Tids-N-Bits

Gee, what's going on with me? Oh, not much:

I started reading "Twilight" Saturday night. Zander was a little gem on Sunday so I got more reading in than I thought I would. I'm more than halfway through now and its pretty good. Its a nice easy read....which is good considering I get interrupted a lot. Zander and the animals just would not go feed themselves....geez!

I have a feeling though that when the movie comes out I'm going to be disappointed. The guy that is playing Edward in the movie looks nothing like how I pictured Edward in my mind. And same with the girl playing Bella. Oh well....I will try to keep an open mind! The books are always better than the movies anyway.

The same thing with Harry Potter. The movies are good, but they are always a letdown from the books.....and they keep getting worse. I still can't wait for the next one though.

I've worried about Anakin all weekend. He really wasn't doing that much better as of yesterday. When I took him outside yesterday, there was a bunny in the yard. I could tell Anakin was in pain because he just looked at the bunny and slowly hobbled in the other direction. Not that I like him chasing bunnies...but I know he likes to do it so it broke my heart to know

he felt so bad he couldn't do it. So, I told him (yes, I talk to my dog) that if he

wasn't 80% better by today, then I would take him to the vet.

(Because you know he knows what 80% means)

Well, today I took Anakin outside and there was a bunny in the yard....and he chased it! Now, he wasn't as fast as usual, but at least I knew he felt better today! So, then of course I had to tell him to quit running so he didn't reinjure himself.....

I finished making another fleece 'tie' quilt this weekend. This one is for my Aunt Mary. Her birthday was July 25th...so I'm a bit late. She is having surgery today so she will be laying around the next couple of weeks. So, I wanted to be sure to get it to her for her recovery. I know.....its July and these types are quilts are HOT! But she is like me and is usually always cold (you know, at least when your AC is working).

For those who commented about the fact that Zander goes to bed at 10:00 PM......yeah, its kind of late. However, he's really not tired any earlier. He's not one of those kids that you can lay in his bed when he's awake and he'll lay there til he goes to sleep. He would scream bloody murder. Its just easier for me to try and do all the things I need to do before he goes to bed. Then he goes to bed with me. Hopefully, he drifts off to sleep before I do and then I can either get on the internet for a little while, or read a book.

Saturday when he went to bed so early (see previous post) he was sleeping in his bed - which I am not used to at all. I swear I checked on him about 20 times before I went to bed. I might as well have put him in my bed for as many times as I got up. He eventually woke up at about 3:30 AM soaking wet.....so I changed his diaper and put him in my bed. He laid there and talked to himself until about 4:45 AM. (sigh) But then he slept until 8:00 AM. Interrupted sleep is rough though....

So,I'm just working today and I'll watch Big Brother that I tivo'd last night.

I guess not much else is going on.....except.....

OH, I'M FEATURED ON SITS TODAY!!!!

WooooHoooo!!!!
