Then I picked out 3 things that I'm going to focus on right now.

3 Things To Do

1. Read Gone With the Wind

2. Buy a coloring book and start coloring in it

3. Pick pictures for my wedding album

    I already started Gone with the Wind--twice.  So after I finish reading Pride and Prejudice, I'm going to finish Gone with the Wind.  I already got it out of the library!  It's sitting right next to me!  I will not return it again without having finished it!  

    






    The next step is for me to pick up a coloring book the next time I'm out.  I'm going to keep it at school so that I can color when the kids are coloring.  That should give me a little time to relax instead of running around and doing extra work.  Plus, sometimes when I color it interests the other kids in coloring and then it makes things much quieter. 

    The wedding pictures thing I'm going to start working on...right now.  God, I'm such a procrastinator! I've been married since May and had the pictures since like July!  It's JANUARY!  I need to pick about 60 pictures and I've already gone through them a ton of times, I just need to figure out what will make the final cut I guess.  I think I'm going to go through the ones that are a definite NO first and that'll narrow down the field a little.  I know the one to the left is a definite yes.  Oh, and if you're in the NY tri-state area, I highly recommend Jason Rhee.  I think I'm going to have a really hard time eliminating pictures because he took such awesome pictures!
