This Pretty Much Sums Up My Weekend

So the boys are away this weekend and with Colin working yesterday, it was a girls' day for Juliet and me. Yay! I was wringing my hands with excitement. I went to Starbucks to read my Us Weekly (that's confession number one - I can't believe I read that garbage), eat lunch and drink a latte luxuriously. No one even poked their germy hands into Juliet's car seat! I then went to the library to pick up two audiobooks which I won't be listening to because the narrator's voice was all wrong for the story (confession number two: one book was John Grisham's "Bleachers" - who reads John Grisham anymore?). After that I made a compulsive trip to Barnes and Noble and purchased "A Joy in the Morning" by Betty Smith and "Scarlett" (the sequel to "Gone with the Wind"). The remaining time yesterday I actually spent scrapbooking (confession number three: I am a closet scrapbooker. I love it.) I have completed two layouts because I am determined to provide my kiddos with baby books and scrapbooks for them to see what a wonderful childhood they had. Here's what our kitchen table now looks like: And here is Juliet playing yesterday in her little baby gym. She's getting very strong, however Colin is sick with a cold now and unfortunately we will have to see just how strong she is. Hopefully this doesn't end with a trip to the hospital again.
Confession number four: I just hastily ran to Redbox to pick up a copy of "Twilight" just to see what all the fuss is about. I haven't read the books, but I do have a mild curiosity how this series has created such a cultural phenomenon.
Fifth and final confession: I listened to "Rock the Casbah" on my iPod while I put makeup on today.
That's all the confessions I have for now - feel free to share yours so I don't feel like such a geek.

Oh, I wish you could/would read the book before watching the movie...the character & story development are vital and the movie just doesn't have enough time to fit it all in.

Also, Jul looks so sweet (as always)!

love it! That sounds like a perfect day for me, too. Ahh- sweet tiny baby girl. (Hope she stomps on Colin's cold!)
Let me know how "twilight" turns out, I too wonder what the fuss is about, and have considered adding it to our netflix "queue" but thought Matt would think I was crazy. it's a vampire movie, isn't it? hm... The picture of your table is great, by the way! I hope to be scrapbooking soon.... with all the "we're probably moving" business my "craft night" idea has been put on hold!!
