Ten For Today

My grade school friend, Jaclyn, has a blog on which she writes posts titled "Ten on Tuesday" in which she blogs about ten random (and sometimes not so random) things.  I really like this idea because I like to skip from subject to subject.  As we all know, I am very random on my publishing dates (though I strive to be better) so the thought of me pulling off a "Ten on Tuesday" post every week seemed heinous to me.  Ok, maybe that's a little dramatic.  Let's just say I don't think I could be faithful each and every Tuesday to blogger.

With that in mind, I thought I had a major idea and I would just call mine "Ten for Today", so as not to be tied down to a specific day.  How absurd.  Well, come to find out, my friend Jaclyn already thought of this too!  It must have been the superb teaching we had once upon a time at Thompsonville Grade School that made our great minds think alike!

Dum du dum dum dummmmm.....here it is, my first ever Ten for Today!!  I wonder if this will be as short lived as my Random Picture Posts?! 

1.  I am really wanting to get an Amazon Kindle, or something of the sort.  But, I'm not really sure if this would be cost effective for me.  I refuse to purchase books since I can rent them from the library.  I think  there are some books that are free to download, but probably none that I would want.  So, if I refuse to buy paper books, what are the chances that I would buy an ebook?  Any advice on the subject would be appreciated!

2. We went out on dad's boat this weekend for the first time this summer.  I opted not to tube, as things hurt more the older wiser I get.  I think this was a smart decision, after listening to my husband complain of a sore neck and shoulders! 

3.  I have a journal that I keep for Grace, highliting the special, funny, and sometimes mundane points each year of her life.  Think baby book, but not for a baby.  I look at it every day and think of how I need to update it.  She will be 9 in Sept and I'm just finishing the year she was 7.  Good think I've kept notes through the year!

4.  I need to sleep!  I haven't been sleeping well.  I don't know if it's our matress, though it's not that old; or if it's the pillows, I can never find a comfortable one; or if it's just my inability to shut my mind off!  I think it's all of the above!

5.  It rained like a monsoon today.  I left my car windows cracked an inch.  Reh!

6.  We will be taking a *little* vacation in a few weeks.  I've narrowed a few things down, but need to get rolling and make some reservations.  We may just end up staying at Chateau La'Fralick if I don't get in gear!! 

7.  Grace has decided she wants to be a fashion designer.  I think it would be neat to get her a little sewing machine and some fabrics.  We already sew some stuff on mine (read: pillows -- what do I know about fashion?!) but she wants to make shirts, skirts, etc.  I'd have to polish up my skills, once in home ec in 8th grade, I sewed the sleeve of my sweatshirt I was making to the neck.  Oops.

8.  I've been assisting my friend Liz who owns Moments Photography with some weddings.  Though I don't really think weddings are something I have a passion for doing on my own, I've been having a great time being her assistant. 

9.   Wow, thinking of ten things is harder than I thought it would be!  Seriously.  Try it.

10.  How about a picture for my last one?  I knew you'd like that.  Watch out LPGA!!
