Whew!

It has been a very jam packed week so it's nice to have some time to relax today and catch my breath. I managed to get the interview written up as well as two book reviews. Started reading the new Star Trek mini-series, Mere Anarchy which has started out really well.

I also got caught up on things around the house that had been put off. The flower beds in the front are all replanted for the winter and it looks really lovely. I'm so glad that's finally done. It looked so sad and forlorn with big bare patches where things were dug up to replace the sprinkers.

The next project on the agenda is shopping for new carpet for the bedrooms. I'd like to get that taken care of before Thanksgiving so that it's not hanging over my head during all the holiday preparations.

The boys were off school Friday for Veteran's Day so yesterday I finally got them out to buy new shoes, which they've both been needing for a while now. We decided to check out the new mall, which is more than double the size of the previous. We only saw a small portion of it but it seems like most of the stores are very upscale and pricey.

Andrew did the driving yesterday and he is getting more confident all the time. He's getting the hang of parking very quickly.

Later today we'll likely take in a movie and then probably go out for dinner. We all want to see Borat, hopefully it won't be sold out.
