Friend Making Monday

Amber at {aefillkins} is hosting Friend Making Monday.

She wants us to finish the sentences from the Simple Woman's Daybook - I thought it was interesting so I figured I would join.

The Simple Woman's Daybook


Outside my window... the weather is crazy, 60+ degrees on January 25th, 2010 in Washington D.C. I went for a walk with the twins in a tee shirt and flip flops. <3 it.

I am thinking....that I need to write some blog posts for my baking blog, and then send out some emails, and then do laundry, and then...

I am thankful... for the direction my life is going. I am finally in a place where I am truly happy. I am also thankful that my little brother is finally figuring out his direction in life.

I am praying... for my family. My brother leaves in about 3 weeks for bootcamp. I pray for him to have wisdom to keep him mouth shut when the Marines are screaming at him, I pray for him to stay safe and injury free. I pray for my parents, who are going to be experiencing a real empty nest for the first time in 25 years. I hope they take the time to get to know each other again, and fall even more in love with each other. We won't be there to bother them :-D (if only the dog would leave them alone)

I am reading... The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown

I am creating... dinner (also in the middle of a couple crafty things)

From the kitchen... Dinner is in the oven :-D

Around the house... I have a lot of piles that need attention

One of my favorite things... Cinnamon crunch bagels from Panera, Matt surprised me with some yesterday :-D

A few plans for the rest of the week... work, run, make yummies for Austin, party for my brother at Grandmother's.
