Monday's Daybook

From the simple woman website see side for blog:

For today:

Outside my window: A large cedar tree.

I am thinking: I need to get ready for work earlier today so I can walk at the mall before work with my friend Becky.

I am thankful for: the city library!

From the kitchen: a banana and fruit smoothie.

I am wearing: turquoise polka dot pajama pants and top.

I am reading: a book on taste by Letitia Baldridge, also a book by Pat Ennis about being a gracious woman (I can't remember the exact title right now!)

I am hoping: to exercise by walking more this week and not to eat junk!

I am creating: still knitting the rose-colored baby blanket, which I will donate to the Children's Hospital in Seattle via my mother in law who is in one of the guilds for the hospital, as soon as I am finished with it.

I am hearing: the tv on downstairs

Around the house: the dogs are shedding, vacuuming is needed almost on a hour by hour basis!

One of my favorite things: Knitting

A few plans for the rest of the week: drop off stuff at Goodwill or similar place, go out after work Wednesday night with work people to celebrate our last week of summer hours.

Picture to share: Tank with his brothers when they were very little!

Daybook Entry

I found this lovely website: http://thesimplewoman.blogspot.com/

Outside my window: Green fir trees, cars driving by.

I am thinking: Why did I forget to bring my husband's safety glasses with me to the optical shop when I picked up my new glasses at lunch (he needs one of the nosepieces fixed on his, and I told him I would take it with me but I forgot and left it in my tote bag at work. Now I will have to go back sometime this week.

I am thankful for: the fact that the weather has cooled down some.

From the kitchen: I am making marinated flank steak tonight for dinner.

I am wearing: Brown pants, blue top with gold sequin thing in the middle, gold flats, gold hoop earrings.

I am creating: A rose-colored baby blanket (knitting) along with a blue knitted scarf and a cream-colored shawl (three projects at once, I like to switch around).

I am going: to take more time to spend reading the Psalms in the morning

I am reading: The Red Scarf and The Millionaire Next Door

I am hoping: that my back will stop with the achey muscle spasms

I am hearing: Unclutter, declutter, simplify: at work and home!

Around the house: I need to clean and declutter.

One of my favorite things: My new purple reading glasses.

A Few Plans for the rest of the Week: Finish knitting scarf, cleaning upstairs, taking old books and clothes to Goodwill, write a letter.

Here is a picture I am sharing: Lady in Paris
