Reading // Still reading The Happiness Project and just started The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-time Indian. Both are good reads, but as is typical these days, trying to find the time to read is difficult. I may have to write a post on this issue by the way as I got rather testy when someone suggested I just wasn't making reading a priority and that having the time to read was merely a matter of choice. This person obviously does not have two children, a full time job, and a farming husband. Or perhaps she does not need sleep. Anyway, as I said, I may need to write a post.

Blogging // My blogging is really booming currently as I'm pretty far prepped out with Medieval Mondays and Top 10 Tuesdays. I'm feeling pretty good, but I'm thinking I should probably do some reading and maybe review a book or two just to maintain my book blog status.

Watching // Numb3rs. I loved this show the first time around, and I'm still in love with it. I'm watching it every chance I get to the exclusion of every other show. For those not in the know, Numb3rs is a show about two brothers: one an FBI agent and one a math genius. It's action packed. It's geeky. It's awesome.

Learning // Along with my Medieval Lit course, I am taking Foundations of Educational Technology through the University of St. Francis. Designed to familiarize students with various software and online programs suitable for student learning, the course is highly relevant for me as I teach all hybrid and online courses. The only problem I'm running into is that the other students in the class all teach grade school or high school and as such most of their suggestions are not easily adaptable to college level courses. But we are only in week 2 so I do have high hopes for the remaining 6 weeks.

Hating // My bad luck. I bought a Fitbit, and I was loving it, and then I got a rash. Now, no Fitbit.

Avoiding // Writing my final research paper for my Medieval Literature course. I decided to explore the two roles of women - mediator and mischief-maker - but I'm finding my exploration rather tedious as it primarily consists of saying the same thing about multiple female characters. I need to find a hook that gets my juices flowing.

Wishing // I could find some motivation to work out. I was going strong for about three weeks, but I am already in a serious rut.

Loving // Aren't my little lovelies adorable? C-Bug and Goose
