I am tired....

Well, it's 8:30 and I am ready for bed. I am so tired tonight! I didn't do anything out of the ordinary today....I didn't even get to the dreaded ironing! We ended up having the stir-fry....which turned out very good. I added new ingrediants tonight, and the family liked it. I also decided to make a carrot cake. Now, before Karensull starts complaining about my "kitchen talk", let me say it was a box mix. Even I use shortcuts! (However, I did add freshly grated carrots, chopped raisins and a bit of crushed pineapple for that homemade taste....and I did make cream cheese frosting....yummy!)

I ended up going to the library today, and got three books. One on photography, one on parenting teens, and one funny book about life. I love going to the library, but it's kinda far from my house. But, they are building one that will be much closer and the kids and I are excited about that. At the library we go to, in the children's section, they have a huge Chinese dragon that hangs above the books (like the kind they use in parades). My dd is a little scared of it. She says, "What if that thing falls?" I have noticed that she never checks out books by authors with last names ending in F-J. 

 I've just been strolling along in "journal land", reading and laughing and generally relaxing. But now, I'm getting tired and think I might go to bed....maybe I'll start one of my books. So, until tomorrow my fellow journalists....goodnight, sleep-tight, and don't let the bed bugs bite!

I listened to your last audio entry yesterday, but I accidentally clicked off and got busy with something else. I loved it though. I really like when you say "buh bye". You sound so cute! Well, I also love the library, but haven't been in a while. My mom keeps giving me books to read. It'll take years to get through them. ~Melissa
