i should never really surf amazon

I really should never really surf Amazon, because then I want things. I know I probably should have come up with this before Christmas, but how awesome does this look:


Each page has a date (minus the year), and a question about your day, what you think about something, how you feel about something, etc. Following that, there are five places to enter an answer. You fill in the first one. Then the next day you fill in the first answer on the next page, and when you get to the end of the book, you go back to the beginning and fill in the next blank under the same question. There are 365 days. Cool eh?

I saw this at school today, and I want it too:


The book is made up of literally, 642 things to write about, and writing space for each of them. It is literally, English homework for grownups! I know! You are all clicking the link right now and ordering it!

Why is it that I always have a way better wish list in January than I do in November?

I love the journal book. Great idea, would be fun to look back over the past years answers and see how your perspective has changed. I like that it's short and sweet - easy to journal every day when it's not a chore. Order me one too please!!

Do you really want me to order you one? Because then I would HAVE to order one, instead of not ordering one because I feel bad for spending money in January. And if I order 2 then we won't have to pay shipping and you could just pay me for yours when you come next Saturday!!

Also, yay someone read my blog! lol

ok...I totally LOVE that Q & A journal book! Wouldn't it make the perfect 18th birthday present?! To capture a snapshot for each day from ages 18-23? So much will change in those years...like finishing high school and living at home...to choosing a career...to possibly even dating or *ack* getting married and moving out. I may have to think of getting this for Kiandra for her birthday. Thanks for sharing it!

Have you seen the Listology book...it's a whole journal of lists: http://www.amazon.ca/Listography-Journal-Your-Life-Lists/dp/0811859088

dinnertime/breakfast time woes

Suppertime is such a performance sometimes. Why is it so hard to get kids to eat their supper? Last winter I started cooking all these fun meals out of these healthy living cookbooks. There was pasta, cheese, cooked spinach (I love spinach in foods), stir fries, fun burgers, etc. The kids would see a hint of green and spend the next twenty minutes moaning and choking it down. That's the older two. The younger two wouldn't even pretend to try. Eventually I kind of gave up and went back to the regular five dinners that I remake over and over and over and just made sure to serve them with salads and veggies. Jordan eats. Tennyson whines about not liking noodles, potatoes or vegetables but usually we can bully him into eating his dinner. Who doesn't like any side that goes with beef or chicken? Seriously? Not liking pasta? Or potatoes? Or rice unless it's floating in sweet and sour sauce? Good grief. I'm so glad that their pickiness is so individual to each child. Tha

today's to-do's

Things to do: dust. As if. It's been on my list for weeks, I mean, days. prepare income tax stuff. Too bad it's all scattered within different piles of papers throughout the house, garage, back lane, trunk of the neighbor's car. sort piles of paper (see previous). cook carrots and sweet potatoes. Puree into a delicious paste to be fed to the baby and sneaked into my family's dinner. make dinner (or "supper", if I don't want to sound all hoity toity ). Add "orange puree" and "white bean puree" to the pizza sauce. Wait to see if husband notices. daydream of the day when Steven's scurvy clears up. pick up the big kids from school (it lets out in 8 minutes. I should probably go now). okay, going . . . . . . okay, back. You'd be pleased to know that although school let out only 8 minutes after I posted that last bullet, I first went down and switched my wash into the dryer and started another load in the washer. I remember, once upo

two things: one to do with running, the other with my fastly-deteriorating fashion sense

I've started running again. I'm not sure if I ever "officially" stopped, but I only ran twice in August, totalling about nine miles, so I kind of felt like when I restarted in September that I was, well, restarting. This is probably not even blog-worthy. It would probably be better served disappearing into the chasm that is facebook, but I need blog topics, so here it is. I once had a friend (coughcoughangelacough) who said that she didn't run outside because she was afraid that just maybe, she ran "funny," and people would see her. Being an awesome friend, I insisted that surely she didn't. I lied. I have never even seen her run. I have just recently decided that she does run funny. Wanna know why? (as if spell check didn't underline 'wanna') Everyone runs funny. Quite seriously, everyone . I prefer to run outside, because the treadmill sucks my will to live, and a mile or two in I turn into a sighing, eye-rolling teenager, o
