First Day of Preschool!

Fall Into Reading 2010

 I have been looking for a good reading challenge.  Something not too hard to do, but something I could really do, just for me.  I am going to be doing a lot of reading/knitting this fall, with Emma in Preschool.  She is going across the city, so I probably will just stay over in that area, preferrably at Starbucks or the library. 

This reading challenge is great sinc you only have to do the books you put on the list for yourself.  It only goes from September 22nd-December 20th, which I think I can do.  I already am coming up with a list of books to read in my head.  I will post these on the 22nd when the challenge starts.  Until then, I better finish reading the book I am reading right now, so I can start fresh.

Feel free to join me in this challenge.  I know that Kim is over at Misplaced Midwesterner.  The rest of you may join in, too!!  Just click the graphic above to find out more info!!  Let's fall into reading together!!

Friday Fill-In: A Long Weekend

Aidan is out early today.  It is a Friday on a long weekend.  Ahhh...life is good, at least for today.  Hope you all have a wonderful weekend (long or short) doing whatever you decide to do!!
 
1. Family is very important to me.  Without my family (and friends) where would I be??

2. I may get tired of driving back and forth. (To drop people off at school, that is!)  But, Aidan is really enjoying his new school and Emma will LOVE Preschool.

3. I love a good thinking movie, which is why I absolutely LOVED "Inception".  A must-see for those of you who like to leave a movie still thinking about it.  I need to rewatch it soon because I have so many unanswered questions.  Christopher Nolan is great at these types of movies.

4. Cold pizza makes a good meal.

5. I've got the coffee pot on, the house is quiet and it is just Emma and I, and we are both tired.  Makes for a quiet morning!

6. Another Oil Rig explosion: wth!!!  At least it was not as bad as the previous one, but still...Perhaps we should be taking more time, energy and care to make sure that rigs are in good working condition!!

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to watching some more of the "Tin Man" miniseries on DVD (pretty good stuff), tomorrow my plans include going to the library and church and Sunday, I want to relax, grocery shop, supper with my family and then we are having our first Ranger meeting (Girl Guides - the older girls (high school age))!

Back to School

All ready to go!!
