FOR TODAY: August 21, 2011

Outside my window...
Another very warm day and beautiful mountains.

I am thinking...
I am hungry, and I don't understand.

I am thankful...
To have people in my life who love me and care about me.

In the kitchen...
Hmmmm.... Ice Cream, I think BT is making chicken of some sort for dinner.

I am wearing...
Brown Capris, and a peach shirt

I am creating...
Nothing at the moment, but I want to bust open all my yarn boxes and make a Funky Chunky Blanket.

I am going...
nowhere, and I'm happy about it.

I am wondering...
How I got so blessed to have such wonderful children, not just my own but the others around me. I love them all!

I am reading...
When the Soul Mends, by Cindy Woodsmall

I am hoping...
To have a quiet evening.

I am looking forward to...
The next Saints Game

I am hearing...
The Swamp Cooler and the girls

Around the house...
BFF is sleeping, BT is cooking, Kids are playing, watching TV, or sleeping, and I'm in the office blogging then reading

I am pondering...
The next book

One of my favorite things...
peace (the other is quiet!)

A few plans for the rest of the week:
Finish up Phlebotomy class, keep looking for work, organize my room better.

From The Simple Woman’s Daybook

I haven't done The Simple Woman's Daybook for pretty much all of November, so I figured it was time. I haven't BLOGGED much even lately.

FOR TODAY

Outside my window... It is already pitch black, thanks to the 4:19 pm sunset.

I am thinking... About making a batch of cookies for the cookie exchange on Tuesday.

I am thankful for... The laughter of my children.

From the kitchen... Tonight was burgers and left over sides from Thanksgiving.

I am wearing... A brown v-neck 3/4 sleeve t-shirt, skinny leg jeans, and as always, mismatched socks. :)

I am creating... Not a heck of a lot right now. I do have a scarf in progress but I haven't been working on it because reading books has been much more fun.

I am going... NO WHERE!! WOOOHOOO

I am reading... The Secret, by Beverly Lewis

I am hoping... to finish my book tonight.

I am hearing... The kids playing around, the Eagles game on TV, and some screaming to the TV (we are passionate about football around here.

Around the house... Lots to do, cookies to be made, cleaning before the cookie exchange. But the tree is up and decorated and I am SO happy about it.

One of my favorite things... The beauty of the various ornaments and their sentimental meanings.

A few plans for the rest of the week: Football, the pleasure of taking my girls to Ballet this week, work, Cookie exchange, hoping to get Bug into gymnastics, work, work, work, Sabbath. :)

No picture today.

The Simple Woman's Daybook, October 16, 2010

So I stumbled upon this on a blog I follow, and I thought it was interesting and would be fun to do. So I went to the website, read the instructions, and am going to do it, sometimes anyway. I don't plan to make it a daily activity for me, but it's a nice thing on occasion. :)

If you are interested in doing The Simple Woman's Daybook go to the link and read up about it. :)

Outside my window... Pitch black darkness punctuated by street lights showing the leaves falling off the trees.

I am thinking... about getting some Peppermint ice cream, and ROLL TIDE!

From the kitchen... mmmmm... Nachos tonight. :)

I am wearing... Jeans and a brown v-neck 3/4 sleeve sweater. Comfy.

I am creating... a peaceful heart :) Honestly.
