Five new books I bought that I’d wanted for awhile:

1. How To Speak, How To Listen by Mortimer Adler (because I am not the best on either of these things)
2. Living More With Less by Doris Janzen Longacre (because while I’m not crunchy, I do care about the earth and its people)
3. More With Less Cookbook by Doris Janzen Longacre (because I want to eat simpler meals and need new ideas)
4. Mama’s Vintage Remedies (because I want to take better care of my body)
5. Another Sort of Learning by James Schall (because I want to do a DIY college of sorts)

and one more for the road:

6. Fashon For Dummies by Jill Martin (because at 52 I need direction)

Five used book finds:

1. Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte (because my old copy is pretty beat up)
2. Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain (because we need it for school reading)
3. 50 Is the New Fifty by Suzanne Braun Levine (because I am needing help with this new decade I’ve entered)
4. More Book Lust by Nancy Pearl (because it’s always fun to look for new books which this book helps you with)
5. Beat Overeating Now by Scott Isaacs, M.D. (because this is a reasonable book with no weird diet plan – just common sense plus help understanding how your body works)

1. After the roads kind of recovered from the snow Sunday, more snow fell this morning. It was a slippery drive taking Steve to work. Yes, I actually drove in the snow. Two days in a row!
2. Mike helped out with the driving in the afternoon, by which time most roads were clear. What??!!
3. Good housework day.
4. Showed Tree Change Dolls to the girls – thinking it could be a fun project for us to do too.
5. Need to finish and file the taxes – almost done. Don’t know why I’m dragging my feet on it this year.

Mr. Pencil…and Mr. Pen, Ms. Eraser, Billy-Bob Brush…

I wish the Elmo dolls would just go away. Ditto for all the potty training dolls.

Pony pile!

Ths one just boggles the mind.

It’s Metro Ken! Or is it Lumberjack Ken?

1. A day at the salon for Becky, Katie, and yours truly. Nothing like a new hair cut to lift your spirits. So glad I’ve found a really great hairdresser and a great salon.
2. Starbucks after the haircuts – naturally. :-)
3. It’s Becky’s day out with mom. Nothing brings girls together like talking and shopping.
4. After a long day of shopping and chauffeuring I decided to just put leftovers on the table – we’ll have a bigger meal tomorrow when I have the energy to cook it.
5. Tomorrow will also be a day to stay in – cold and light snow.

1. Oven repair guy is on vacation until March 2 – wtf???
2. Nothing like cheap Valentine’s candy when a good day goes bad.
3. Another family movie night – Nemo. Popcorn and Bugles were the snacks.
4. Reading Fifty Is The New 50. More on that another day – great stuff!
5. Meditation before bed tonight.

1. Snow Day! Luckily, it wasn’t much snow and most of the roads are in pretty good shape.
2. Katie and Becky spent most of the afternoon outside building a snowman (NO references to any stupid Disney snowman please).
3. Got caught up on laundry and cleaning – especially sanitizing due to this latest outbreak at our house. People are on the mend thankfully.
4. Chocolate pudding after supper. Just for me. :-)
5. Oops – forgot about the taxes. Hopefully tomorrow night while Mike’s at bowling and the evening will be quiet.
