The Sunday Salon: May Day May Day!

You'll have to convince me it's really May.  I'm a bit freaked out by this fact.

Outside my window: It's a dark and cold Saturday night. Last night we had snow, tonight, no snow, but very cold. And here I wanted to plant tomatoes today!

I am listening to: Wait, what? Nothing? What's up with that? But Pet Shop Boys did find their way into much of my listening this week. Especially this song:



I am watching: Last night we watched The Ghosts of Girlfriends Past. It was as excepted in one regard, lots of sex talk. But surprising in another regard, which was that it had a pretty awesome message: true love is real and important! In TV land, I'm loving James on AI.



 And I'm rooting for Matt on Survivor.


 The cowboys got out on Amazing Race, so now I am teamless there. The Vampire Diaries continues to be awesome, and I've found Friday Night Lights!


I am thinking: that I actually accomplished something this Saturday! It feels quite nice!

I am grateful for: those nights when I conk out and sleep so so good! What a difference it makes in how a person feels!

I am reading: The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss and really really enjoying it!

I am photographing: Emily Wing Smith at her launch party!

I filmed the Barely Manilows singing too, but instead of uploading it here, I'll just refer you to Jenni Elyse's post instead. She does a great wrap of the whole event too. I will just say, it was fun! I need to try to make it to more of these shindigs! :)

I am listing: all the Utah authors that I want to read and promote this next month!

I am creating: Ah! We bought fabric and cut out dresses and skirts today! And I have yet to cut out a couple of little jackets for Toto too. Yes. Creating is finally happening around here!

I am hoping and praying: that we just simply survive the next month. And then the next one too!

Around the house: We scooted the bed over about five inches, and wow. It feels like we rearranged the whole room! What a differences few mere inches make! :)

From the kitchen: Tonight my husband cooked Thai food from stuff he bought at a specialty store awhile back. I thought it was great! He thought it lacked something. I think I will make him do this more often anyway.

One of my favorite things: unfortunately, I have this problem with chocolate.....

The children this week: Only four (or five?) weeks of school left. We have reports to work on, projects to film, recitals and such too. It's going to be busy I tell you.

Plans for the week: I'm going to another author event! We must see D.J. MacHale who wrote the Pendragon series that my kids love!
