Lisa's Logbook - October 3

Outside: 54 and cloudy. We turned the furnace on last night. Made it to October without it - YAY!

Sounds: movie previews on TV from the Letters to Juliet DVD

Home: Gave James Suzy's twin bed. Sorted through the coats and jackets and sweatshirts. Bob put together a small desk we had in storage that we will use for a computer the kids need for lessons. Still hanging laundry on the line.

Projects: Working on the SOF directory and labels for the picture day coming up.

Pondering: what to write this year for NaNoWriMo. The rules say to write an entirely new story (and I'm thinking of doing that, but what?), but I've been asked to expand my Ancient Egyptian novella and maybe I should do that instead. Have YOU signed up yet?

Teaching: Same stuff as before. Oh wait, we are doing Sketch Tuesday this year.

Gratitude: thankful that my Austen class for teens is going well. It seems that the girls (9 of them) are enjoying the books and movies thus far!

Recipes: Going to make quiche this week. Maybe some chili.

Duds: Black yoga pants, grey long sleeved tee, black hoodie, white socks, no makeup

Reads: Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell

Vids: Hackers (movie from the 90's with Jonny Lee Miller and Angelina Jolie), Northanger Abbey (with my Austentatious teens), Calvin Marshall (baseball movie with Steve Zahn), Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure (in preparation for a party we've been invited to), Letters to Juliet (just sort of watching; saw it in the theater and it wasn't my fav. Not sure why I bothered a second time.)

Hopes: that the soccer tournament Emily's team is in will be a good experience for her.

Love: kickboxing class - if you live near me, you should come join us on Wednesday mornings. It's only $1!

Plans: Working 4-5 hours M-F, Soccer practices and games for all & a tournament for Emily, co-op, a Big Ten Party (10-10-10)

Pic: James made this burger from Bendaroos. Pretty awesome-looking, eh? If you want to see all its parts, click HERE.
