Busy Monday

Currently Reading: Finished Surprised by Desire last Friday, and was thrilled to see a similarity in the way I handled the issue and the way Katie presented it! Shows great minds think alike, and that we're on the same wavelength:) In about a month, I'll be reading Office Politics. I went through my list Friday night and decided what I'll be reading in the coming weeks:

One of Cindy Spencer Pape's Cowboy books. I'll have to see if they are in any particular order; The Christmas one is up first, but not sure if it's her first Cowboy one, or if they need to be read in any particular order! Suggestion, anyone?

Print Book: I'm on the second DS 9 Rebels book.

First of all, I was saddened by the passing of one of our great movie legends, Paul Newman. I 'fell in love' with him when I was first allowed to watch Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid on television. I also saw him in Absence of Malice, when we had to watch the film for a high school class (can't remember if it was psych or social studies!). I was too young to see The Sting in the movie theatre, and still haven't seen that film. Hmm...must correct that oversight.

I've got three more loads of laundry; I did 4 yesterday. But just as we were leaving for church, we got the call that my MIL was being sent to the hospital, to ward off another round of pneumonia. So after lunch, hubby and I headed over and spent an hour with her. She doesn't have pneumonia, but she has a lot of congestion. Don't know how long she'll have to stay.

I've already sent out an email reminder to my friends, family, and readers about my next two signings; now I need to go send out some personal ones to family and friends not on my electronic list! My hubby can't attend; he'll be out of town. And my teens will have to stay home with the toddler. But I'm hoping I have a few people show up!

My application for the artistic grant is due tomorrow, and I've just discovered my pictures don't have enough pixels. And when I downloaded the template the IAC sent, my pics have disappeared from my hard drive! So have to save them again and attempt to attach them. Hopefully everything will work this time!

Family Week?
As noted, last Wednesday, my SIL showed up for a visit, and my dad arrived on Thursday. Friday afternoon, I received a call from my nephew, wanting to know if I was going to be around later that evening! He arrived after the Homecoming Parade and took us out to dinner. Afterwards, we gathered up our swim suits and went swimming in his motel pool. His daughter, Joanna (I've been calling her Jodi) will be 2 years old in another month, and his wife, Tasha, is expecting their 3rd child any day now. So look for an announcement soon:)
