Hearts and Gizzards: The Simple Woman's Daybook for Thursday, May 31, 2012

Outside my window … Cloudy skies hold the blessed prospect of rain and cooler temperatures.

I am thinking... about how to market my craft business better. 

I am thankful... for open doors and new opportunities.  I’m thankful for the first 40 years.  Now let’s see if I can vastly improve the next 40.

In the kitchen...  I’ve just had no real appetite lately, so I’m just not sure.

I am wearing... workout clothes.  I went to the track to walk, but only got in ½ a mile.  I’m just not with it today.

I am creating... finished my first barn painting.  Got a flower pot to finish painting, then on to 4^th of July items.

I am going...I went to the track and took mom to run some errands, but I’m not planning on going anywhere else.

I am wondering...about a couple of situations in my life and what to do about them.

I am reading...The book Look Great Feel Great by Joyce Meyer was recommended to me.  It was on my list of books to read, but I was urged to move it up to “next.”

I am hoping...to have my own house.

I am looking forward to...Tulsa trip.

I am learning… it doesn’t matter.

Around the house... ditto

I am pondering...  why I am paying so much for internet service that never works consistently.  The people at AT&T should be ashamed of themselves and so should their technical “support”.

A favorite quote for today... I am not old.  I’m a recycled teenager.

One of my favorite things... baby kisses.

A few plans for the rest of the week:  CR on Friday (maybe), Church homecoming Sunday.

A peek into my day...

UPDATE (02/17/13):  I abolutely loathed that painting.  I painted something else over it that was much better and gave it away.

Shooting the Elephant: The Simple Woman's Daybook for Wednesday, May 30, 2012

Outside my window … Drawn shades and the whir of the box fan.  The rain made the night nice and cool

I am thinking... about redoing my blog (for reasons I cannot disclose). 

I am thankful... for the rain we got last night.

In the kitchen...  I ate leftovers from my dinner, but I’m not really hungry, so I don’t know.

I am wearing... haven’t dressed yet.

I am creating... Still working on paintings.  Going to look up independence day patterns to make items to sell.

I am going...I have church tonight.  Taking mom to the grocery store.  Not sure if I’m going anywhere else.

I am wondering...???

I am reading...I give up on the worship book right now.  I need to catch up on my Etsy and leadership e-mails.

I am hoping...to adopt children one day.

I am looking forward to...???
 
I am learning… ???

Around the house... ???

I am pondering...  ???
