Books and TV

Today was an odd day. It is the end of November, and here in Minnesota that usually means snow. But today I woke up to thunder. It was pouring rain...with thunder and lightning! Just odd, that's all. I am ready for snow, I love snow. Bring it on!

I want to promote some good books and shows! We are huge fans of Jericho, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, Ugly Betty, Heroes, The Office, and The Girls Next Door. I also really like ER and The Class. If you aren't watching these, you should be! And, I just heard that Scrubs is starting up again! Mike also likes Top Chef alot, but we both agree that Project Runway is better! It is a toss up between Jericho and Heroes for best new show this year. I like Studio 60 because it makes you think to keep up with it, but the plotlines in the other two are better! We just DVR all these shows and then catch up with them when we can.

Right now I'm reading Hit by a Farm: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Barn. It's been pretty good so far, I'm so used to reading fiction that I'm enjoying something a little different. You can check out the website about it here.

So now that it is almost 5, I'm going to settle in on the couch with my book until Mike gets home and we eat more leftovers for dinner. Have a great day!

Cleaning...

So I'm supposed to be spending the day cleaning and baking, basically getting ready for tomorrow. I have absolutely no motivation to clean. Our house isn't bad, it really just needs to be picked up and organized. But do I want to spend a day off doing that, no of course not. So I had swim class this morning, went to Caribou (meduim soy chai), went to the recycling center to get rid of four computer monitors that were just taking up space in our garage, the met Raul and Trinity to go to the mercado to look for Christmas gifts. Now I'm home, attempting to clean, but not really doing much. I would like the house to be ready by the time Mike gets home so that we can just relax tonight and tomorrow, but I'm not sure that is going to happen!

The pumpkin pie is in the oven, but I overfilled it so I'm not sure it will turn out! The apple pie is next on my list, then I can think about trying to clean the kitchen. What else...polish the napkin rings, set the table, do the laundry, dust everywhere, pick up downstairs, try and stuff all the food on the counter into the cupboards. Oh yeah, put up Christmas lights on our deck. I already hosed off the front entry way...it gets so dirty!

Okay, gonna try and work. I'll be back later to post pictures from our fun night last night. We'll see how much I can get done!

new camera!

cutting my hair...

I cut off 12 inches of my hair to donate. I also went a little red. It was fun, I love having short hair!
