Today...

From the Simple Woman's prompts...
For today, Monday, April 27,2009

Outside my window - glorious sunshine and brisk wind
I am thinking - about grandpa - mom just called and said he isn't doing well and it won't be long
I am thankful for - family, spring, new life and the time I've had with grandpa
From the learning rooms - how to work different things on the blogs
From the kitchen - fish, beans and potatoes. Nothing too exciting I'm afraid. I hope to make more muffins tonight as the kids are going through them like crazy!
I am wearing - mint green capris, off-white t-shirt (which I need to give up - Drew keeps thinking it looks dirty!), my trusty slippers and my visor (I was outside)
I am creating - a third blog - for my 101 list; and scrapbooks for the 2 new babies born last week!
I am going - hopefully to boot camp tonight - we'll see how my feet feel in shoes (3 moles removed on Friday)
I am reading - blogs; small group is still going through Blue Like Jazz and I am slowly getting through Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World (and learning lots)
I am hoping [but not hoping] - to be able to get up to TBay if necessary
I am hearing - birds, my froggie water fountain and Lenka on my ipod
Around the house -things are quiet; the kids are at a friends and Cierra is vacumming downstairs; dinner is being prepared
One of my favourite things - just found the eye masks I bought at Michaels the other day for $1.50 - stocked up for my top 10 list for brides and moms to be gift bags
A few plans for the rest of the week - making my garden bed; posting my 101 list, catching up on my zone cleaning; scrpabook pages; get Cierra a prom dress
Here is the picture I am sharing - TBD

This may be harder then I thought - I was gone from the house til 5 pm and then right into routines. But here goes (as I thought about it in the car home)
The Simple Woman for Sunday, March 8, 2009

Outside my [car] window...Snowmobilers on the lake - I can't believe the ice is still strong enough!

I am thinking... I still really want to walk across the lake and it's beatuiful out
(8 degrees!)

I am thankful for...our 12 year long marriage

From the kitchen...wonder what's for dinner, let alone lunch since I didn't have any!

I am wearing...black jeans, orange Eddie Bauer pilling sweater (it's getting old =( )

I am creating... an post to share on my blog about shower gifts

I am going... home

I am reading...still my clutter cutters book with a few new ones to start soon

I am hoping... that the house is quiet

I am hearing... worship music

Around the house... I don't know yet

One of my favourite things... giving a shower gift people are excited about like the scrapbook and the meal planning binder!!!

A few plans for the rest of the week...safe church admin, journal your Christmas!, labels for my stamps, curtains for Cierra's room

The Simple Woman - March 1

Wow - a new month! Being a Sunday, I am going to start a new goal for Sundays only - to add a bit of a change for the journalling. It comes from The Simple Woman website.

For today...Sunday, March 1

Outside my window... it has gotten dark after a bright and beautiful sunny day.

I am thinking... still a lot to do and not a lot of time left in the day.

I am thankful for... so much but specifically right now? warm gooey brownies fresh from the oven.

From the kitchen... well the brownies of course, and rice krispie squares - finally

I am wearing... my red and white pajamas (the kids are in bed now - comfy time)

I am creating... a new blog post and considering what to do for the new LOAW challenge

I am going... to watch TV very soon

I am reading... the last chapter of "How Did I Get So Busy?"

I am hoping... to be able to go for a run tomorrow and that it won't be too cold.

I am hearing... Drew laugh in the background

Around the house... all is quiet

One of my favourite things... warm brownies (a little obsessed I think)

A few plans for the rest of the week... some safe church and summer camp prep! Finish up some nearly finished projects.
