Happy Valentine's Day

Kaitlin brought Valentine balloons home for all of us last night. Abby and Muffin have been having a lot of fun dragging them around the house, even though there is a weight on the bottom.

It's been a long week, probably made longer by the fact I was anxious for Friday since I'm on vacation next week! YIPPEE!

I'm still working on Project 365 - documenting a picture a day in 2009. Here are some recent pics:

Cinnamon with a giant rawhide bone...

Books I just received from my book club - from some of my favorite authors:

Kaitlin's truck:

She was hit in her school parking lot just over a week ago. Some guy was backing out of his space and backed right into her. Not a lot of damage - just the cover over her blinker and her bumper. Still waiting on his insurance company to return our call.

Current music: Daughtry. Hadn't listened to his CD in a long time, and it's really good!

Current book: Virgin River by Robyn Carr

And a quote to end this post: "Character is the ability to carry out a good resolution long after the excitement of the moment has passed." -- Cavett Robert

Fun times with Lenore

While Lenore and Daniel were here, she had a library book panel at the Johnson County Library in Overland Park. So, on Tuesday afternoon, November 27th, Lenore, her friend Rachelle and I took off for KC. We had a great time visiting on the way up and back, and I didn't get tired at all driving! We stopped for a quick bite to eat at Arby's and filled up with gas at QT before heading to the library. It was an interesting panel featuring Bethany Hagen, author of Landry Park, which comes out next year; Gennifer Albin, author of Crewel, which was released a few months ago; and Lenore, whose book will be released on January 15. Here's the panel: Me & Lenore: Lenore & Rachelle: Gennifer, Bethany and Lenore

K-STATE WINS!

K-STATE beat KU! AWESOME! It was a tense game. Corby is a huge KU fan, and even having a son at K-State hasn't changed that. I am happy when any Kansas team does well; but I had to root for K-State tonight. If the Jayhawks had to lose, I'm glad it was to K-State. Michael Beasley is a great player, and my only concern is that he will leave after his freshman year and go pro. WAY TO GO CATS!
