My daybook

FOR TODAY October 5th, 2009...

Outside my window... A gorgeous fall day, with lots of sunshine, and the breeze tickling the leaves on the trees.

I am thinking...about nothing today. Yes, nothing. I know...really boring isn't it? I'm letting my day just be really spontaneous and what gets done, gets done. Nice to have a day like that every once in a while.

I am thankful for...My health. I'm just getting over a cold.

From the kitchen... It seems like a roast kind of day. I think I might put a roast in the oven for dinner with carrots, potatoes and onions. YUM!

I am wearing... My robe! LOL Yes, it's almost 12 and I'm not dressed yet. See comment above about my day! It is next on my not so ordered agenda though. I'm thinking jeans and my cozy red sweatshirt.

I am creating... peace for myself. Trying to lay low, and take care of myself.

I am going... Nowhere? At least for the moment. I have music practice tonite, and
I'm trying out a yoga class on Thursday nite. Should be interesting!

I am reading... Phillipians. Joy, joy, joy!

I am hoping... to get my house cleaned up after the mayhem of my daughter and I both being sick at the same time. Need to get everything disinfected before I allow anyone into my house.

I am hearing... Just the hum of the computer. Silence really is golden sometimes.
Around the house... Just some cleanup as mentioned above. Maybe finish the afghan for the couch here soon.

One of my favorite things...Snuggling on the couch with my husband after Jess gets to bed. I really missed this while I was trying to keep him from getting sick.

A few plans for the rest of the week: Music practice, bible study, New Yoga class, and walking in the Alzheimer's walk with a friend in honor of her Dad.

No pictures this week. hopefully I'll have some next week. Till then, The Lord turn his face toward you, and give you peace! (Numbers 6:26)

My daybook

For Today 10/13/2008...

Outside my Window...Sunshine filtering through the acorn tree (Oak?) that is blowing in a crisp autumn wind.

I am thinking...Of the different perspectives that God gives each one of us through his Holy Spirit, our own life experiences, and education. He truly did make each one of us to fulfill our own little purposes here on earth.

I am thankful for...My family who is not afraid to speak the truth in love to get me to examine myself and my opinions. I'm also thankful for the extra time God has given me with my husband and daughter this past weekend. I love you guys!

From the kitchen...Hopefully some homemade vegetable soup in a little bit for dinner.

I am wearing...Jeans! (is there anything else?) and a grass green short sleeve top with a bit of lace at the top. For once, I don't have bedhead today! LOL

I am reading...Zechariah, and Sisterchicks on the loose.

I am hoping...To be able to pull off this missions tea on Saturday for church. I'm feeling good about everything at the moment, but talk to me Thursday LOL.

I am hearing...Fox news network about this voter fraud with Acorn. What a mess! One person signed 75 times, and didn't think there was anything wrong with that. They were just helping out the person because they get paid per signature. Yeah, ok!

Around the house...chores, lists of things to do, dog to bathe after being in the Lake yesterday, getting ready to go away for a ladies weekend next week.

One of my favorite things...listening to my daughter talk about things rattling around in her head.

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week...getting my flower beds cleaned out a bit, and readying for the tea this weekend. (Can you say one track mind?)

Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you...

Jessica playing queen bee at Longwood Gardens. Prim and proper isn't she?

FOR TODAY 10/06/2008

Outside My Window... Gloomy and very still. Reflects my life for the past few days as the whole house has been very ill, including me.

I am thinking...That I would love to feel normal and to be able to eat.

I am thankful for...Long days with my husband and child.

From the kitchen...Water boiling on the stove for another round of hot tea for everyone.

I am wearing...A nightshirt that says "I don't do mornings". So very true these last few days.

I am going...to the eye doctor....maybe. So far, I feel ok, and it's so hard to get into the eye doctor's office.

I am reading...A sisterchicks novel by Robin Jones Gunn. I love her books!

I am hoping...That Jessica can go back to school tomorrow and everyone is done with this evil illness.

I am hearing...The dog playing with her squeaky chicken. Also, the sounds coming from Jessica's game boy.

Around the house...a mess! There are blankets and pillows everywhere, and no one has had the energy to do the dishes. Thank God it's just basically tea mugs and spoons.

One of my favorite things...Advil lol! Do you know how much your body aches at 102 degrees?

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week.... REST! When I feel better, I plan to get back on track with my weight loss. The last day and a half consisted of sprite, and hot tea. I think maybe I lost a pound or two LOL.

Here is picture thought I am sharing...

This is the blanket that we've all been fighting over. One of my bestest buds, Monica, made it for us for Christmas. It is a hand-tied fleece. Thanks Monica! Love ya!

For Today 9/29/2008...

Outside my Window...The cabana...topless LOL . Golden sunshine reflecting off the orange and red leaves of a large tree standing alone in the field.

I am thinking...That I am so blessed to have a family that loves me, a church that accepts me, A God who never leaves me, a home to take care of, and a network of friends to share with.

I am thankful for...the strength of my husband who is going through a rough patch right now.

From the kitchen...cereal, yogurt, and cheese. LOL

I am wearing...Blue exercise pants with a white stripe, brown breakout staff shirt with Galatians 5:1 on it crazy morning hair and dark maroon polish on most of my toes.

I am creating...More buckets for friends and to sell on ebay.

I am going...To clean at my dad's house.

I am reading...Karen Kingsbury series

I am hoping...That the sunshine sticks around for a bit so that I can get in my exercise today and maybe tinker in my flower gardens.

I am hearing...My daughter tinkering around getting ready for school and the dog's "bling" clinking together as she runs around/plays with Jessie.

Around the house...Starting to decorate for Fall. Putting up the fall garland on the banister in the upstairs hallway, hanging up my scarecrow and fall welcome sign outside, putting out Thanksgiving deco, etc. Making my house a home :)

One of my favorite things...The cool, crisp, low humidity days of Autumn that is perfect for walks, runs, bike riding, picnics and the like.

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week...Getting Bailey's stitches out which translates to the "funnel" coming off her head...Yeah! Cleaning for Dad. Renewing my commitment to bible study. My first home & school meeting. Craft day with friends. Trying not to go Bonkers!
