Friday's Favorites Fare

READING:  What If? edited by Robert Cowley...What if...827 pages of speculations such as (but not limited to) ...Pontius Pilate hadn't ordered the crucifixion of Christ...Abraham Lincoln hadn't abolished slavery...a Confederate aide hadn't accidentally lost General Lee's plans for invading the North...The Allied invasion of D Day had failed...the Mongols had succeeded in conquering Europe...etc.  by various illustrious historians.  You get the drift...a fun way to end/start the New Year. 

LISTENING TO:  CATS...I never get tired of it.  

COOKING BYTES:  For Christmas I got the new Ellie Krieger book So Easy: Luscious Healthy Recipes for Every Meal of the Week and I am thinking of cooking All Ellie All The Time for a couple of weeks at least!

FAV NEW FIND:  I actually have a New Year's Resolution this year.  Was going around the house the other day thinking, "I should use this more often.  I should wear this more often.  I should get this out and enjoy it more often," so I am resolving to try to buy NOTHING new for myself all year and enjoy, use, and wear what I already own.  Looking forward to it actually.    

FAV THING THIS WEEK:  All the extra time with my family around...just enjoying the day-to-day with husband and kids.  

GOING TO:  Enjoy the weekend just hanging around...okay, you caught me, I might, just might, go back and see the Sacred Spain exhibit one more time before they dismantle after Sunday.  You know, every time you see an exhibit, you notice something you missed the previous times.  It won't ever be back you know.  It's FREE, the parking is FREE, the entry into the IMA is FREE, so there really is no reason not to go one more time.  I figured you would see my point eventually.

PRAYING FOR:  A Happy, Healthy, and Enjoyable 2010, please join me.
