Right Now

favorite t.v. shows: Sports Center, Property Brothers & their new one, Amazing Race (DVR), Food Nanny (DVR), the Weather Channel. (I am really not a big TV watcher.)

other shows I watch: The 13 Days of Halloween has shown some cute movies.

anticipating: the state cross-country meet, working on my personal history for my newest class, waiting on grades from my first two assignments and the final I completed this week.

reading: The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People  by Stephen R. Covey - I am taking a class at Big Picture Classes & the teacher mentioned the book. I am quickly skimming for a refresher. Also, rotating between several healthy eating/diet books before bed to brainwash myself into eating healthier.

 
things that make me happy: babies, looking through photographs, good friends, listening to The Mormon Channel, driving the new car, when my kids get along, spending time with Scott

eating: lots of sugar! I quiet Diet Coke on October 9th. I suffered nausea and headaches for several days; Excedrin Migraine (Tension Headache Relief at Target) took off the edge. I still think about a Route 44 Sonic Diet Coke a few times a day. Pathetic, but true. I have tried replacing it with other liquids but nothing is the same. Hopefully the feeling will go away as my body cleanses itself of the remnants.

house/seasonal stuff: I love having the Halloween decorations out, but I feel like we don't have very much, but we really do have a lot! I need to print out diagrams or something like I do for Christmas so I know where to put stuff. I bought two new little pictures (5x7) with Eye of Newt & Bat Wing Potion last night for $2 to hang by the front door. Scott hung up a new curtain rod in the dining room & I laboriously ironed new linen curtains to hang. Just hanging curtains makes the room feel so much homier. Weird. Now, I just need to re-hem them so they don't have high waters.

working on: Project Real Life class at Big Picture Classes, plans for our Christmas cruise, Composing your Personal History for my BYU degree, (I am finishing up my degree - 9 classes to go!!) cleaning & sorting my office, a bunch of resolutions related to everything else.

songs I love: "Moving on" by Timbaland; "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" by Israel K...;

stressing about: mission papers and preparation, filling Chris' days with productivity rather than chatter, the election (already decided just praying like crazy that I am happy with the results), my broken toe. (I stubbed in on a dumbbell before we went to Utah. It is still painful - no definitive answer on the Xray but I think it's cracked down the side. The sheets on the bed can bend it wrong & I whimper in my sleep!!)
