Simple Woman's Daybook-- Week 4

For Today…August 25th, 2008

Outside my Window…it's dark.

I am thinking…I better not miss my mandatory dorm meeting tonight.

I am thankful for…Shanon and this awesome computer she got me.

I am wearing…a jean skirt, t-shirt and my feet.

My hair is... in a flipthrough (cool ponytail)

I am reading… Let me be a woman. And I am starting Exodus. I finished Genesis recently (finally! :)

I am hoping…I get enough sleep this semester.

I am hearing…my CD player.

Around the house…are my family, minus me. :'(

One of my favorite things…seeing all my friends again!

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week… getting though the first week of school.

Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you…

Here is where I will spend my next days, weeks, and months of my life and energy.

Simple Woman's Daybook-- Week 3

For Today…August 18th, 2008

Outside my Window…the beautiful blue sky, not even a cloud.

I am thinking…I should start on the dishes.

I am thankful for…my mom. She is amazing!

From the kitchen…nothing right now. But I might make some brownies later (and probably supper too...)

I am wearing…a jean skirt, t-shirt and my feet.

My hair is... very curly because I curled it in socks the other night and pulled back in a banana clip.

I am reading…[sigh] I have been so bad at reading. I'm still reading Let me be a woman. One quote I remember, "A man is a man, not a woman. And a woman is a woman. It is one of the simple facts that is not so simple to remember." [smile]

I am hoping…to get into my chores for the day. Laundry, dishes, cooking and who knows what else! (Sometimes I get in a cleaning mood, which mom calls my frenzy, and I clean everything in sight)

I am hearing…the air conditioner. It tends to be quieter when Scott is out in the field. :)

Around the house…I REALLY need to do the dishes.

One of my favorite things…long emails from friends.

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week… finishing all of my packing before school, cleaning at camp tomorrow for the renewal, playing with my new camera, doing my laundry on Thursday (so all of my stuff is clean for last-minute packing), saying goodbye to everyone and getting settled in at Judson. [sigh]

Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you…

it was Kendra's 21st birthday on Saturday. Happy late birthday Kendra! I hope you had a fun birthday, and I really hope I get to see you soon!!

Simple Woman's Daybook-- Week 2

For Today…August 11th, 2008

Outside my Window…I see the cloudy sky and green grass from the recent rain.

I am thinking…that it is so hard to wait for my camera. Sound familiar? Well we went to BestBuy and they had to order it. There were only two left for the states of Minneapolis and North Dakota. Phew! So I'm thankful that it should be here on Friday (finally!).

I am thankful for… ^[see above]^

From the kitchen… not much. We were gone today.

I am wearing…a teal shirt and a white khaki skirt.

I am reading… Let Me Be a Woman by Elisabeth Elliot.

I am hoping… I can go to Susan's house tomorrow.

Around the house… it is mostly quiet.

One of my favorite things… getting new clothes for really good prices. Not my best deal but today, I got an $80 jacket for 18.

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week…maybe Susan's house tomorrow, babysitting on Wednesday, housework etc the rest of the week.

Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you…

Babies are cute.

The Simple Woman Daybook

I tried to post this yesterday, but for some reason pictures were not loading.

For Today…August 4th, 2008
Outside my Window…I see the sun setting in my frontyard

I am thinking…that it is so hard to wait for my camera. My d40x couldn't get reapired because of a part not made anymore. So I get to pick out a new one. I'm getting a d80. But first Mom and I have to find a time to go to Bismarck. (And my teeth, or lack thereof, are doing splendidly for those of you who care :)
I am thankful for…the fact that my mom and I got all of my grandma's stuff in boxes (it took five hours).
From the kitchen… cheeseburgers. I can actually eat most foods now!
I am wearing…a blue shirt (shocker, I know!), a jean skirt and a blue watch.
I am reading…techically this blog post. Otherwise, (aside from the Bible) Let Me Be a Woman by Elisabeth Elliot.
I am hoping… I can get more books read this summer and my lap blanket that I'm crocheting done.

Around the house… my mom is talking on the phone and I can hear Scott screaming, or just making his usual noises (its hard to tell)
One of my favorite things… reading the Bible with my brother Andrew. Last night I fell asleep with him after prayers. :)

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week…cleaning for a lady in town tomorrow, babysitting on Wednesday, decorating the rec room on Thursday, a movie at camp on Saturday and church on Sunday! (By the way, we got a new pastor, and he is AWESOME!)
Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you…

I am so blessed to get to live in the country! =)
