Breakfast at Patty's Eggnest. I discovered one of the restaurants (it is part of a chain, I guess) while driving my route. When my family came in to town, I said, "Hey! Let's try this place out!" My dad asked how did I know if it was any good? I said that it had a sign advertising that it was "Seattle's Best Breakfast!" He told me that did not necessarily mean that it was. Well, we tried it out, and found out that it was tremendously good! Very busy, though. The orange juice is fresh squeezed. There is strawberry freezer jam on each table. The biscuits & gravy breakfast is so good! The portions are huge. So go there hungry, but patient enough to wait awhile.

Reading my friend's second book, Eena, the Return of a Queen (The Harrowbethian Saga #2). I am enjoying it even more than her first book, Eena, the Dawn and the Rescue (The Harrowbethian Saga #1). My mom is reading the first one, she is really enjoying it. She pointed out to me that I have been reading one of the main character's name wrong. I thought she must have misunderstood, till she pointed it out on page 6 of the first book. Now, I am having to correct in my head how it is said every time I read it in the second book.

My mom's Kindle Fire. I have a Kindle of my own, which I like very much. I was comparing my text-to-speech feature with her text-to-speech feature. The voice is slightly different, and seems to read a little more naturally. It still pronounces some things wrong, but I can live with that. I like how mine can start anywhere in the text. My mom's always starts at the top of the page, even if you pause it for a second. I noticed lately, though, my Kindle is skipping pages with this feature, which is a bit irritating. I like how my screen is less harsh on the eyes, but I like how my mom's has color. Obviously, the Kindle Fire has several more features available, but sometime it's nice to have less features on one device.
The sensation that is Downton Abbey. I have to admit, I was skeptical in believing that I would like this show, despite the fact that numerous friends, relatives, and coworkers were recommending this show to me. I finally decided to watch some episodes, and now I understand. I completed Season 3 just last week.
Counting Stars by OneRepublic. Very catchy. Fun to sing to, and dance along with.
My new vaccuum! I asked some of you on Facebook for some suggestions on what to buy. Most said Dyson. After careful consideration, and a little research, I went for a Eureka! It claims to work better than the Dyson, for half the price. Costco had some Dyson vacuums out to test, so I tested them before deciding.
What I like about the Dyson was the ball at the bottom, it made it very easy to move around, it had nice suction, but I feel my vacuum gets just as much suction. There are so many nice features on my new vacuum such as a washable filter, an easy to remove canister, a retractable cord, along with some other things, that I feel like I made the right decision.
Skyping with my sister and my little niece! It seems like I actually get to chat with my sister more, now that she lives in Japan and has a little girl. It is fun to see how my sister's daughter changes from week to week. She is truly a great blessing.
