Not too much blog-worthy going on around here, but I thought I’d do a short set of bullets:
We’re staying busy with TV shows at night. We have given up on one show, Amazing Race. I hate to stop mid-season, but with Rob and Amber out, I really don’t like any of the teams left. Well, scratch that, I like Joyce and Uchenna, but they’ve won before and I have a hard time rooting for someone who has won a million dollars before. On Monday, Dancing with the Stars returned, which is wonderful. Some good and bad dancers, so lots of fun to watch. We’re watching Idol still, and rooting for our favorites (mine include Jordin Sparks, Melinda Doolittle, Chris Sligh and Phil Stacey). Then, there’s all of the “regular” shows we watch like Battlestar Galactica, 24 (plus Tim watches Prison Break), NCIS, The Unit, Bones, Lost, Survivor, CSI, Shark, etc. Whew, we’re definitely TV addicts.
I got a card in the mail on the Nabisco offer that I submitted a couple of months ago. If you remember, I had asked here about getting those “Rachael Ray cookbook points” from specially marked Nabisco cracker and cookie boxes. Everyone was so sweet and sent me a lot of points. I had enough to get not only a cookbook for me, but one for my sister Gail as well. They cashed my check I mailed with my order form over a month ago. I’ve been trying to wait patiently for my cookbook. Then, a couple of days ago, I get a card that said: We wish to inform you that there will be a delay in the shipment of your order. Our supplier has assured us that the additional stock will be received shortly. Every attempt will be made to ship your order by — May 4, 2007. Then, I can detach the card and mail back if I would rather have a refund and not wait on the cookbook. I think I’m going to try to wait it out – would you wait or just get a refund?
My sister Gail came yesterday, and we went shopping and hung out all afternoon. Lunch was at Chick-Fil-A (Gail let me pick!) Love their chicken sandwiches and diet lemonade and I love that I can get fruit instead of fries. I feel like I’m eating better 😀 We bought stuff to make an Easter wreath for my door and Gail helped me put it all together. She did the bow, which was wonderful. I can’t tie a bow to save my life. Heck, I can barely tie my shoes! I just posted a photo of my new wreath over at my Project365 blog. Check it out here 
Tim and I are trying to walk more this week. I am so glad he’s willing to go with me. He hits golf balls every afternoon, so we’re trying to walk in the mornings. I’m also trying to wear my pedometer and get my 10,000 steps a day. So far, so good. Let’s hope it lasts longer than just this week!
I don’t quite know why I feel like I’m behind with everything. With cleaning and chores around the house, with reading blogs, my email, blogging here, reading my books and magazines, reading the newspaper, running errands. Which is bad, because I need to get ahead and stay ahead. We have a lot going on in April and May. I don’t think I’m that far behind, but it sure feels like it. You’d think I would be getting more done with this lovely daylight savings time we have now. After all, it ‘s light a lot later. But, I still feel behind. With everything.
So, how about you? Anything exciting going on in your world? 🙂 Have a great day!

Love the wreath!!! Not much exciting going on around here! So glad Spring has sprung and hope to enjoy the warm weather this weekend. We didn’t make it to the zoo this past weekend cause it was freezing, but we’re going to try to get there this weekend. Not much other than that, but thanks for asking! 🙂 Hope you are enjoying the 1st day of Spring!!!
Ok when I read the first part that said “nothing blog worthy going on”, I almost hollered at you that what was I! chopped liver! I’m glad it got mentioned that I came, your favorite frequent house guest! Or maybe that’s it, I’ve worn out my welcome so I’m further down the list of blog worthy things, lol!
Going to check out the wreath, and you can tie a bow if you try, all you have to do is use that wired ribbon like I said! 🙂
Well, you sound very very busy. Good luck catching up. I just live in the world of being behind 🙂
I’d hold out and wait on the cookbooks. They will be really good and probably worth the wait.
Aha! I knew there would be eating & shopping between you two! 😀
I’m glad you had fun, and I enjoy reading all your little tidbits of info here.
I hope you can get ahead; that’s a stressful feeling!
I think you should wait it out…you know you want that book!
My favorites on Idol are now Jordin, Melinda, and Blake!
Love Chik-Fil-A! 🙂
I’m feeling the same way – behind and more behind. I feel like I’m swimming but barely keeping my head above water!LOL I went crazy and took two college classes this 8 weeks – yikes! One is online but the other is two nights a week in class. Hope with both get caught up soon!
Hi Stacy!
Gail did a most EXCELLENT job on that bow! I’m with you, my bows look like something ran over it. lol The wreath is very festive and pretty! Good job!
GOOD FOR YOU AND TIM on the walking bit!!!!! I’m a huge advocate of walking and I’m so glad to hear you guys are exercising. You mentioned wanting to eat right – I guarantee if you continue walking, you’ll see the results and that will transfer to you WANTING to eat right.
Nothing much going on here. I highlight my week in tomorrow’s Thursday Thirteen. I am going to head over to Laura’s Org Junkie and browse some recipes. I’m in that cook the same old crap routine. lol I’m SO glad I saw that meme on your blog – I NEEDED to spice (pun intended) things up around here.
Have a great evening! *wave*
Wait on the cook book. Who knows, it would probably take them longer to get your return to you than it would to send the cook book to you! I am so behind that I don’t know what it is like to NOT be behind. It is very stressful for someone as organized….uh….OCD as myself. Ugh!
thats great stuff to blog about..Since MIchael works for Chik Fil A, we are proud that you stopped there..nice blogging
Thanks for visiting my reading list! I don’t have much time to visit tonight (we just got in from a trip), but I am going to come back tomorrow and browse around! Have a good evening!
Hi Stacy! Before I forget to answer your question. I’d wait for the Rachel Ray cookbook. It will be worth the wait.
My week is going well, just a little busier with my husband in LA again (Louisiana, that is). I have posted my reading list for Spring. This is my first attempt at doing a to be read list; we’ll see how it goes.
You mean you don’t watch Prison Break wth Tim?! Oh, you’re missing out on the pretty, angsty men! 🙂
I’d probably wait for the book. Early May’s not that far away, you know. It’s nearly April already!
Go you and your pedometer! I’m still at a loss as to how people get in 10,000 steps. The most I’ve managed are 3,100. 😉
Join the behind-in-everything-including-life club. I’m going to have to dial back my online time for a while just to get some stuff done.
Hey girl! Loved the wreath – I need to get some spring stuff out. I was excited to see my old heart throb, Billy Ray Cyrus, on Dancing with the Stars; I need to make it a point to watch that now!
Hope you’re doing well. Sorry about the cookbook – since it was basically free, I would just wait for it. I hate when something’s backordered though.
Take care!!!
Sounds like a nice week and the wreath is beautiful!
That is a very nice wreath–I want to make one myself–as I told your sister. Have a wonderful weekend.
