The Simple Woman’s Day Book February 20, 2010

 

Outside my window… ~23 degrees and dark. I’ve been busy with laundry, baking and cooking today.  I’ve been wanting to blog, but only now have a minute since Little Man is in the shower.

I am thinking… ~that getting my Nook was a good idea.  I’ve read four books on it so far, and I love the fact that you can download cookbooks to it as well.

I am thankful for… ~my health.  I still snap back from getting sick pretty well.  I can’t plow through it like I could in my 30′s, but I don’t do too badly for an old broad.

I am wearing… ~a yellow crinkle top and jeans.

I am remembering… ~when Little Man was a baby.  He was so doggone cute.

 

I am going… ~to get my pictures from our Chicago trip uploaded to Walgreens this week.  I want to print them out.  I’m also going to blog about our adventures, because we had a really good time.

I am currently reading…~Stormrage by Richard Knaak.  It’s a World of Warcraft novel.  I still love reading these books even though I no longer play the game.  I’ve always loved the fantasy genre.

I am hoping…~that spring decides to show up soon.  I am thoroughly ready to be done with winter.

On my mind… ~Getting everything done I need to do this week.  Tuesday is an especially busy for me this week, with a dentist appointment, baseball signups and popcorn bagging for the Jump Rope for Heart event at the school.

Noticing that… ~the days are getting longer.  It’s not dark at 6 p.m. anymore.

Pondering these words… nothing. Nada. Zip.  Insert clever quote here.  I have too much going on for deep thoughts today.

From the kitchen… ~Bacon cheddar bread, peach raspberry crisp, garlic parmesan chicken and rice; I haven’t planned this week’s menu yet, but I know I’ll be doing pork chops and cream of chicken noodles one night this week.  I’m in a cooking rut–I need to browse some recipes for inspiration.

Around the house… ~laundry, sweeping, dusting…all done.  Catching up, because apparently Lysol-ing my whole house didn’t stop me from getting a horrid case of the flu last Wednesday/Thursday.

One of my favorite things…~my new floors.  My brother and dad replaced my hall and kitchen floors for me while we were in Chicago last week.  They look wonderful, and that will be a whole post in itself.  Thanks Tommy and Dad!
