A Glimpse Into a Distracted Mind.

I made chicken and dumplings tonight in the crock pot! I am so proud of my new found skill in crock potting! It seems I can cook as long as I use some gadget thing. I am a master foreman griller and now a great slow cooker-cooker! Tomorrow night is roast beef! The first time I tasted chicken and dumplings was in Germany and I remember thinking that it was delicious but being unable to identify the ingrediants in the dumplings I spent the meal wondering if it was something gross. I was really proud of my dumplings and Ara and I thought they were yum!

Ara is excited about Halloween and I am excited about her excitement for holidays! I just love this time of year when the weather changes (please.. soon.. need less HOT) and all the holidays are lined up ahead of you. I can't wait to start thinking of costumes for Ara. I've tried getting her involved but I don't think she has any idea what I am talking about. So far she has expressed interest in dressing up as... red. Not little red ridding hood or a red train, just red. I think I'll be purple. She is so refreshingly original, no "box" thinking for her!

There is a baby gecko in my house. I just saw the poor little guy scoot behind the entertainment... the TV ( couldn't think of what to call the thing the TV sits on) I hope he finds a door before my cat finds him.

I have afro aerobics tomorrow, I am thinking of doing my toenails because I have to be barefoot. How vain am I? What I should do is find a magic spring that will give me super powers to get through that class with some grace and energy! I am kind of dreading the soreness in my calves I remember from last week. That was insane.

I am starting to get desperate to read eclipse. I keep re-reading parts of Twilight and New Moon but it's not the same. I love being addicted to a new series, it reminds me of old times with Harry Potter. There have been a lot of comparisions between the two series. Mostly I guess because they are both fantasy and both wildly popular. And probably because the Twilight movie has been put into the old HP movie slot (so sad). I know I am only 2 books into the Twlight series but HP still shines in my mind. I am starting the Da Vinci Code tonight and it looks pretty beefy so I hope it can hold my attention until I can get my hands on eclipse.

Time for sleep. I hope this all made sense I have been hopelessly distracted and I have 7 tabs open so I can jump wherever my thoughts take me. I have internet attention disorder.
