"A life without love is like a year without summer."
—Swedish Proverb

FOR TODAY

Outside my Window... the sun is shining and the weather is FINE!

I am thinking... I wish I were home instead of at work

I am thankful for... the fact that I have a job to go to

From the kitchen... still dieting so nothing much fun going on in the kitchen. I did make cream puffs for my niece's graduation party!

I am creating... Cloths of the Week and really enjoying it. I also have a 12" square I need to do for the Grindstone Knitting Guild. And, we are doing a KAL from the Whoduknit group.

I am going... to do nothing this evening. I have an inflamed achilles tendon and the doctor doesn't want me doing much of anything this week.

I am wearing... black slacks, pink t-shirt and black and white jacket

I am reading... Murder Most Crafty

I am hoping... to finish the 12" square by tomorrow evening, although that would require my focusing on it and frogging it (AGAIN).

I am hearing... people arriving. Work starts in 35 minutes and everyone is beginning to get here. The chatting begins.

Around the house... the kitchen/dining room floor NEEDS to be washed. Hah! Three of them are home all summer and guess who is going to do the floor this Friday when she is taking a day off of work . . . if you guessed me, you would be right!

One of my favorite things... clean windows. Forgetting the previous comment, Dave loves washing windows and usually does them all the first week after school gets out. He also washes the sliding door off the dining room every week. I shouldn't complain.

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week... not much . . . I am taking Friday off and we are going to a picnic at Dave's principals home that evening. I like most of the teachers and their spouses. I cannot stand the principal but for Dave, I slap a smile on my face and talk her up . . . plus, she just announced that SHE will be teaching the 4th and 5th grade math this year . . . Zachariah will be in 4th grade. Bah humbug. On Saturday, it is Zachariah's last baseball game and, since Dave is the coach, we will be hosting the end-of-season picnic/swim party at our house. Sunday, we will be going to the Irish Festival.
