Today

Outside my window...it's still early, but it is a beautiful day.  Birds are singing.  The sun is shining.  And it doesn't feel very humid.

In the kitchen...there are a few dirty dishes, no milk, and a cake mix is sitting on the counter that Libby intended to bake on Monday and I am hoping she will bake tonight.  :-)

I am thinking...about the odd twists and turns of fate. 

I am grateful...for my family- all of them.

I am praying... more with my children. It feels good.

I am wondering...if I have anything clean to wear to work.

I am studying... Real Estate Law.  Yes, it is as exciting as it sounds.

I am resolving...to wake up tomorrow morning at 5:00 a.m. and go to fitness boot camp.  I woke up yesterday at 5:00 a.m. to go and heard rain and thunder, so I went back to sleep.  But I will try again tomorrow.  (It's outside, so I wasn't the only one who didn't go!)

I am thankful...for long-time friends.  For good music.  For the blood of Christ.  For hot, running water.  For air conditioning.  For my job and my coworkers and the continual supply of awesome people I get to meet and work with.  And for cold Dr. Pepper-which I should't be drinking so much of, but which tastes soooooo good.

I am wearing...one of my favorite nightgowns.  I bought one (at Target) and liked it so much, I went back and got three more so that I now have one in every pattern they had available. 

Around the house...things are relatively clean because I had last weekend to myself.  I've also been doing some decorating with awesome things I find at my store.  I LOVE working in a thrift store.  Call me crazy.

I am reading...Real Estate Law, The Bible, and not a whole lot more.  I wish I had more time to read.

I am going...to pick up my car from the shop today and hope it actually makes it home this time!

I am looking forward to...seeing my family this summer.  And spending time with Beth and Misty (I hope we weren't just "talking" girls, because I was serious!)

Some picture to leave you with....

The lovely Libby.
