I am inspired to scrapbook this weekend. I hope I can take some time to myself and scrapbook. I have been reading many sites:

Ali Edwards: http://aliedwards.typepad.com/_a_/

The Scrapbook Zone: http://thescrapbookzone.com/

Creating Keepsakes: http://www.creatingkeepsakes.com/

Scrapbook Trends: http://www.scrapbooktrendsmag.com/

I have been reading the sites as well as the last two's magazine's. I read them when Katie is asleep, the dogs are quiet and my husband is doing his own thing. I go into the bath, light a candle, put on some XM Radio, and just soak while I read my favorite magazines from cover to cover. It makes me want to go home and scrapbook right now! And tonight, maybe I will once Katie is in bed.

I have also discovered NetLibrary.com through a friend and through my local library. So, while at work I can listen to some books I have been meaning to read but having found the time. It is getting annoying to have to pause every time a colleague comes by, but that is life! Right now I am "reading" Mercy by Jodi Piccoult. I have enjoyed all of her books so far that I have read, so this one should also be enjoyable.

I have a fever that just won't go away. It makes me cold, freezing, then sweat when it breaks. I want to be in bed, sleeping it off, but I really do not want to take a day off work so soon in the year, especially when we have Monday off.

Sunday we are going to in-law's house to play games as we have done, it seems, the past few weekends if we are free. We enjoy playing board games together. In-law parents will take Katie and we will go to brother in laws house for games.

I wish it wasn't so dreary outside, I would go out and take photos, but just doesn't seem right... so I will post one of my faves for today.
