Not too much happening...

We have been doing well. Work is better. Jon starts school next week.

I made pizza this past weekend. It was fun, but lots of work. I made a Neo-Neapolitan pizza dough from scratch. Then I made New Haven Clam Pizza. It was so good! The dough was what took the most time to make. I have three other dough balls in the freezer, so it will be easier for at least three more times.

The book I used was American Pie: My Search For the Perfect Pizza. I check it out from my local public library.

I finished the first book in the Big Stone Gap series by Adriana Trigiani. I would like to read the wholes series, but will have to take a break. Jon wants to read Dead Until Dark, so that is what I will read next. We want to try reading the same book, so we can talk about it. I guess it will be like having our own little mini book club. I'm excited!

We had a very nice and relaxing weekend. I did not feel like doing much. It was nice to have both Saturday and Sunday off.

Jon surprised me today by coming to get me for lunch. We went to Izzo's.

He made a great chili in the slow cooker tonight. I am so proud of him. I am glad that I was able to step back and let him do it. This is something that I usually make, but I have been so busy.

Jon is so great about helping me around the house. Housework is the last thing I feel like doing, when I am off.

I love my husband so much!

Southern Vampire Series

Jon bought each of us a copy of the first book in the Southern Vampire Series, Dead Until Dark. He is interested in seeing the HBO series True Blood.

I have just stared reading Big Stone Gap by Adriana Trigiani. The Big Stone Gap Trilogy takes place in the region where Jon is from, and his mother suggested them to me.

I think we will probably listen to it on CD on the way to Virginia, so that when we get back we can start reading Dead Until Dark.

We will need something to listen to on our over 12 hour drive, since Sylvia does not have XM radio. Jon loves XM, so I have a feeling we will be getting it. I enjoy it as well, but is not a necessity for me.
