The weather in my neck of the woods:

Things that make me happy:
Hot tea
Fresh Flowers
Fresh fruit
The company of like-minded folk
On my kindle:
Ascend, the third book in Amanda Hocking's Trylle trilogy. Overall, I like the idea of her books (which aren't really long enough or complicated enough to be split up into three installments), but her writing (dare I say) style is really horrible. I'm actually considering not bothering to finish this and moving on to something else.
On my TV:
The Big Bang Theory, Season Two
The boys and I are loving this, and have decided to make a weekly night of the viewing with our geek friends. If you want in, come over on Wednesday nights. We will have chili or some other crockpot wonder.

White Bean Chicken Chili (yes, we have finally expanded our cuisine offerings beyond pizza and bologna sandwiches).
On my To Do List:
Replace battery in Bella's quarantine collar
Post newly-created chore list
New recipe I tried or want to try soon:
Crock pot marble cake
In the craft basket:
Vivian's scarf
On my mind:
Cards with Coworkers
