The Sunday Salon – November 9, 2008

This is a little late, but hey, it’s still Sunday so I’m good. I’ve been very busy this weekend. I’ve been making lists and doing a bit of shopping which took up much of the weekend. In between it all I also managed to get quite a bit of reading done. It was wonderful.

While out shopping, I convinced myself that I need a Nikon D60. I have a wonderful Canon point-and-shoot but I have been wanting to get a bit more creative and I cannot decide if I want to go Canon again, or Nikon. Suggestions? Pros or cons?

Today at rehearsal for the holiday show, my daughter spent much of the time lip syncing all of the songs. She can’t read all of the lyrics so she just moves her mouth. My son was mortified. Pretty funny to watch. Should be really funny come show time if she has not learned the words by then.

The Sunday Salon – November 2, 2008

It’s been a busy week but a good one. I posted a review of Infidel and then later in the week posted a review of Creepers. I posted the winner of my ARC of Tethered. It was a lot of fun reading about what you enjoy about Halloween.

Speaking of Halloween, everything went smoothly and it was a fun night for everyone. I get a little anxious when I have to work on Halloween. I panic about getting home in time, getting the kids dressed, etc. However, this time I had all the stuff ready to go the night before so it was stress free. My note for next year is to buy extra candy and not put it in the tub. My son and his friend handed out gobs of it within the first half hour of them doing it and I had to resort to whatever was in my house. Boys!

Saturday was rainy so I ran some errands and then curled up on the couch with In The Woods. I managed to polish off about 100 pages so now I feel as if I am making some progress. I know some of you have mentioned that you find it surprising that I am having a hard time getting into it, but I’ve noticed that if it deals with a child and abuse of any kind, I tend to tiptoe around it for awhile before jumping into it.

Today I am taking it easy. I feel a “bug” coming on so I doused myself with vitamin c and lots of fluids and I am sitting here on the couch watching Super Why with Kidlet #2. Later, we plan to visit my nephew who is back from basic training (Army). After that, my husband and I plan to do a little Christmas window shopping while Kidlet #1 and Kidlet #2 rehearse for a variety show this evening. We have to tell Santa what to get! Oh, and it is still raining here but I love it.

What do you have going on today?
