There are a couple of trees in the neighborhood that are actually turning colors and I don’t mean “dried out California brown”. It must be Fall”ish”.

Here’s my week:

Monday, October 20, 2008 – Taking a much needed day off! I have to take Kidlet #2 to the dentist, right smack in the middle of the day, so I decided to take the day off to do it. Going to the dentist is always an adventure. Her dentist has an office that is filled with Disney memorabilia, old fashioned video games like Pac Man and Ms. Pac Man and they don’t need quarters! Kidlet #1 has rehearsal in the evening so that is uninterrupted reading time for me.

Tuesday, October 21, 2008 – Work, work, work. However, after work I will be going to see Nights In Rodanthe, based on the book by Nicholas Sparks. It stars Richard Gere and Diane Lane. Hello! I love them.

Wednesday, October 22, 2008 – Work and yoga. Yoga is getting to be quite challenging now. Surprisingly, the hardest moves are not the pretzel like positions but instead the ones where you need to balance for long lengths of time. Today is Book Club Girls’ on air show with DeLaune Michel, the author of The Safety of Secrets. For more info on the show click here. Tonight is rehearsal for Kidlet #1.

Thursday, October 23, 2008 – Today I am going to a conference on Assistive Technology. I’m a tech writer so writing documents that can be read with a screen reader is a bit of a challenge. The conference is hosted by the university that I work for so at least I don’t have to fly or drive anywhere. I will be offline almost the entire day though.

Friday, October 24, 2008 – Work as usual. However tonight is Fall Family Night at the kids’ school. It’s a PTO event that I am co-chairing but my kids don’t want to attend! They will be home with Daddy while I slave over the popcorn machine, the bake sale table, etc. My oldest is convinced it is for little kids and since he is not going, my little one doesn’t want to go either, and hubby? Hubby doesn’t do well with 300+ kids screaming and running around. In his defense…who does?

The Weekend – Saturday my hubby is taking Kidlet #1 to Six Flags. I plan to spend the day at both of the major bookstores to attend story time with my daughter. My daughter is not into Six Flags so we’d much rather spend the day browsing bookstores.

It just occurred to me that there isn’t much book related stuff in here. I will have my review of Infidel written but I can’t post it until after my book club meets. I may have a giveaway in here somewhere too but not sure when or what I will giveaway.

Looks like I am gearing up for another busy week and October is almost half way over with. I’m starting think about Thanksgiving already. I know. Someone, please strike me now. Any good recipes??

Monday, October 13, 2008 – I have to skip yoga today because I am leaving work early to take Kidlet #2 for her kindergarten physical. However, when I called to make the appointment, they told me that Kidlet #1 had to come in too, so I will be holding down both kids while they get their required boosters. Not fun!! I also have to take Kidlet #1 to rehearsal this evening but that’s okay because that translates to reading time for me.

Tuesday, October 14, 2008 – Big meeting today for our division. A grand way to start the day (insert sarcasm here). As for reading, I had to put In The Woods on hold as I got a late notice for Infidel and the library won’t let me renew it. That means that I am incurring charges for however long it takes me to finish it. I hate that, but I have to finish it because it’s my book club’s pick this month. It started off slow but it’s picking up a bit now.

Wednesday, October 15, 2008 – Another meeting this morning then yoga at lunch. Dinner tonight with a friend.

Thursday, October 16, 2008 – I have my own doc appointment so I will be late for work this morning. Husband is meeting up with friends this evening so it will be just the kids and me. Plan to write my review of Infidel but probably won’t be able to post it until after my group meets. I don’t like to tip my hand before the group meets.

Friday, October 17, 2008 – Nothing scheduled for me. My husband is taking my son to the high school football game this evening so it will be me and Kidlet #2. We’ll probably spend the evening reading as she loves story time. I also need to get some pictures into frames so that I can get them up on the wall. It takes me forever to get them hung.

The Weekend – Saturday night we are going to a bowling fundraiser. I am not a bowler but I’m game and it sounds like fun. Sunday there is a special event going on at one of the local high schools that we may check out. It’s an expo for kids so there will be all sort of activities and the best part…it’s free! Can’t beat that.

Nothing spectacular to speak of but maybe that’s a good thing. I need a breather. What’s going on this week for you?
