Snow Day

We got about one foot of snow
on Long Island last night.

SNOW DAY!!

No school for Dylan.
No school for me!!!

My awesome husband Paul shoveled the
walkway and the driveway for us.

My plan for today.....
-sweats
-no make-up
-work on the yearbook (I'm the editor)
-read a little on my KINDLE
-watch the scariest move of all time
with my son.

(the Exorcist scares the sh*t out of me
and I can only watch it during the day because
for some reason I think the devil can't
get me when it's light out.)

I know, I know.

*A little side note: Paul went to a
school dance with Linda Blair.
It was right before she made the movie.
CREEPY!!

Slow Go

This is what I am currently reading:


I like it.
I like it a lot, but guess I don't love it because
I'm able to put it down and I've even fallen
asleep reading it.

OK, here is THE ONE NEGATIVE THING
about the Kindle....

ready.....

It doesn't let you know what page you're on.
It only lets you know how far along you are in
a book by PERCENTAGE.

I've been at 44% in this book FOREVER.

I guess it's my fault.
I have the font at size HUMONGOUS.
Dylan can read it from across the room.
So, even though I've been reading for
hours I've only plowed through 8 pages.

It's exhausting!

One Day

Read it yesterday.
When I got home from work.
While I was cooking dinner.
Stayed up until 12:15.
Had to finish it.

It's about a Harvard professor who is diagnosed
with Early Onset Alzheimer's Disease. The story
is told month by month.
Great book!

I
LOVE
MY
KINDLE.

At the rate I'm going, I figure I'll spend about
$3646.65 on books this year.

Hmmmmm.
The Kindle makes it too easy.

I better start watching TV again.

Kindle Love

I Love it.

I've read two books in one week.
The first was

I'd heard about this book, but wasn't really sure what it was about.
It was very good, I couldn't put it down, however,
it was one of the most disturbing books I've ever read.
It actually made me sick to my stomach at the end. I had
to take a break
That being said, I recommend it.
It's a good study on nature vs. nurture.

The second book I read was

LOVED
LOVED
LOVED IT!!
I could almost pick it up and read it again right now.
So good.

I don't read as much as I'd like to.
I tend to go through spurts.
I think the Kindle may help me out.
I can search for a book, request a sample,
and if I like it, buy it on-line and it's in my
hands right away.
Love it!

Christmas Loot!

I had a great Christmas.
I received EVERYTHING on my list
.....and then some!

Pasta Bowls - everyday white from Bed Bath and Beyond. They are huge and bright. Will look great with my red placemats. Love em.

A Calphalon grilling pan. I've wanted one for a long time.

An immersion blender, for soups and whatever else.

New Mac Make-up brushes!

Yummy Jo Malone Grapefruit Perfume!

Beautiful pearl earrings! (I've had my others since high school. Time for a new pair!)

A "fancy" snuggie in cranberry.
Stop laughing.

And....A KINDLE!! I had actually put it on my list but then crossed it off.
Big surprise!!!! Love it!!

Thank you Santa!

Back on Track

Ok, so it's Wednesday.
I've been sick since Saturday.
Sick like, sick-in-bed sick.
Today is the first day I feel somewhat normal
so I am going shopping
Yesterday I was able to wrap all the presents
I have and see where I have to fill in.

I have a lot of filling in to do.

Note to self:
DON'T GET SICK RIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS!

Flu

Yeah, so I got a flu shot.
DIDN'T WORK.
Shoot me.

Sick Day

Home sick today with a cold.
Hate being sick.
I've gone through an entire box of tissues.
Thank God for

Venti Mocha Frappa Fruppa

So what's crazier:
The fact that there were 9 people
on line in front of me this morning
OR
The fact that I waited?!

Thanksgiving

I originally had another entire post about Thanksgiving.
I decided to scrap it and post this instead.

This is Dylan making his famous
Whole Berry Cranberry Sauce.
It's yummy!




I don't have anything else to say except that
next year we're going away for Thanksgiving.

Big Yawn

Seriously, I can't be the ONLY person who
didn't like the movie.
Come on, step up....let's hear from you!

Yesterday

I love fall.
