Cleaning, Reading and Cleaning Some More

That's what today's schedule consists of.  At some point, I plan on dusting, sweeping, vacuuming, mopping, washing windows, doing laundry, cleaning the kitchen and bathroom and during all of that, I will take breaks to play with Lauryn and read my book :)  We have no other plans today so everything will get done in my own sweet time.  The kitchen sink needs a scrubbing badly.  It's clean but we have hard water and that makes it look gross.  Time to tackle it with some Comet.  I'm not a fan of using abrasives but Comet does the job nicely.

I am reading James Patterson's Alex Cross series right now.  I was never into detective-type books but I read one a while back and loved it.  I looked into the series and found that there are 17 of them so far.  I've read seven of them so far!  I plan to read his Women's Murder Club series when I'm done.

Reading

I LOVE to read!  When Lauryn was a little younger, I felt like I wasn't able to pick up a book and read more than a page before she needed something.  Now I'm able to read chapters before she needs me.  I'm so glad to be able to finish books again :)  I recently read a book called Mary, Mary by James Patterson.  A friend loaned it to me and I really liked it.  Then a couple of weeks later I picked up Cat & Mouse by him.  I didn't realize there was a whole series of books by that author, based on the main character, Alex Cross.  Since I really liked the two books I read, I decided to go back to the beginning and read them all.  I'm almost halfway through Along  Came A Spider, which I saw the movie but don't remember much of, and I'm really enjoying learning about the beginning of Alex Cross.  There are 17 books in the series so far and I intend on reading all of them.

I recently wrote about needing cables and I think we need to buy hdmi cables.  I think that will improve our reception and some of our other issues.  I don't know much about these things so Lloyd will have to help me figure it out :)
