First few days on bed rest

The first few days have been very long - but restful. My body feels good - but my mind is going crazy! Now I remember why I needed to work in order to stimulate my brain :). Don't get me wrong - I am enjoying my time off - but it is going to be a long 4 months.

Ellie and I went to the library today to get books for mommy to read while laying in bed...she was GREAT! I told her before going in that we were going into a place where you cannot talk and she put her finger up to her mouth and said shhhh...

She did not peep a word except to whisper "books" while I was searching for what book I wanted to get. The library has changed a lot since I have been there last - which was about 8 years ago when I was in highschool - sad! All you do now is place your books on this placemat looking thing - scan your card - and poof...it prints a receipt and you are outta there! I guess there is some sort of sensor in the book that tells the computer the book info. It was really cool!

So, now I am starting to read "The Devil wears Prada" I am going to read the book and then rent the movie through our netflix. Should be fun!

The magic checkout plate is my favorite part of the library!

Did Ellie get any books?

No, they were having story time at the kids part when we got there so I knew if I went over there Ellie would be loud and it was the middle of the story. I am going to bring her back for story time next Tues and get her some books. That new magic plate is the coolest thing ever!
