The Simple Woman's Daybook - May 4, 2010


FOR TODAY

Outside my window... wind blowing the new spring buds, bright yellow green leaves, and wind chimes

I am thinking...it's funny I can hear the cat snoring

I am thankful for... bagels and cream cheese in my refrigerator

I am wearing...the shirt my dorm floor had made in college (my name is on the back as one of the "Top Ten reasons to live on Miller 1st :))

I am remembering...what Sartre said about other people

I am creating...a calm heart, a calm heart, a calm heart

I am going...to be okay, be okay.

I am reading... Shift by Jennifer Bradbury

I am hoping...I feel happy in five years about the decisions I make this year

I am hearing...my husband vacuuming up the baking soda we put on the carpet in the corner to absorb the smell...Thanks, Jeremy.  And thanks Felix & Tucker for remembering where your litter box is tomorrow!

Around the house...very clean carpet in the little bedroom  :)

On my mind...appropriate and inappropriate uses of facebook

Noticing that...my water glass doesn't magically become full if I check it again 33 seconds later

Pondering these words... "We are looking to brands for poetry and for spirituality, because we're not getting those things from our communities or from each other."  ~Naomi Klein



One of my favorite things...mild spring nights with a breeze

A few plans for the rest of the week... physical therapy, a five-year-old's birthday party, and some time to myself on Sunday morning

Here is picture for thought I am sharing (from my friend Amy)...

2 comments:

  1. Outside my window... green grass, outside toys to be washed, tree covered pink flowers.

    I am thinking... it is hard to type with a 4 yo in your lap.

    I am thankful for... being able to stay up way too late to read a book and not have to go to work in the morning.

    I am wearing...a sweatshirt that says "MAINE". Purchased in Booth Bay Habor on a family vacation. There is a great picture of my dad an I with me wearing it.

    I am remembering...that the Main vacation is when I found out my sister was pregnant with my niece Colette.

    I am creating...order, I hope.

    I am going...to be tired today but it was worth it.

    I am reading... finished two books last night/this morning so I haven't started a new one yet. Choices Choices.

    I am hoping... that I can get the side yard done by Xander's birthday.

    I am hearing... the furnace, Cinnamon snoring, Moira making funny noises in my lap.

    Around the house... 75% done with organizing the craft room... final push today to get it done.

    On my mind...finishing what I started.

    Noticing that... That I don't how to load a picture in a comment.

    Pondering these words... You can't be responsible for other people's feelings.

    One of my favorite things... watching things I planted grow.

    A few plans for the rest of the week... sleep, food school, dr appt, shred-a-thon

    Wishing I could show you the picture of my dad and I.

  2. Sounds like you enjoyed your books, Cath. :)

    What are you working on in the side yard? When is Xander's birthday?

    I can't wait to see what the craft room looks like! And I'll want to see the picture of you and your dad.

    What inspired the shred-a-thon?

    Do you think you might want to do the read-a-thon with me in October?
