The idea for this blog post comes from a blog I occasionally read called The Freckled Fox . She calls these posts "Taking Stock": Seeing: all the dogs sleeping, a nephew playing, ceiling fans turning, grey clouds. Making: an effort to not disappear into the bedroom I'm staying at while in Nebraska with family (kids'll do that to me) Cooking: nothing. Since I'm visiting family in Omaha, I haven't done much cooking. But while here I have made my absolute favorite PB cookies which are easy and delicious Drinking: sooooo much water - still not enough Reading: a guide for everything you need to know about medical school and Pushkin's Eugene Onegin Hearing: the pot on the stove cooking the bottles which contain my SIL Nicole's homemade spaghetti sauce Wanting: the next year to speed by - I am tired of fretting about med school applications and would like the whole thing finished - please? Looking: forward to visiting the zoo tomorro
