Outside my window…
Dark, windy, kinda cold. It was a beautiful weekend though, so no complaints here!
I am thankful…
For family, for time at home.
I am thinking about…
About the very busy week coming up… About how neighbors can make us angry… About how much I love my little girl!

Learning all the time…
Oh-yeah! Learning again… I’m sure I’ve learned something this week, I just can’t think of anything that stands out…

From the kitchen…
BROWNIES!!! Can you believe we went a whole week with NO chocolate in our house!?!? That pretty much NEVER happens. Not that we living in Willie Wonka’s chocolate factory, but there is always some chocolate-y goodness in the cupboards!

I am creating…
A lovely little dress for my girl! Still working on wedding sewing, but we’re down to the wire now, wedding is this week!

I am working on…
Patience. Mostly with my neighbors… I don’t like it when they park in front of my house because they have eight cars! I especially don’t like when they try to block my driveway. Not that I’m a shy wall-flower, I had no problem telling the lady in the pick-up she had to park somewhere else!

I am going…
To a wedding at the end of the week! So very excited about my beautiful cousin who is getting married!

I am hoping…
I don’t drive myself nuts before the end of the week! I am also hoping my Little makes it down the isle without incident…

I am reading…
OK, here we go!!! I started reading Wuthering Heights!!! I busted out my NOOK and couldn’t pick which book I wanted to read. I mostly have a lot of free classics. I decided to go the “easy” route and simply picked the last (alphabetically) book in my reader! So far I have gotten through the first to introductions. Working on the forward by Charlotte Bronte. Funny thing, mostly the intros just talked about Emily Bronte, gave background on who she was, a bit about her life, whatever… But the second introduction/forward actually gave away parts of the book! Who does that?

I am praying…
For a local family that woke up this morning to find their four-month-old little girl missing. The facts are a little sketchy and I would say there are a few more missing pieces of the puzzle than I am comfortable with but I truly hope that she is found safe and sound.

I am hearing…
The news commercial discussing the above mentioned baby as well as the Brian Stow case. Now they’ve switched back to Celebrity Apprentice… The finally now. For all the drama these famous people can be, the money they are raising for these amazing charities, that makes it all worth it.

Around the house…
Things are crazy! Too many toys in the living room, too many dishes in the sink, too much laundry still left to wash, dry and put away.

One of my favorite things…
Favorite things… Ah, they slip past us so quickly! A favorite thing today would be having my nephew over for the weekend and enjoying cinnamon rolls with both kids! Hugs and kisses and pleases and thank-you’s.

A few plans for the rest of the week…
A little work, a lot of wedding. Very excited to see so much family! We’ve been very blessed that we can usually get-together once a year.

Random thought…
Oh my random thoughts… I have been a bit more focussed lately. Not that I haven’t had a single random thought, I just can’t seem to think of one right now… Oh-wait!!! I was thinking today of the bliss of being old and senile! Tee-hee! I mean, you could just fake it at some point, right? Look at it this way… When you get old, you know who you just don’t want to deal with, you know your family and friends crap. What’s to stop you from simply pretending that you just don’t know who they are? Yes, there are some things I look forward to! I just don’t want to wear diapers!
