Sunday Salon

Outside my window: The sun is streaming in along with the light breeze. Together the are making the shadow leaves on the wall dance. I can hear kids playing somewhere nearby. All put together makes for a great Sunday afternoon.

I am listening to: This morning it was "The Sound of Music" as I got ready for church. Right now I am listening to my "Super Soundtracks" playlist on my itunes... Have I mentioned that I love soundtracks? Well I do. Love them! Kinda obsessed with them...

I am watching: 24. Oh, yes! Let the TV series addiction bug please take over! No matter how bad my life is, at least it is not Jack Bower's. And I get to sleep at night, unlike everyone in that show. Poor fictional characters... no wonder everyone is so cranky in that show, they never sleep!

I am thinking: I should really be writing my talk for church instead of a blog...

I am grateful for: Insoles for my shoes, because the first three days of school have been torture on my poor little feet!

I am reading: The Man Who Loved Jane Austen, Matched, and need to start The Help for my newly founded book club! WOO HOO!!!

I am photographing: nothing...

I am listing: All the things I need to do. Go back to school clothes shopping. Make lesson plans. Write talk. Correct Tests. Fill in my gradebook. Format my clickers in my classroom. Choreograph a bollywood dance. Plan for my advisory class. Become a better teacher. Change students' lives. Save the world... nothing big

I am creating: Lesson Plans and a church talk on Prayer. Any thoughts or suggestions?

I am hoping and praying for: a good memory. Come Tuesday, I hope I remember my students names.

Around the house: Are some house guests. Old friends have come to visit for the long weekend. Fun times.

From the Kitchen: I made a Symphony pie. Graham cracker crust, melted Symphony bar mixed with whipped cream... mmmm......

One of my favorite things: After a summer break, and then three days of almost non-stop talking, my throat hurts, so I am loving Halls lemon honey throat drops! Oh and sleep. Sleep is also my favorite!

Plans for the week: Survive.

Stuart has decided to watch 24 too.... just the first episode so far. I decided not to join him at the moment, because I'm still watching Dr. Who right now.

I'm ready to read Divergent and Supernaturally. When do you want to start THOSE books? :)

Um... well, I was ready two weeks ago, but now that I am in charge of a book club now (YAY!) I have to read the Help first so I can, you know do my book club.Which one do you want to read first?

Suey said...

Divergent I think. Have you started The Help? What do you think so far? When will you be having your first book club meeting? Mine gets going again next week. Very excited.

we are either going to do it the fourth tuesday or the fourth Saturday... the girls need to give me their input. I am very stressed right now... So I haven't started the help yet. AH! Do you know of an online swap thing. My girls are looking for copies cuz there are not enough at the library!

Totally support watching 24. I only have 2 season until the end. Jack Bauer is the man!!!

Nathan and I watched several seasons of 24 a while back, but last week I happened to pick up another season at the library. Although I haven't yet found time to watch any of it.

I am not familiar with very many of the books on your list. I guess I am not in the know.

So I didn't know that you had actually started your blog. How did I miss that?

We started 24 last week and are loving it.
