I didn't break any records

Well I have been slacking a lot with my blog lately. The sad thing is that I always think of things to write about but then never sit down and write them out. One of the topics I have been thinking about is that nice little list to the right --->
That is a list of books that I have read in the year 2010. Now I can't say that is an accurate list because I am sure there are books that I have forgotten to put and my reading journal will be no help because I have been slacking in writing in that as well (do you see a pattern?)Well as it is I read 34 books this year which is 1 less that last year. If you read this post you will see that I did not meet my goal. Now I think I do need to give myself some credit though because I planned a wedding, went on a honeymoon, moved, started a new job and have coached volleyball, softball and speech and debate in that time. While I wish I had more time to read, I think I do alright. I try to read a little before bed and once I get into the book I usually spend my evenings after dinner reading as well. I am already on book 2 for this year. Book 1 was Jodi Picoult's House Rules, a wonderful book of course, and now I am onto Nicholas Sparks' newest Safe Haven. I don't have a definite pick for the next one but have plenty on my book shelves to choose from!

What I could be doing

Well here I am sitting at home on our 3rd Snow Day. We had an early release yesterday which meant I was done at work at 12:30 and then got the call at about 9:30 last night that I did not need to go down the hill for work today. So I got to sleep in a little (8:00 a.m.) and laid in bed while reading the newest Nicholas Sparks book. I then ventured out into the rest of the house really craving some cinnamon and sugar toast only to find we have no bread. Ok well no breakfast. I watched a little tv and then decided to play some Sims Castaway on the Wii. After getting frustrated because I didn't know how to do what it was telling me to I stopped that and had some leftover Baked Spaghetti. And that brings you up to speed on my oh-so-exciting snow day. I am bored already. The bad thing? There is a list of things I could be doing but I really don't want to do them! Maybe if I write my list down it will encourage me to cross some things off, so here it is!

Clean the bathroom sink
Clean the shower
Sweep
Take out the flowers from Christmas
Dump the grease from last night
Scrapbook
Grade papers
Plan lessons for next week
Laundry
Read
Watch Tooth Fairy (my current Netflix movie)
Clean the office
Clean the spare bedroom

I am sure there is more but that is all I can think of at the moment! Now if I can just get motivated to start on the list!
