  • 1.  what are you reading?  (book, magazine, paper, recipe)  I don't read many books.. generally only when I'm on vacation at the beach or on a plane.  Right now, I have several magazines (Real Simple, Glamour, Cosmo) in progress.

    3.  what's the last thing you purchased just for you? umm, honestly don't remember.  I'm thinking about getting an ipad 2, but can't manage to pull the trigger.  I have money set aside from Grandma from Christmas and bday that I'm "supposed" to blow, but I feel guilty since I won't be working after 4/18 and we're doing IVF again.  However, DH insists I'm supposed to spend it on something crazy because that's what G'ma would want.

    5. what you watching on TV night? Nothing planned yet.
