mid week

I have a little Bear who isn't feeling too good, she stayed home from school with a fever and a sore tummy. That seems to be going around. I picked her up somthing today that should cheer her up tomorrow, new dresses. Like lots of people these days I buy a lot of stuff at second hand stores and today I visisted two. I am in the midst of planning this weekends party, although I seem to be the only one who's really interested at this moment. Granted that's due to not feeling good and homework overload. Our next theme is, Narnia Ta Da! My husband still has his orginial boxed set of the Chronicles of Narnia from the early 80's when the BBC produced the mini series. I confess, although I had read many books in my youth this series was not one of them, the only reason I can think of is perhaps my late Mother didn't approve. Anywho, I first read them in 2003 shortly before the arrival of our Bear. It was mid August and since she was due the first week of that month and it was 95 degrees everyday was out of sorts to say the least. my husband, in an attempt to distract me brought home his boxed set from his parents house. To his relief I enjoyed them, to his dismay I read them all in one afternoon so the distraction was short lived. A few years ago I gave him a new set for xmas, so the aging box set could be retired. Some of the pages are falling out and brittle. The downside of paperbacks. the new set are hardcovers. So, we are going with Narnia but I don't know yet what I am going to make. We made turkish delight a couple of years ago, it was a lengthy painstaking process and we did not find it to our taste. Rosewater was for a long time a favored flavoring of sweets, before the common use of vanillia but we did not appreciate the flavor. I thought about panfried fish, you know the Beaver's dam home, but I don't care for fish and my DH who does wasn't to enthused about my suggestion for some reason. Sauages and mashed potatoes come to mind also, the supper on thier first night at Professor Diggory Kirk's home but my Andyboy isn't' fond of sausages, especially not hot dogs. If anybody is actually reading this I could use some sugesstions, any body? well its nearly 1am, i really need sleep, another 10 hour day at work tomorrow, yippe kia yay.
