Multitasking

I think variety really is the spice of life. My mom says she thinks I have attention deficit disorder. But I know I just get bored easily. I have a stack of books at home and no desire to pick any of them up right now. I really want to read Harry Potter but it's just so darn big. Especially with all the new tv shows on... I've been glued to the set for Lost, Desparate Housewives, and counting down the hours til Alias this Thursday.

I'm so impatient. I ordered books from Amazon on Sept 15th and they still aren't here. Ahhhh.... damn that super saving shipping.

Ben and I were bored last night and couldn't think of anything to do other than drink beer. We really need to get a hobby. I bet all of you out there with kids wish you had this problem - tired of having too much time for drinking beer.....

Look how cute my niece Nora is. Here she is with my mother-in-law Tricia. The background is my kitchen.













Here are my latest knitting projects. Hats for Christmas gifts and the pre-felted version of my felted clogs/slippers project. I included what the final product is supposed to look like after I felt them by throwing them in the washing machine!

September is my birthday month

Books I've Read Lately
The Inn at Lake Devine - a cute, quick read about a girl who is upset that her Jewish family is not welcome at a vacation property

Women of the Silk - an amazing coming of age story set in rural China about a daughter who was sold into the silk factories to make money for her starving family

Movies & TV Update
Forgotten - movie with Julianne Moore - interesting theme that a mother cannot be made to forget the bond she had with her son

National Treasure & My Boss's Daughter were terrible, unwatchable, bad, bad, bad movies

Reunion - a new tv show that has mystery and interesting characters, seems like each episode will focus on a different year leading up from 1986 to the present day when one of the six friends is murdered

I'm looking forward to the season premier of Gilmore Girls tonight and the new season of Survivor starting this Thursday!!
