Simple Woman - August 17, 2009

“I long, as does every human being,

to be at home wherever I find myself.”
―Maya Angelou

FOR TODAY . . . August 17, 2009

Outside my Window... it is hot . . . it has been the hottest days of the summer this past week and through most of this week.
I am thinking... that I need to focus on getting some things completed instead of starting something new
I am thankful for... our garden and sharing the wealth of our abundance
From the kitchen... baked tomatoes, corn on the cob, fresh steamed green beans marinated and grilled chicken . . . all but the chicken came from the garden
I am creating... squares . . . lots of squares
I am going... to enjoy my two days off this week
I am wearing... black slacks and a black shell with green and black blouse
I am reading... a couple of books, none of which I can remember the title of . . . how sad
I am hoping... to get boat loads of stuff done today
I am hearing... the radio
Around the house... the garden is in full swing (lots of veggies), everything is vacuumed and dusted and the dishwasher is empty
One of my favorite things... starting the day with an empty dishwasher . . . how weird is THAT!
A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week... busy today and tomorrow at work . . . Wednesday and Thursday am off from work . . . haircuts for Lindsey, Sarah and I on Wednesday followed by lunch, Thursday is Lindsey's first day of school 8 to 11 . . . no busses so I will drive her, hang out at Panera's and then pick her up a little after 11:00. We will then pick up Peg (my sister) and Andrew (Lindsey' boyfriend . . . he has a half day also) and all of us will go to lunch. We are having fish for dinner one of those nights. Either Salmon or Flounder.
