What I’m Listening To: At first I was struggling to find some music, but here’s what’s on my MusicNOW rotation:

 

What I’m Watching: I’ve been watching a lot of Christmas movies as of late, still holding out on watching National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation for just a little while longer. :-)

What I’m Reading: After seeing Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1 this past weekend, it encouraged me to re-read the books. I’ve just finished the first book and starting on the second.

What I’m Looking Forward To This Week: I’m hoping to do some fun Christmas-y stuff this weekend, we’ll see if it happens! :-)

What I’m Listening To: I currently love Nelly’s "Just A Dream." His sound on this record really reminds me of some of his earlier work.

What I’m Watching: I finally finished watching all seven season of Adam-12, what a great show! Now I’m getting caught up on How I Met Your Mother and Psych. I try not to watch a ton of TV, but with the weather getting colder, I have been.

What I’m Reading: I’ve been slowly reading a book called Blue Blood by Edward Conlon, I’ll finish it eventually. :-)

What I’m Looking Forward To This Week: I’m just pretty happy that I’ve finally decorated my office.


Find of the Day:
I was walking through Whole Foods today when I came across Matt’s Cookies out of Chicago. We used to sell these at Marsh back in the day and I think they’re so good! They’re soft and have real ingredients. Glorious!

Also, I’m pretty sure that these cookies are lactose-free, so you can give them to people who can’t have dairy products. Like I said, I found these at Whole Foods, although you might find them at other groceries in Indiana. :-)

What I’m Listening To: "Stole My Heart" by Little & Ashley.

What I’m Watching: I’ve been watching a lot of old-school "Adam-12" and "How I Met Your Mother."

What I’m Reading: Return to the Little Kingdom: How Apple and Steve Jobs Changed the World by Michael Moritz. I’ve read a lot of books on the history of the computer industry, particularly Apple Computer, Inc. This book tells the same stories I’ve heard over and over again from a different perspective. I’m enjoying it.

What I’m Looking Forward To This Week: Getting on the Monon Trail and trying out my Dad’s road bike. I really need to get prepared for the team triathlon.
