I read at least 41 books in 2007.  I say ‘at least’ because I’m sure there are some that I forgot to add to the list somewhere along the way.  Is that a lot?  It doesn’t seem like very many.

It is rainy outside.  I hate rainy.  There is also a tornado watch until 9 pm tonight.   This makes me want to hibernate inside all day.  The storm sirens are going off as I type this.  We have now been upgraded to a tornado warning.  Maybe I will venture out into the rain once more today and go down the street to Grandma’s and camp out in their basement tonight.  I really wish our basement was finished.  Arwyn is taking a nap.  It looks like the storm is headed toward the north side of the city, so we should be ok.  Storms make me nervous, but not as nervous as they used to make me.  I used to seriously freak out about storms.  I cannot continue watching Season 3 of Deadwood because I have to keep the tv on a local channel to track the freaking storm.  Edited to add:  right after I wrote this, the tv weatherman informed me that funnel clouds had been spotted, so I promptly freaked out, got Arwyn up from her nap and booked it down to my in-laws in my house slippers, where we stayed in the basement for three hours.  Yeah, storms don’t scare me a bit.

UPS is supposed to be delivering this to me today.  This is what I bought with part of our Christmas money. Woo hooooooooooooooo!!!!  I’ll let you know if it works as brilliantly as I hope it does.

I’ve been “researching” the raw food movement (diet? fad?) and am looking at juicers.  A mountain of books checked out from the library counts as research, doesn’t it?  RPMs, watts, horse power???  Geeze-oh-pete, I didn’t realize I was purchasing a car to extract my juice.

If I write something on my calendar or to-do-list, I will do it just so I can put a check beside it or cross it off.  My quasi-New Year’s resolution is to keep up with the house better.  If I write a house cleaning chore on each day, I will do it, even if this means mopping the floors at 9 pm.  It’s a sickness.
