This would normally be a wonderful thing, except that while he's here I feel like we're on vacation and so I haven't been doing much of anything. I don't think I'm supposed to do anything for a few weeks while I'm recovering, but I hate sitting around being idle. One or two days - lovely. Three weeks makes me feel like a slovenly sloth.
While I'm home, I'd like to:
- clean both bathrooms well
- finish the boys' room (and take pictures)
- take The Boy to the playground or to do something fun at least once a week
- attempt to potty-train The Boy
- take good pictures of Turtle and Turtle and The Boy
- find a place that sells the Kindle and can give me a demonstration so I can think hard about whether I want one
- read one book a week (average - I usually read more than that in a week, but then I'll go a week without reading at all)
- watch five movies total that I want to see that Hubby doesn't
- start working out on the Wii Fit a few times a week (and maybe see if The Boy wants to join in)
- go for a walk at least three times a week
This list might be a little overboard, but I'd rather have it out there and hopefully finish than just sit around for the next two months aimlessly.

I really like my Kindle, but I realize it's not for everyone. Big, bulky books annoy me, but paperbacks are still enjoyable. Maybe big, bulky hardbacks were always a little annoying.
Another book you might like is Fallen by Lauren Kate.
I can't get one movie in within a week, much less five. I did watch Vanity Fair last night, which was okay. And I have The Wind in the Barely to watch, but haven't yet. I'm probably the best kind of customer for Netflix. Somehow despite best intentions I keep movies for 3-4 weeks.
I just finished the second succubus book. It was good, although I think I liked the first better. I think I might take a break for another book before continuing, but I'm enjoying the series.
I don't like mass-market paperbacks - they annoy me :) I always go for the trade paperbacks, which are about the size of a Kindle anyhow :)
The five movies is for the whole time - approximately 1 every 2 weeks. And I have a serious addiction to cheesy girlie movies that my husband would rather be stabbed with a blunt instrument than watch. Like last night I watched Summer Catch (Freddy Prinze Jr and Jessica Beal) which he would never ever watch. And it was crappy, but I enjoyed it :) But it doesn't count because I'm not counting that stuff until next week :)
