My Daybook

For today, Monday, February 8, 2010 (James Dean's birthday)

On My Mind...thinking of joining Weight Watchers on-line. Need to seriously do something and I'm thinking/hoping that that could be the motivation I need!

Outside My Window...the sun is shining but it is cold out there! We're expecting snow on Wednesday.

What We're Reading...finished Emily Climbs this morning and will be starting Emily's Quest. With Tucker, we're reading a Magic Treehouse book : Haunted Castle on Hallow's Eve...His favorites this week were Bartleby Speaks! and Brewster the Rooster. Planning on reading books about Abe Lincoln and the Civil War this week.

What We're Listening to...almost done with Son of A Witch.

What We're Watching...the usual iCarly, Dirty Jobs and Mythbusters. Forgot Biggest Loser last week but did watch American Idol. Still watching Extreme Makeover Home Edition. Michael and I are also liking Shark Tank and Fringe. Looking forward to Survivor and Amazing Race starting this week.

I am Hoping...my ENT appt goes well this morning and I don't need surgery to remove the stone.

Quotable Quote...Most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be. ~ Abraham Lincoln (in honor of his birthday Friday)

In the Kitchen...chicken brushetta, a new chicken recipe, chicken in the crockpot. (apparently chicken was on sale this week-LOL!)

Around the House...laundry to be folded (as usual)...dishwasher's running...not awful but not great, either.

Coming Up This week...new soccer session starting, not sure when practice/game is...Cub Scout Pack meeting Thurs night...Tucker and I are going to a UConn Women's game Sat night with my mom and then staying over.

A Picture Thought...Haven't been taking a lot of pictures; need to get back into taking pictures---I miss it!
