Sunday

So, it's Sunday. I haven't posted in a while. Because... Because... not sure why. There haven't been any major septic tank problems. My job is... mediocre at best. I've spent time with friends. I've cleaned up a bit around the house... It's just ordinary days. Right now, ordinary is good.

We've disposed of cable TV, so right now we lack any kind of TV reception. Z has yet to set up the antiquated bunny ears. This is a priority on MY list so that I don't miss any more episodes of House or Grey's. The rest of it I'm not too concerned about.

Read many good books lately:
Uglies by Scott Westerfeld -- I need to go out and get the next in the series.
Dry by Augusten Burroughs -- LOVED it! Can't wait to see Running w/Scissors! Augusten is quickly becoming one of my fave writers.
At First Sight by Nicolas Sparks -- Sometimes you just need a good, sappy read!
Still working on:
Amazing Grace by Kathleen Norris. It's not really a book that you read cover to cover. I've been taking it in small chunks, and enjoying it. It's Melissa's book club pick.
Just started:
Rococo by Adriana Trigiani. MG turned me on to her, and I LOVE her writing. The Italian American culture is so close to home, and this one is set in my home state of NJ. Okay, I call it my home state because EVERYONE in my family is from there, but I was raised in good old GA. The only Yankee I got was an intolerance for grits and a love of hot coffee.

Made some chili this AM to bring over to the D Clan's house tonight. It's our annual pumpkin carving evening. What's better than a pot of chili, your brother and sis-in-law, your hubby, and 5 nieces and nephews all together carving pumpkins? Nothing, I tell you. I'm thinking of starting a seed-slinging contest. Andy and Eddie would be GREAT at it.

Z's had to work all weekend. Making the "MOVE." Glad that he's making the overtime, though -- sometimes our money seems to go down the drain -- literally, ha! I'll continue to work around here. Finish some Christmas presents I'm making, and plan for our trip to Brevard. White squirrels, here I come!!!!
