another goal
I love HCLIB's Museum Adventure Pass program. I mean, what's not to love? Free admission for you and a friend, just for checking out a pass at your local library. The branch I frequent nearly always has all the passes available even the super coveted MN Zoo ones. But sadly, the program is ending in a year. So, I'm going to try and go to all the museum before Labor Day next year and take full advantage of the program. Hold me to it!

So, apparently I've given in. I'm seeing E tonight. I miss her, and although she didn't know exactly what was wrong, she's intuitive enough to know what she messed up and apologized. She may get sucked into her own world, but she's been there for me. I can appreciate that. And truly, you can never have too many friends (except maybe on facebook).
I activated my Nice Ride subscription today, and I'm eager to take it for a spin. It's such a beautiful day today, I think I overdressed by wearing a sweater.
October is looming, so I brought some truffles to church on Sunday, hoping to bring in some business. I should let Beth know I came up with my list of truffles too. And maybe send a note out on FB, letting people know. I want this holiday season to go well.
I finished Eclipse today, and read Jean Chatzky's Pay It Down. I've been kinda slacking on my reading, and although that wasn't officially on my list, it should hopefully push the totals in my favor.
I need to get my financial house back in automatic-saving order. I have $2000+ in my checking account (yay!), but I think a lot of it is untransferred savings, so I'm afraid to spend much of it. Must do before end of week.
Also, looking at taking some pictures this week. There's a tree outside my window at work that keeps calling my name.
Today, I'm grateful that my opinions of people rarely stay static.

Shows I'm attempting to watch this year
Modern Family
The Office
Whitney
2 Broke Girls
The Sing-Off (at least as long as Sonos lasts)
HIMYM
This list represents approximately 600% more shows than I've followed since the end of Gilmore Girls. Crazy.

I always struggle when people ask me what kind of books I like to read. Good ones? I think to myself. Are there any other kind?
So I found it interesting when I logged into goodreads today and noticed that, without any input from me, they had found actually several categories of books I like. Whodda thunk? They include: biography, chick lit, contemporary, crime and memoir. Ok so, I could have told you about memoirs and chick lit. I can't count the number of books I've read that are "a day in the life of . . ." So many infact, that I've figured I must have one I could come up with. A day in the life of a call center rep? A barista? truffle-entrepreneur? Hmm.
The one that really stuck out to me was crime. My mother has always loved mysteries. So naturally, I avoided them like the plague. I think it was because she always tried to figure it out whodunnit before it was revealed, whereas I just followed along the story. This discrepancy made me think I was somehow doing it wrong, and shunned them all, including Nancy Drew. But as it turns out, I've read a few in recent years. What with the Dragon Tattoo series, and the Spellmans, I apparently have a whole new appreciation.
