The Sunday Salon: And Then I Got Sick

My life's observations as of late Saturday night. Enjoy!


Outside my window: Ah, another perfect day today! Perfect I say! And after a week, a full week!, of rain. Which was crazy, but welcome. I love the rain. It made me happy actually.

I am listening to: Mary Poppins.... specifically I Love to Laugh! I was shocked when my daughter said she'd never seen this movie! Poor deprived child!


I am watching: Well, I was watching another Downton Abbey episode, but it got over, so now it's Mary Poppins in the background, though I'm not really watching.

I am thinking: that it's a drag I decided to get a lovely head cold today. Here's hoping it doesn't last long. I've really too much to do this week.

I am grateful for: clothes stores that have normal prices. Sheesh I stepped in to Nordstrom's today, looked at the price tag and about died laughing. How do they get away with that? It truly blows me away!

I am reading: Just finished City of Ashes... very fun. Quite the romp! And then I started Hero of Ages by Brandon Sanderson. Also, I got Wolves, Boys and Other Things that Might Kill Me  by Kristen Chandler today, so think I'll start in on that one. I also got The Wise Man's Fear this week and am dying to jump right into that one! Ugh... when will I find time to read though?

I am photographing: Nothing this week.

I am listing: Different things for different posts for Armchair BEA! And all the things I have to do this week. I did lots of stuff today, but nothing really got marked off the list. I hate it when that happens.

I am creating: I meant to sew some more today, but I ran out of time and energy. Keeping fingers crossed for time this week.

On my iPod:  I finally got a real cd for Pet Shop Boys... it's called Pop Art and it's two cds of their hits. LOVE it! Yes, the Pet Shop Boys craze continues!

I am hoping and praying: that this cold doesn't last long. And that my son travels home safely this Friday!

Around the house: I washed half the windows.... meaning the inside... I really hope to tackle the outside soon.

From the kitchen: Oh man, do you have to ask?! I think next week I'll have something to report on this front!

One of my favorite things: Smokey Jack Paninis at Jason's Deli.

The children this week: It's the second to last week of school for one. The other one has to go into June a bit more. That's going to be a trial and a trib. We'll survive though.

Plans for the week: Trying to keep up with Armchair BEA stuff, and finish up Utah Author Month posts, and get ready for my son to come home and plan a welcome home party this next weekend! Whew. See why there's no room for being sick?!

On this date: In 2008 I reported on a author library event I went to, one of the first author things I went to which started the current craze. This event was also the one where Natasha and I realized afterwards we were both there, but didn't know each other. Then the idea of blogger get togethers was born!
