The Simple Woman's Daybook -- July 25, 2011

Hosted by Peggy.

Outside my window... Jen's gorgeous green yard and lots and of sun -- I was very hot when I was hanging up laundry!

I am thinking... about parenting choices and how to talk to those who've made different ones.

I am thankful...for ice cubes.

From the learning rooms... reading Destiny Disrupted:  A History of the World through Islamic Eyes by Tamim Ansary and recommended to me by Jon.

In the kitchen... I made another batch of crackers, did lots of dishes, and cut up beets and beet greens.


I am going... to take a cold shower when I'm finished with this post.

I am wondering...  why I'm so hard on myself these days -- It feels like a new (and not awesome) thing.

I am hoping... to go see at least one potential apartment this week.

I am looking forward to... feeling more stable.

I am hearing... Bach's Suite for Lute in E Minor playing on my Pandora QuickMix

I am pondering...songs that are less depressing to me now than they would've been 3 years ago.

One of my favorite things... feeling sleepy and cozy with people I love.

A few plans for the rest of the week: working tomorrow afternoon/evening, book club at Sara's on Thursday, working Saturday and Sunday.  Fiona is with Jeremy this weekend and I'll try to be good to myself while crossing things off my list.

Here is picture for thought I am sharing...

Fiona and Sam had a lemonade stand on Saturday --Sam's already counting his loot!  :)  Thank you, Elise, for spending the day with them!
