Sunday, sunday


My Mom gave me all the books to the Twilight series and I just completed book # 2 last night. Oh my word are they good!! Exciting and fast paced I'm hanging on every word about Bella and Edward. The teacher in the room next to mine read the series also. I had to laugh when she told me her husband would come home on the weekends after working away all week and want to catch up. "I have to find out what's going on. Edward is in trouble", she would tell him. The author Stephanie Meyer is so descriptive with the character's feelings and happenings that you feel as if you are in the book right along with them. I highly recommend the series.
Speaking of books, I'm reading Taking Charge of Your Infertility . I'm pretty good about being in tune to my body and I thought I would chart some cycles and see if that helps. Anything to give the swimmers a chance. Has anyone used this book to help them? Specifically to help with low number of swimmers. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
I'm going to take my puppies for a walk and go for another long walk myself. I have to bake brownies and get ready for a baby shower. It's for a good friend of mine that I love dearly. It will be hard for me to go but I would do anything for her.

How's it going?

We took a lovely trip to Jim Thorpe today. Why you ask? For wine. Yes, we traveled 45 mins. one way for wine. Let me explain about this nectar-it's delicious, sweet, fruity, hints of apple pie a la mode wine. We bought three varities: La Brusca, Apple Raspberry and Spicy Apple. And the best part: it's $8 a bottle!! I know!!! Good times! We are having Easter dinner here because mil had knee surgery (she's doing really well, thank you) and we thought we should be prepared.
I feel bad that in the way of preparations we aren't really doing much. Sil is making the ham, stuffing and sweet potatoes, mil is making bread, my Mom is making ricotta cheese cookies (soooo delish!!) and regular potatoes (because, omg, my Dad has to have regular potatoes), we are making tilapia, salad and homemade fudgy brownies.
I, of course, am going to clean like a crazy person. I like things to be neat, clean and orderly when we have company. I'm going to straighten up tonight and tomorrow will be cleaning.
I also have to shop for Easter baskets. Last minute Annie, that's me. But I do get everything done. I work better under pressure.
How are things on your end?
