Crazy Storm

I have been cooped up in the house for days. I feel like I'm going stir crazy. We had no internet or cable for days, I felt despondent. It's crazy how addicted I feel and how I feel hopeless without the internet. I had no way of knowing if I had to go to work or if we had the day off school. People's phones were no longer working so we couldn't get a hold of anyone. Trees kept falling everywhere. It was really pretty though. Here are some photos I took.

Eclipse

The third book has now been read. One more to go. I can't wait to get my hands on it. These are SO good. I love them!!!!

New Moon

I'm such an addict. I'm so bad. Last night when Billy and I were going to bed I did it again... I got out my new book, that I hadn't even started to read, and opened it. The next thing I know the alarm is going off and Billy is getting out of bed. It was morning. I had stayed up all night, like a book junkie flipping through the pages without a concern for the time. I just need the fix of the next page. I later slightly regretted it, the book was so good a true page turner for me. I really enjoyed it and would suggest the Twilight Series to anyone.

IPOD Touch

I am addicted to Paige's IPOD Touch. The way you can play on the internet. The games that can be downloaded. I just played Pac Man and now we are playing Checkers. There is also a really cool way to look at what you are eating every day. You can download free episodes of various shows. Download book and audio books. Listen to online music, public radio from so many places, and seemingly so much more... So cool.

Big Read

This is the week of free things!!!!!! One of my favorite things in fact. The Big Read is going on right now and we went to get our copy of the current book- To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee. You can find more on The Big Read here. I haven't started it yet because I'm still reading The Golden Compass; but I'm pretty excited. I'm going to join a local discussion and possibly one online. Happy Reading!!!!

Free Makeup!!!

So exciting!!!!!!!!!! I love free stuff. So, today, I went to Macy's and got some free product. There was a law suit and as a settlement they are giving products away. I got moisturizer and night repair stuff. Free product, simple, but makes my day a little brighter!

Hang Drum

In an attempt to fill my life with entertainment since the void the of lack of grad school has created; Paige and I have considered joining a local Drum Circle. "Do you drum?" you may be asking. Sadly, the answer is no, but we attended a show of the local circle and felt greatly inspired. So now we are on the search for a drum... which led me to the Hang drum, which I can't afford, and you can't even get unless you go to Switzerland. But still, I am in awe.. . I really like them.

The Golden Compass

I finished this book and it seem to drag on and on forever. The book has no real ending, as it continues into the next book. I am, however, not sure that I will read the next one. While the story is much better than the book, it is still sluggish and oftentimes hard to concentrate on.

Twilight

This book was such a page turner. I really couldn't put it down! I would highly recommend it!

Eldest

I just finished this book... it was good, I liked it. One more in the series to go!

Monkey Math

I finished... now he needs a name!!!!

I am almost finished with a game that I am making. I still need to compete all of the bananas and laminate the monkey, arms, and hands. I'm pretty excited and think he is pretty cute!!!!

Eco Elvis

My love of being green and Elvis combined... I love it... giggle giggle giggle.... he he he ... awww Eco Elvis.
