BBC's "Planet Earth" series. We've finished two discs so far, about six episodes total, with many more to go. (Good thing I spread them out in my Netflix cue!) We have been enjoying them, both for pretty pictures and learning opportunities, and sometimes an excuse to take a nap on the couch. :) We tend to enjoy the "making of" spots at the end of the episodes more than the actual episodes.
Eating . . .
Magic Kale Salad with tempeh bacon
And Buttermilk French Toast
Planning . . .
On taking better care of myself this spring. I've been lucky in the past, having lots of walking naturally incorporated into my daily routine. With this new job I started in October, not so much. :( I'm scheduling weekly walks with a small group of friends, and also hoping to slowly reintroduce yoga into my week. I'd like to work my way up to three times a week!
Reading . . .
Either the Harry Potter series start to finish, or the Anne of Green Gables series start to finish. I need a brain break and some de-stressing! Which series should I read first?
Inspired By . . .
People who cloth diaper their babies. I fully plan to cloth diaper my own children someday, whenever that may arrive, but lately, we've generated a LOT of laundry, just the two of us. I couldn't imagine laundry for a family, PLUS diapers every few days! Wow. Major props to those of you out there who manage to stay on top of that. :)
Excited About . . .
Our garden!!!!!!!! Seriously, it's worth that many exclamation points. The snow is finally, finally, FINALLY starting to melt! We're getting some spring things started inside, and hoping to till in a bunch of compost in a couple of weeks. Fingers crossed!

So, what have you been up to?

Planet Earth is so great! Some really sad stuff in there though! The food looks great!
SALAD SALAD SALAD. Re books: I personally just finished rereading the entire Sookie Stackhouse series, and am now feeling a strange pull toward Mercedes Lackey...how's that for comfort reading? :) Seriously, you should just pick a v.1 off the shelf and see how it grabs you.
I love Anne and HP, but with all your moving and long commute time, I say Anne. It's comforting and warm like a pair of pj's. Drink some hot cocoa, snuggle with your husband and Oliver, and read about the adventures of a red-headed spitfire during a simpler time. I think I might go pick up my copy now, too.
Right on, Laine! Anne it is. :)
Eileen, I love the phrase "comfort reading." I used to think of it as "brain vacation" -- I much prefer your definition!
I love both Harry Potter and Anne of Green Gables, but I would have to go with Anne--such a classic and it always makes me smile :-)
