November Books

My November reads....

A Witch's Guide to Life: It's got a little bit of everything in it. It's a good reference guide. Between Earth and Sky: I just started reading this last night. I only read the intro, but it was so good.

Animal Liberation: I heard good things about this book on my Vegan Live Journal forum, and thought I would read it.

John Lennon: Ummm...no more info needed on this one. The title says it all.

War of the Twins: My Dragonlance read for the next couple of weeks.

Borders run and the Beatles

Jess and I did a Borders run today, so I could use my 40% off CD's coupon. We ended up getting my mom a couple things too, telling her how lucky we were to be working with her at the office. I mean, where I else could you work that would even let you do a Borders run?

I ended up with some extras, other than CD's. I got John Hellboy 2, which was on sale as well. We searched for a book that Jeanne recommended called Between Earth and Sky. I say search, because we actually sat on the floor at one point because we couldn't find the thing, yet it said 'likely in store'. I did not want to give up on the search, because, well, I wanted the darn book. After going through the same books over and over (unfortunetly, sometimes the books get out of order at Borders because people decide they don't want them and just stick them anywhere), I finally spotted it tucked away between two biggie books.

They have so many cute holiday books for kids, and cards and just all kinds of holiday fun, so we browsed a bit. We then went by the games and found no Beatles Monopoly game. I have been eyeing it for some time, and new I should have gotten it when I had the chance. But, as fate would have it, it wasn't meant to be (remember I just watched Serendiptiy, so this week I will notice a lot of fate stuff, and since watching Love Actually, I will actually probably overuse the word actually). We head up to the check out, and what do you know, fate does tempt me, there, right at the front is.....one Beatles Monopoly game. Uh, SAWEET! So, Jess and I have a Monopoly game to play this Wknd. She doesn't know anything about the Beatles, except that Paul is my favorite, but hey, Monopoly has now become a Beatles lesson. Oh, I did end up getting the CD 'And Winter Came..' by Enya.

Feeling Better

I'm feeling so much better today. Actually, yesterday I felt pretty good too. I tried all my cold cures I mentioned in my previous post, and I think it really helped a lot. I also watched Love Actually, (I now have a revisted crush on Hugh Grant), The Holiday and two of the Lord of the Rings movies.....I think that was very helpful too....hee, hee.
Yep, that's how I got better!

So yesterday, John and I went to Jessica and Nicks house for a yummy brunch. Oh man, just thinking of those fried tatos makes me want some more. When we got home, I did laundry, picked up a few things, did grocery shopping (along with everyone else, there were a lot of people out yesterday), and gamed a bit. Today I'm watching the full of energy Babe. She has already wiped out the living room (think of the Godzilla vs. Tokyo reference several posts ago), and shared my breakfast with me. Mondays are usually the dreaded day, but I love spending my day with the Babe, it's the best!

Sicky

Well, I caught the cold that everyone else has been so nicely giving away this week. I'm a horrible sick person, really, ask anyone around me. I called Jess this afternoon just to give her a heads up that I was dying! I didn't sleep very well at all last night, tossed and turned until 5 this morning, then I discovered it was easier to sleep on my back. I don't sleep well when I have a cold, because I sleep on my tummy and breathe through my nose, so my body, well, my brain I suppose, goes nuts when I don't sleep how I usually do. I did manage to get a few hours of restful sleep. I woke up, did the blowing and feeling sorry for myself routine, then cuddled on the couch with a blanket and watched Serendipity. I had to come into work this afternoon, but since it's only half day, I hope it goes by quickly, so I can curl back up on the couch and watch Love Actually. I read garlic is a great immune supporter, so I'm going to have some veggie broth with garlic for dinner, and continue drinking my Yogi 'Cold Season' tea, my Echinacea Plus tea, steaming and using the neti pot. Hopefully I can boost my system for a speedier recovery....fingers are crossed!

Election Day

Well, today is Election Day, and it's just NUTS outside! I'm glad I mailed my ballot in last week, so I don't have to deal with it much, but it's still crazy out there! Jess and I went on lunch to drop off her ballot, but they moved the drive up drop downtown. We had to hunt for parking to go inside, but I'm so glad that she voted!!

Another Baby Monday

Wow, where did this Wknd go? It seems like I just answered the door to tricker treaters. We had a lot of kids this year, more so I think than any other year. So, today I am watching the cute Babe. She has a runny nose, but it isn't getting her down. Nope! Only been here for oh about a half hour, and her energy level is up there pretty high. Oh, the things I could do with that energy! So today, we will hopefully go for a walk, if the rain lets up, playtime, readtime, and some Will and Grace watching time (that's my break time...hee, hee). Well, I'm off to catch that cute baby......more like she will catch me!
