Been off the computer most of the day...Going to port this blog over to Wordpress tomorrow. Hopefully I don't lose it in the meantime!

Just looked out the window and thought it was MUCH later. Do not like this getting dark early thing!! Makes me sleepy. Think it will be a trip to Starbucks so can stay awake to drive to the movie tonight :-)

Making a quick post from my phone. I am in the dark (from the Internet world) for a variety of reasons today. Wish I could say for productive reasons but not really.
I missed you, Twitter! And bloggy visiting...hopefully tomorrow will be back!
(did get my thirty minutes in today! So that is a good thing!!)

I bought the tickets for this movie already! The plan is to go on Thursday night at 12:01am for the first showing. I am (almost) more excited then the boys. Still haven't started reading the 3rd book yet...

Woke up this morning feeling AWFUL...total migraine day...but so much to do and so many people counting on me. Sent out a quick tweet asking for prayers and got out of bed...
The prayers were so appreciated and WORKED. Headache left after about an hour.
Spent the day cooking like crazy!
I ended up with enough food to serve 60 people! And I am not kidding....There was enough leftovers to serve another whole meal!!
The food....great....The gratitude....beyond words.
It is a tradition at this "Thanksgiving Meal" to go around the room and say what each person is thankful for. It is always an incredible moment...and I am always left crying and without words to say. I am always the 'last' to talk. That one moment means more me than any other day.
Now I am tired...busy, incredible, emotional day. The kind that make your realize why to get up each morning.

So totally gave up on my 4-week challenge after like 4-days....SO have decided to START OVER. The goal--for 4-weeks do 5-days of 30-minute exercise (any kind)!
I have a lot of options...love the walk/running in the outdoors (even though it is getting cold--I have a cool beanie and some great UnderArmor stuff); or we have an indoor track (boring going in circles); or we have an elliptical machine (that thing is a lot harder than it looks although suppose to be better for your joints); or an indoor swimming pool; or Jillian Michael DVD; or just general 'make-my-own' exercise.
SO am recommitting to actually taken the time (the real issue) to complete:

Borrowed this cute quiz from my bloggy friend 2TooManyHats....
| You Are a Cinnamon Latte |
![]() You may have a spicy attitude, but you're all sweetness on the inside. You are dependable and loyal. You have you life together, and you're able to be there for other people. You like nothing more than a warm, cozy house filled with friends and loved ones. |

It has been forever since I read for pure pleasure....not that I don't find academic reading pleasurable...but it has been literally years since I have read a book 'just because'...
One: because I place this sense of guilt on myself that if I am not reading for devotions, homeschooling, or my dissertation, I ought not be spending time reading at all.
Two: because I know I get "obsessed" to the point where I cannot put the book down and NOTHING else in my world is accomplished (including homeschooling and even twittering :-) )
BUT I just knew I had to read Twilight.
One: because #GNO on twitter last week was dedicated to it. After having my first #GNO experience on election night, I knew the book must be amazing for so many women to twitter about it for hours as the election experience was so cool.
Two: because a lot of my teens have read it and love finding new things to discuss and talk about.
Three: The movie is coming out on 11/21 and is the #1 priority for above-mentioned teens (and I hate movies before books).
So I have been reading....late into last night, and all day today...and I have to say...Reading Rocks! I forgot it could be so fun!!
But stopped to put in this post for NaBloPoMo (as tonight promises to busy and crazy--tomorrow's blog)..and to take an the quiz to find out which character I am like:

Take the Quiz and Share Your Results!
Listen to Esme description (so much like me it is scary):
