READING: The Tea Shop Mysteries by Laura Childs. Something just a little fun and light to read as it has been that kind of week! I am learning a lot about tea, too.
LISTENING TO: All Def All Day
COOKING BYTES: Definitely going to be the year of bread around here as I am finding that I love baking bread, it could be that I will need to locate people who would like to have the extras as I am baking so much of it, so far the guys can keep up, but almost every day I think to myself, "What kind of bread can I make today?" I might be becoming a bit compulsive about it. Compulsive, me??? Just maybe.
FAV NEW FIND: Matt can actually swim a decent butterfly! Who knew? Not us, that's for sure. For years he looked like a drowning moth out there trying to swim that swim. His strokes are the freestyle and the backstroke and he looks good doing those, yes, he does. But the butterfly? Not so much. Until now. At the swim meet this week his coach put swimmers in events that they don't usually swim and Matt swam the 100 butterfly. He took first place, took two seconds off his previous time, and now has the second best butterfly time on the high school team, second only to his good buddy Mike, and he looked good doing it. Yep, that's definitely a favorite new find!
FAV THING THIS WEEK: Well, I can think of a couple of things that were not my favorite things this week, but I like to keep things upbeat around here, so let me think a moment. Oh, I know: IU almost, yes, almost, beat Purdue last night, who happens to be ranked something like 8th in the nation right now. The baby Hoos played a full two halves of the game and put forth, I think, their best performance of the whole year so far. It came down to the last shot, yep, the very last shot in the very last second. Things are looking up, definitely a fun thing to see.
GOING TO: Watch a lot of ball games, that I know for sure, especially a little thing the Colts are in called The Super Bowl, have you heard of it? High school girls sectionals for swimming are this weekend, so we work, we watch, we cheer, we spend a lot of time at the pool. Cooking/baking/reading/enjoying family time about covers the rest.

PRAYING FOR: An early spring, I know that is terribly selfish and all, but I am really really tired of winter and I haven't been able to get away this winter, so an early spring would be really really nice, please join me!
