Some new things right now:

1. October is a busier month than expected this year. To put it plainly, I’ve been off actually living life. Good and bad. And it feels great.
2. It’s National Chocolate Cupcake Day.
3. I heard that on the new Everyday Food show on Sirius. Ask Reesie, I only ever listen to Martha Stewart or Cosmo radio in the car, heh.
4. I wish the weather would make up it’s mind so I could break out my Honeywell HFD-010 air purifier!
5. ZB is reading Freckle Juice for homework this week! And coincidentally, I’m reading this book.
6. Girlie is better.
7. Hub is so-so.
8. I was finishing up that doll quilt…but ran out of thread…and apparently I bought it somewhere I don’t go often b/c calling/visiting three local quilt shops hasn’t enabled me to find it. (Mettler quilting cotton)
9. My monitor died and so I’m sharing one with DH for the time being, part of the reason I am not blogging much.
10. I got my anniversary gift early. Her name is Isabelle (and she needs a haircut..). Iz She’s a year old Lhasa Apso (supposedly) mix. We call her Izzie (It’s the most adorable thing to hear Bebe say “Ishie”). But she isn’t named after that one. We’ve had her two days and she’s a perfect fit for our family. Love her. She’s making me a dog person. We have a 5 y/o golden, but he and I have never been…friends, lol. He’s loving enough, a spaz, but Izzie is different. I picked her out, I am responsible for her care, etc.
11. I accomplished or will accomplish everything on my “to do” list this week including having lunch at school with both older kiddos.
12. Except laundry. That is never ending.
13. The reason I’ve been able to get so much done is b/c I cut down on two bad habits: tv and internet. Now, neither of these are really bad, but I do tend to get distracted or not sleep enough because of one or the other, so buhbye.
14. I’ve been buying up books that the school library is discarding here and there for 50 cents each. My favorites so far are first (school) edition This is London, and The Red Fairy Book. Funny, I have wanted this Fairy collection for a long time and this is the second one to fall into my lap super cheap. I’m going to a book sale Saturday, so who knows what else I might find!
15. On that note, I have thought of maybe starting a little children’s bookselling business on ebay, but I dunno.
16. There’s an antique store not far from me that is going out of business and they have a great price on the Concept 2 Model D rowing machine. Boy, oh boy the gems I have picked up. Lots of handmade, hand embroidered linens. Dresser scarf, linen napkins, yellow apron, pyrex, and glassbake to aid me in my deplasticization (real word? used correctly? who knows?!) of my kitchen!
17. I’m bored with my hair.
18. I need an external hard drive. My computer is soooo slow b/c I have about 3 years’ worth of photos on it. I know, I know. Anyway, any suggestions for an “inexpensive” one?
19. The title of this post has nothing to do with anything. It just cracks me up.
