookstore near our home since Borders closed. I could have spent all day in there, but hubby was starting to gloss over.
What a nice week for you! Congrats on 40. I'm enjoying my 40s; I'm more comfortable with myself at this age than I was when younger. Enjoy the Binchy books. I know that Minnie Driver was in a movie from one of her books too that I loved (can't think of the name of it!). Have a great week, Tia!
Happy belated birthday, Tia! Glad you got out of town and had a good time! So true about the best shoes :D
Good progress this week - keep it up!!
Happy birthday! Your weekend away sounds lovely. And yes. Definitely better to have words to fix than no words at all. Hurray for words!
Thanks, Julie. I'm 2 weeks into 40. So far, so good. ;-)
Lauren, Thanks!
Kim, Thanks. I agree. Now I need to start accumulating more words. The girls go back to school 8/27, so I have high hopes for September.
