WEDNESDAY Catch-Up

Just in case you are interested in what is going on with me at this very nano-second........

What I'm shopping for:
Well I spent precisely $107 at the food store tonight getting stuff for Vinny's birthday dinner but in case food items don't count ('cause they're boring anyway!), I took the kids to the mall yesterday and dropped some cash on new clothes for my slimmer waist. A-woo hoo! I got tons of capris, a few tanks (my favorite would have to be my white GUESS one with the diamond "G" blinging in your face), sandals and some other tops. Oh and I got Vinny $3.99 worth of socks at Target. Hey, he was entitled to something.......

What I'm reading:
I started "The Amityville Horror" but stopped after a chapter or so. I don't know - nothing compares to the way the prosecutor in the Manson case wrote his book and THAT is my all-time favorite true-crime novel. This was written so half-assed and shabby that it just doesn't creep me out like I wanted it to. Maybe I'll still try to get more into it though. And maybe not. I am not ready to make a concrete decision at this time. ;)

Of course, I am also reading my magazines. That includes this week's People (50 Most Beautiful bullcrap on the cover), Parents, a new TV magazine I bought today, Shape and I just got my new Woman's Day in this afternoon's mail. I love WD but I am really glad *sarcasm ahead* I wasted my time sending them a letter asking them to change my name to the correct spelling. I am still receiving my magazine as Gina Mikller. I know it's a lot to expect. Miller can really throw one for a loop!

What I'm watching:
As ALWAYS, American Idol! I was so happy to see Scott kicked off tonight! I actually voted Anthony off and if he went, I would have pulled solely into the lead. But it was his birthday and I felt so bad thinking he would be booted on his birthday! I am just angered that Scott goes the ONE week I don't boot him off in our pool. Murphy's Law huh? ;)

What's in the DVD player:
An Ernie (Sesame Street) video but right near the DVD player is one of my Tae-Bo's. I skipped last night (and the night before too perhaps?!) so I really need to buckle down and do this tonight. Yuck.

What's on the computer desktop:
I used the family shot of us at RoseMarie's this week. I usually keep the 4 of us on there at all times.

What I'm listening to:
Just a mixture of stuff. The kid's are both asleep and they each have a Baby Mozart/Baby Vivaldi CD going... the TV is on in the background (Roseanne!). Music wise, one of the last songs I heard on the radio was Kelly Clarkson's "Breakaway". A song I love to listen to on my current mixed CD is "Alone" by Heart.

What I'm eating:
I'm trying to "watch it" but it gets hard! The last meal I had for dinner tonight was raviolis in my sauce with some sweet Italian sauages and turkey meatballs. I had 2 raviolis so I felt ok about that. Of course, I had a cup of coffee and some sweet next door for dessert but c'mon.... I can't resist a good cookie!

What I'm wearing:
navy blue thermal pants (sooooooo comfy!) and my new bright blue tank that says HOLLYWOOD on it. Only I am a little P-Oed because I cut into my sausage at dinner tonight and the damn grease splattered two teensy marks on my tank. The thing is not even 24 hours old. Grrr.........

What I'm scrapping:
I am not too inspired this evening. I am more on a kit-buying frenzy. My next few pages involve 1 of Andrew and 1 of Emily's escape from the crib.

Tomorrow's goals (Thursday)
Cook! I have to make Vinny's birthday dinner plus his strawberry shortcake (I made the Mexican brownies in honor of his 28th and Cinco de Mayo tonight) I also am going to WalMart with Andrew for Vinny's gift. And possibly to find Emily her new bed.
