A week from tonight I will be laid up in the hospital. I'm so excited to have this done and feel better! I've been and plan on cleaning and organizing every inch of my home before then so I don't try to clean while home. I do plan to get some "fun" things done while laid up though. One thing I don't do is take time to do the little things. Grant and I are lazy tv watchers. So the following is a list of things I want to get done while laid up. Hopefully having this down in print will make me stick to it!
* Read Books: I have my Glenn Beck book, 3 new Mother Theresa books and 3 unread Max Lucado books. I very rarely take the time to read. One big reason is it really makes me sleepy instantly....it's a natural sleeping aid.
* Make a new cookbook: My cousin Tricia is coming the weekend after my surgery and she suggested it and I think she's on to something! We are going to devise recipes with the what seems like so little I can eat. I also would like to put together a cookbook of recipes I love for others.
*Work on my dream book: I haven't done this in FOREVER! I need to dream and have a guide to what I want in life. My big goal right now is getting out of retail by the end of the year. I need to visualize that and plan out my journey to the success in that goal.
*Scrapbook: Holy man do I have pictures up the wazoo that need to be scrapbooked! I haven't sat down and taken the time to do this either for such a long time. I want to get to the point where I never have pictures sitting out of a beautiful scrapbooked page. Within a week of taking pics, I scrapbook them. This is a goal thats going to be difficult but attainable.
*Make a birthday/Anniversary book: I want to be better at sending out cards...ON TIME! My poor little neices and nephews hardly ever see their birthday gifts within a month of their birthday! If your reading this PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE give me your birthday and anniversary. Even if I see you once a year I want it!
*Organize my craft book: I have a binder of torn out pages to crafts and projects I would love to do. I want to organize this and again by years end have a monthly craft day. I would love to have a second one in a month for kids craft day as well. If either one is something you reading this would love to get involved in let me know!
*Watch suggested movies: Grant's friend Scott suggested some must see movies for me and I need to work on that list. Grant also wants to make me a list. If you the reader have any good movie suggestions let me know. I will say I"m not into high action packed films or far out there alien films as well. I like quirky though;)
I think this is the end of the list. Wish me luck and I'll keep you updated on my progress. AGAIN, I'm laid up for 3 weeks so if anyone would like to join me in any of these little plans or just to stop and visit come on by!

Well I will certainly add you to the kids nightly prayer list. I hope everything goes as smoothly as possible. I like the sound of your recovery play. Speedy healing and good feeling days are heading your way!! Let me know if you need any of our bday's.... Are you coming to the picnic this summer at the lake?
I know yours but if I could have the rest of your family's and your anniversary date that would be swell! When is the picnic? We have two things going on in June already and one thing in July. Amber may also be attending a week of church camp as well.
