Currently

I've been wanting to blog, but have been having trouble finding something I can really sit and write about.  I'm still here.  I'm just tired.  It's a crazy time of year in my family.  August and September are two big birthday months, and it just seems like everything is going to happen all at the same time.  Since I'm brain dead I thought I'd do a currently post.  Without further ado...

Doing:  Watching some recorded tv, sipping wine, looking at converse and giggling with my husband about how many pairs of converse we actually need.  (The answer is there there is no set number, we need all the shoes)

Thinking about:  The crazy months ahead.  This month is fully of birthdays, as is next month.  We have gifts bought, and plans made, but there is still this crazy feeling.  It's not a bad thing, being busy helps make the hot time of year go by a little bit faster.

Watching:  One of our favorite summer time programs is So You Think You Can Dance-it it is on its 11th season right now and just as exciting as the first!  We've also been watching some Master Chef, and The Strain.  In between all of that we have been marathoning CSI: Miami.  I had no idea there were 10 seasons of that show.  We are in season 4 now.

Looking forward to:  Wednesday and Sunday.  We get to see my sister and the kids tomorrow!  We also get to give our nephew his birthday gift-I hope he is as excited as we are!  Then Sunday we get to see them again for our niece's birthday!  They are such amazing kids.  Sweet and shy, and I love them to pieces!

Reading:  I just finished re-reading the Cousin's War and the Tudor Series by Philippa Gregory.  I'm currently re-reading the Sookie Stackhouse Series by Charlaine Harris.  Once I get all that out of my system I have some new books to read that I'm looking forward to, like the new Harry Dresden book, Skin Games.

Loving:  My husband, of course.  But also some wine, from Revelry.  We've had the Merlot (yes, I like fucking Merlot-and anyone who has watched Sideways will get that), and the Cabernet Sauvignon and have enjoyed both very much.

I think that's about it for now.  I hope everyone else is doing well and enjoying what is left of the summer!
