A pause in catching up with the rambles to bring you the second week of linking up with ...

Reading. Lots! Among my rambling posts-to-finish include a post on how I get emotionally involved in my literature, but right now I'm reading "The Happiness Project" and "The Hunger Games." Tim and I saw "The Hunger Games" movie on a recent date night, so I'm not tearing through the book - I already know what happens. I have to be in the right (self-improving) mood to read "The Happiness Project," so it has been slightly slower going. I also just finished Kelle Hampton's "Bloom." I really liked it - I felt it was extremely well-edited and loved all of the photos and raw emotion in it.

Loving. My health. Elle and I have been sick this week, and on Wednesday I thought I was going to die. I actually ended up on the bathroom floor in the afternoon, first sweating, then shivering, and I didn't think I'd ever feel better again. She and I are both doing better, thankfully, but it was not a fun week.  

Eating. Yummy stuff! Wednesday's illness left me with no appetite, but I baked last weekend and this weekend, and I've been trying a few new recipes for dinner, too. The two biggest successes so far? Peanut butter chocolate bars and cake batter blondies. Mmmmm ...

Drinking. Wine. Chardonnay, to be exact. It was a rough afternoon/evening with the toddler, and I spent a lot of time on the computer working on some designs today, so I felt it would be a good beverage of choice. Other than that? The Death Illness left me with little interest in caffeinated beverages, which is good because I was kind of drinking too much before that. But I have been enjoying a cup of Butter Toffee or Wild Blueberry coffee each day. So. Good.

Looking forward to. A normal week. With Elle and I being sick last week, things were hectic. Missing a day of work left the rest of the week a little frantic there, too. I'm hoping for less stress, less sickness and lots of laughter and rest this week.
