Friday!

This week actually feels like it went by pretty quickly. :) I don't know how that happened but okay. This weekend is going to be pretty quiet. I am going to try to clean our carpets tomorrow and just do some major house cleaning. That's the mood that I am in right now (we'll see what kind of mood I am in tomorrow).

Tomorrow our nephew, Jake, is getting baptized. His little sister Sophia is getting blessed. We ventured out to find Jake a baptism gift (we got him these pictures you put in your scriptures to sort of illustrate the stories). There was some book signing at the store so our 5 minute leisurely trip actually turned out to be anything but. I hate crowds so much. Anyway, It's going to be a good family day tomorrow. After that I think I am going to make Dave take me to see the lights at Temple Square (I was after him to take me last year but that didn't happen).

I've started reading the Chronicles of Narnia again. I love that series. :) If you haven't read them, I highly recommend them.

Reading

I'm one of those people who cannot put a book down once they have started it. Right now I am reading a book that I am not finding particularly interesting and it doesn't look like it will get much better. But I feel committed to finishing it because I have started it. Oh well.

Tonight Dave and I are going to a Halloween party at my friend April's. It is going to be a lot of fun. I would be more excited but I'm pretty tired.

Oh and Dave did the most wonderful thing ever last night. I had these brownie treats that I needed to make for the party today. I wasn't going to be home until late last night (working) and Dave knew that I was tired after a long week and not looking forward to more cooking. Anyway, Dave (my knight in shining armor) made the whole treat with the topping and everything! It was the best surprise and such a relief.

The Tale of Desperaux being the story of a mouse, a princess, some soup, and a spool of thread.

I have just started reading this book and it is so incredibly cute! I totally recommend it to everyone. :) I know it's a kids book, but it makes me smile. The chapters are short so it's good for "inbetween" activities (like when I am at work and waiting for something to open or save, etc). And pretty much every chapter makes me smile for one reason or another. It's just a sweet book. :) And it reminds me just a little of the stories my mom used to tell us when were young.

Breaking Dawn

Yeah, I am that kind of nerd that will line up at a bookstore to be one of the first to get my copy. Tonight (at midnight) Breaking Dawn (the fourth in the Twilight Series) is being released. Barnes and Noble is making it easier this time though- instead of waiting in line, I just had to go in and pick up a wrist band with a number on it. :) Convenient for me is that I work 5 minutes (walking) from a bookstore so I could go over there this morning when the store opened to pick up my wristband. Even at 9 AM there was already a line started- I guess every one else had the same idea too. :)

Tonight my friend April and I will be going to the party- I think they are going for the "Prom" motif. There will be pictures and dancing and costume contests. This is the kind of book release that I like. Anyway, it will be fun.
