spending... a lot of time outside and in our garden! The past two weekends we spent almost completely outside! The yard looks great and we're pretty much all planted with some things starting to sprout! But with all this nice weather lately I'm...

listening... to it rain on the roof right now. I'm not complaining, I love the sound of rain. Plus it will keep the grass green. And with this slight lobster hue on my shoulders from yesterday's sun, I could use a day or two inside.

snacking.... on green grapes! After a week-end of not so healthy calorie choices I'm feeling guilty and back to better choices. I'm hoping to reach 2-0 pounds lost by the end of the week so I need to get to it!


reading...  Girl Walks into a Bar. I love reading biographies so when I was looking for a new book to download onto my kindle I decided to give this one a try. I saw her on a talk show promoting this book and she made me laugh a few times so I thought I couldn't go wrong. I was right! I'm about 3/4 of the way through this book and it's made me laugh out loud quite a few times. Which isn't always the best thing because Jon has been sleeping next to me! I appreciate her sense of  humor so I've been enjoying reading it.

tapping...  my foot to Little Talks by Of Monsters And Men. I like to turn the online radio station Jango on sometimes in the afternoon. Sometimes they pick great songs for me but other times they're a little off. I'm not THAT big of a fan of Little BowWow that they need to play him every other song.

worried...  about coming across a bear on our daily walks! We've seen a couple bears while we're driving but haven't seen them while we're on foot.  Yesterday after we parted from our walking partner she said a couple minutes later a truck stopped when they were driving past and told her she had walked past a bear! It was in a clearing just far enough she couldn't see it on foot but he saw from his vehicle! We always have the dogs so we'd be ok but it still makes me nervous!

excited... about the art journal I started this weekend! I've admired them for a long time now and really wanted to give it try. My perfectionism and criticalness was keeping me from just going for it. But this week-end I decided what can it hurt! I've only done two pages so far but I'm really enjoying the process. I'm not an artist by any means but it's definitely challenging me to be creative in different ways!
