I've been staring at my monitor for ages and can't come up with anything remotely interesting or coherent. I will take the lazy way out and resort to a list of things that have been on my mind lately:

1. Back to school- I've not shopped for anything except a backpack.

2. Another summer is gone and once again we did not get to take our First Ever Family Vacation.

3. Babies.

4. My training and fund raising for the Breast Cancer 3 Day are no where near on track.

5. My trip to Minnesota- I'm looking forward to meeting everyone and am geeked out at the idea of seeing the Betty Crocker test kitchen.

6. School starts in two weeks! I'm having a friend over for mimosas after we drop the kids off.

7. Going back to work.

8. What I see as the "future" of this blog and "where" I want it go.

9. I 'marked all as read' in my reader Saturday night and I feel so guilty.

10. Getting Phil back in school.

What's on your mind today?

Coming Attractions

For the past few weeks. I've been in a blogging funk. (Here's the part where you say, Really? I hadn't noticed!).

I've sat in front of the computer with nothing original coming to mind and said ah, screw it.

Hopefully having some quiet time will help and if nothing else I can use a distraction from missing my baby.

Here are a few things I've written in my notebook that I hope to get to soon:
1. The fall TV and movie schedules and how I'd love to be a couch potato. 2. Cascade vs. Electrasol
3. Adding to my reading list and the books I've purchased recently (I think it's becoming an addiction. I just can't stop!).
4. My adopted soldier and how I'll need your help (it will only cost you a stamp).
5. The 10 Things About Me meme Steph tagged me for.

Very ambitious, I know.

Brain Cells Not Firing

Because I have absolutely nothing interesting to say, here's what I put on my iPod today. If you have any 'shake that booty' music to add, please leave it in the comments. I love having great music in my playlist for my walking or housecleaning!
