Also intend to wear my little Ipod as it's a lot more relaxing to walk with tunes. Been a while since I used my Ipod (it's an old one) but it's lightweight and easy to operate. My newer Ipod (which also hasn't been used much) is a little more difficult to use. I can't seem to get the tunes to play that I want--it has kind of a mind of it's own. Anyhow, I've got it charging in my computer and I'm looking forward to walking along the water.
I baked an apple pie this morning using ready made pie crusts. Never bought those before as my pie crust recipe is fairly easy and tastes really good. I was surprised at how simple using ready made is. I'll buy them again if I need a pie in a hurry but the texture and taste don't even come close to my own.
Maddie needed a pick up from the high school (cross country track practice) so we stopped at the library afterwards so I could pick up two more James Patterson novels. Also checked out two audio books as I plan on doing some sewing this week. I did get one quilt square cut out and will sew it tomorrow as well as a couple more.
Was in an "ordering on line" kind of mood today. I got my Amazon Prime and my Visa bill this week and both were very low indeed. Just the kind of incentive I needed to not feel guilty about ordering. I sent for a crossword puzzle book and a book called 'Dad is Fat'. Also, the paperback of the first series of Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin. A Song of Ice and Fire.
Also saw the first season of Thrones on DVD on sale for 50% off so I stuck that in my shopping cart too. As I recall, I tried to read Martin's book before but couldn't stick with it. Typical for me as I get easily distracted and don't always put more effort into following the first few chapters. I've wanted to see Game of Thrones ever since it started getting rave reviews but I don't subscribe to HBO and the seasons weren't available to buy for a long time.
I've been watching Nurse Jackie on Showtime the last few weeks. I think I start Season 7 tonight and that's the final. Next I plan on watching 'The Affair'. Have a few others that look interesting too.
I sent in a 100-word story to Reader's Digest so now I'll have to keep an eye out to see if it gets published. I think they post most of the stories online but if they use it in the paper magazine, you get $100. Sometimes you have to wait months to find out but that's okay. I think I'll work on a Town Kid blog tomorrow. Haven't really picked a topic yet but something will come to mind. Am thinking I might write about grandparents.
Tomorrow marks the 44th birthday of my son. Still hard to believe my youngest kids are in their forties -- or that my first grandchild is halfway through her twenties. What's even harder to believe is that my age starts with a 7!
Well, I didn't get a nap today and I've been yawning off and on for a couple hours. Guess that means I won't be staying up too late. Time to head to the kitchen and heat up some leftovers for supper.
Here's some interesting pictures I got in an email today....
