Stacks...

I watched "The Prince & Me" (and DVRed the other two) on ABC Family yesterday afternoon, and I thought "Stacks" was an appropriate title for this post (although for reasons other than the use of the word in the movie!).

I have a stack of cook books and recipes sitting on one corner of my countertop.  I put it there on Friday (I think), in hopes that J would decide to pick out some food he'd like for me to make.  He keeps commenting on my lack of interest in cooking, but it's really more that I don't want to decide what to make for dinner - I'd rather just be told what's for dinner and then make it (or at least what ingredients I have to work with - narrowed down from my pantry).  Unfortunately, he's not wanting to look through the books.  And I haven't had time (or haven't made time) to deal with it.  So we have a "boring" meal plan for this month (although I did finally make a monthly meal plan again!!!) unless I get inspired to start cooking from a book.

I also have a stack (though they're standing up and not stacked horizontally) of books from the library that are due tomorrow.  The problem is, I haven't touched them since I brought them home three weeks ago (other than to move them out of the way).  They're workbooks that I want to scan pages from to create a worksheet database on my computer for Jenny.  The only problem is that my scanner is finicky and is in the other room.  I think I might just renew them online.

I have another stack of books - books to read and review.  I have one I need to get done before Wednesday.  It looks really good, I just haven't had time to sit down and read it.  But I'm hoping to get into it today!  And I'm starting to grow a nice stack of Christmas-y books to read and review, too.

I have a stack (actually, a bowl) of candy sitting at the desk next to me.  It's Jenny & David's Halloween candy.  I love Halloween!  There's nothing like a bowl full of candy in a house where the kids are allowed very little candy most of the time - Mommy and Daddy will have to help eat it in order for it to be eaten up before it goes bad!

I'm sure I could think of other stacks I have laying around my house, but I should probably redirect my attention to taking care of some of the stacks rather than just writing about them!

Q4U: What stacks do you have sitting around your house?
