good morning monday {october 29}
singing
Paul Simon. he is appearing to me in dreams now. (more on this tomorrow.)
watching
Finding Nemo. haven’t watched this one in a while. i get chills at the part where all the sea creatures and then birds are spreading the story of a fish looking for his son.
House – still watching Season One. Still creepy, but still so good.
in no particular order:
Battlestar Galactica
Ugly Betty (loved it. survivor lost me this week by playing the retrospective)
Gilmore Girls
Studio 60
Heroes (okay THAT show is super good)
(i could keep going but i am a bit embarrassed that i really am watching this much tv)
Whoopi: Back to Broadway (for the second time. so good. so much heart in the midst of her words.)
reading
this blog. i can’t wait to see heather’s fabrics when her line comes out with free spirit.
the poetry of Billy Collins from the collection in Questions about Angels. the poem "candle hat" resonated with me deeply last night as i had a poetry reading in the bathtub. (you can read it here.) when i finished it i exclaimed aloud, "fantastic." i couldn't help myself.
Ina Garten’s new cookbook. (she had me at the dedication.)
creating
something that is, hate to say it, a secret. but i will share pictures after i give them as gifts. (because i am super excited about them.)
enjoying
the way i can now post larger pictures because Deb taught me how to change the size of my blog columns (or whatever the technical term is). Thanks Deb!
cooking/eating
stir fry…with some of our yummy veggies. this is how i will eat those “grassy” leafy greens.
the best peppermint ice cream. slow-churned low-fat dreyers. it tastes like the “real” thing. love it!
drinking
green tea. green tea. and some more…green tea.
anticipating
my brother’s experience at the CMJ Music Marathon in NYC this week. his band, Daytime Volume, was on the front page of the intermission section of our hometown paper (read it here). i can’t wait to tell you how to buy your own copy of the CD that will be released in January – stay tuned. (if you click on their name above you can hear a few of their songs. good stuff.)
a visit from some dear friends…in just a few short days (hours really).
thinking
about how sweet jonny is to help me clean the house. thank you my dear.
about how i work for such an incredible woman. having a boss you admire and respect (and she doesn't care that you work in your pjs because you work from home) is more than a good thing. it is a great, fantastic thing.
loving
flannel pajamas, hot cocoa, saturday college football, sunflowers, the colors of fall, fudge, stripey socks, and pumpkins.

i could just bust...teehee...
dorie is one of my all time favorite disney characters (of course captain jack would be my favorite)...i can often hear britt singing, "just keep swimming, just keep swimming..."
i'm lovin' ugly betty too...did you see the preview of this week's episode? my beautiful, sexy selma is going to be on it!!!..*sigh*...i love her...
i just checked out heather's blog and info. man, great stuff over there. i am amazed, again and again, at the journey of women in the art/craft world. how they do it! seriously, it's inspiring stuff. it's my fuel.
and having listened to your brother's cd a million times, it's no wonder they are on their way. it's so, so good.
have a fabulous weekend - can't wait to hear all about it.
You're welcome! :-)
I'm loving Heroes too! It's one of those shows that's been growing on me gradually...I'm liking it more and more each week as they start bringing the characters together and weaving their individual stories into one. This past week I actually wailed when it ended saying "Nooooooo, not yet!!! I want to know what happens next!!!" :-D At this point I'd say it's become my favorite new show of the season.
I love Ugly Betty too. I'm still hanging in there with Survivor (although I don't know if I will after this season) but I tape UB every week and watch it on nights when nothing good is on.
what no pumpkin soya latte?!!!!
;-)
mmm...need more hot cocoa in my life :)
this post makes me smile and really want some peppermint ice cream. xo
i've been watching Ugly Betty online as well. i really dig it. Betty is the actress from "All Women Have Curves"...did u ever see that film?
love you.
I would love some peppermint ice cream. YUMMY!
I grew up eating those grassy tasting greens, and I am really impressed that you have started to eat them. They are an aquired taste for sure.
Definitely not as good as peppermint ice cream. LOL
Hugs and kisses
Oh, wonderful Monday list! I wish you a wonderful visit w/your friends and a beautiful week ahead.
xoxo
as always,
i love your monday list
but this mornings especially
because of the list of
"loving"
stripey socks and pumpkins...
sigh.
:)
OH, we haven't watched Nemo in forever. I know what you mean about the chills. The part that does it for me (paraphrased!):
Marlin: I promised him I wouldn't let anything happen to him!
Dory: Well, that seems like a funny thing to promise.
Gets me every time. Enjoy!
I'm just waiting for the Paul Simon thing. . .
I'm with you and Deb r... Heroes is SOOOOOOOOOOOOO good!!! I love how excited Hiro gets about little things... like the waffles! *giggles*
Loving BSG but I think I missed it last week... flipped to Sci-fi at the normal time, and Dr Who was on. (I think that's the name of it... I don't watch that show!)
