Simple Woman's Daybook: Feb. 8 Edition

I have a friend who takes part in the Simple Woman's Daybook quite frequently. It's good for a quick peek into what she's doing so I thought I would give it a try.

 

 

 

FOR TODAY

Outside my window...

It's a surprisingly beautiful day! Not too cold and no rain. Looks like we have some snow flurries and ice/hail in the forecast for later this week.

View from the upstairs window.

What is up with the weather on Tuesday and Wednesday?

I am thinking...

About the 5 or 6 lists I have going in various places and all I need to take care of today.

I am thankful...

For a weekend with no outside obligations!

In the kitchen...

Ummm....I try to stay out of the kitchen. Tomorrow I'm making some deviled eggs though!

I am wearing...

Jeans and a University of Arkansas at Monticello sweatshirt. Go Boll Weevils!

I am creating...

A blanket! It looks like a long strip but this will be knitted together with other strips to make a patchwork style blanket. I'm using a bunch of yarn scraps.

Almost ready to start the second strip!

I am going...

Nowhere for the rest of the day if I can help it.

I am wondering...

What's wrong with my elbow. I had surgery on it when I was 5 (dislocated it on the playground) and there is cartilage loss or something that has given me minor problems over the years. However, recently it's been aching pretty bad. I thought it was because of how I slept on it and/or from lifting weights but I'm not 100% sure...

I am reading...

Mockingjay (the last book in the Hunger Game series), a book on short term play therapy, and US weekly :)

I am hoping...

My motivation for cleaning and crossing off things from my to-do list keeps up for the rest of the weekend.

I am looking forward to...

Watching some of the Olympics tonight.

I am learning...

How to speak Romanian. My second lesson lasted nearly 3 hours last night!

Around the house...

Not much going on today. Dad has a cold, mom is at work, my brother and sister-in-law came over for a bit, everyone (except me) may go for a walk at Stone Mountain later today...

I am pondering...

A lot...but nothing I'm ready to share with everyone yet :)

A favorite quote for today...

Found this yesterday and love it:

 

One of my favorite things...

Seeing my cat sunbathing.

A few plans for the rest of the week:

Work, work, work...Gym Dawgs (UGA gymnastics meet) on Friday, Kidsignment (second hand kids clothing sale) on Saturday...

A peek into my day...
