I need to go to bed....

...but I am feeling rather yucky tonight. I don't know if I am coming down with something or what my deal is but I am not feeling like myself. I think maybe it has to do with all the death that has been happening lately. Celebrities, people I know, people I didn't really know but knew of.....and now my grandfather has been in the hospital for the last few days and that stresses me out. I know he is old and everyone has to die, but seriously.... he's my grandfather and the only one I have ever known....I kinda like him & would like for him to stick around a little longer. He will be fine, I am sure, but I still worry.

On a brighter note, I had a great visit with my aunt and uncle that live in Round Rock on Friday afternoon. She brought me a carton full of old cookbooks and gardening books that I spent most of today perusing through. I found a lot of recipes that I can't wait to try...I'll post some of them and let you know how they turn out. I also finally got around to watching Over Her Dead Body with Eva Longoria Parker -- it actually made me laugh out loud. Paul Rudd is hilarious and has been one of my favs since he was Mike on Friends -- and who doesn't love Jason Biggs? :) Oooh & my sister and I watched Possession with Gwenyth Paltrow & Aaron Eckhart last night. One of my favs of all time...so good! Has anyone checked out Gwenyth's new blog Goop? I love it! It's all healthy & stuff -- I love her!

I have five weeks left until school officially starts. hmmmm....maybe be THAT'S why I feel yucky! In service begins in four and I really need to start getting my room situated before then. I have vowed to continue doing nothing until the second week of August. The first week my bff from high school will be here and we will do nothing together. It will be fun! I need to go see Papa but may have to wait until Labor Day weekend, which was when I planned on going to Austin for my birthday. I'll be 32 -- sigh! There's so much to do, so little money and God did not bless me with a decision making mechanism -- maybe that's why I feel yucky.... ?

Well, I have to go to bed now so I can get up and go to church tomorrow...good night blog! :)

Yay!!

I have finally given in and created a blog. Mainly, I will be using this as an outlet to do book reviews. However, I will probably post pictures of my kid and dog, rant and rave a little, talk about the trips I take and just random stuff. I will also share yummy recipes that I find or create -- thus the name Dishin' with Dani. Hopefully, with school about to start up I will still have time to blog! :)
