My Daybook 7

Outside my window...

One of the hottest days of the month but with a nice breeze occasionally. Blue skies cover my newly mowed lawn.

I am thinking...

About all of the clothes that I still need to put away. (I'm changing out my winter clothes in my closet and replacing them with summer clothes.)

From the kitchen...

Breakfast: Cereal
Lunch: Pizza Hut with my mom, grandmother, and two Aunts.

I am going...
To my bedroom to finish cleaning up my closet.
I am reading...

About to start "The Hiding Place" by Corrie ten Boon.

I am hoping...

That my aunt gets home safely tonight, that God will reveal to me His Will about some things, and that I stay in the center of His Will and not get caught up in just what I want.

I am hearing...

Quite. (And maybe the computer running, but that's it.) It always seems more peaceful in the afternoons at my house.

One of my favorite things...

Getting everything done on a list with time to spare.

My picture thought... (This is what the sky looks like at my house today.)

My Daybook 6

Outside my window...
One of the most beautiful days. It's sunny, warm and comfortable. Beautiful cumulus clouds cover the bright blue sky. It's beautiful.

I am thinking...
That I wish I was outside while I'm typing this. It really is beautiful!

From the kitchen...
-Breakfast: Ham and cheese croissant sandwich.
-Lunch: Leftovers (baked chicken smothered in BBQ sauce and a fried red potato).

I am going...
To take a nap and then drive to church.

I am reading...

"The Adventures Of Capt. John Smith" and "Jane Eyre".

I am hoping...
That John gets to California safely and that he has no trouble with all the layovers.

I am hearing...
The sound of a basketball game playing on the TV...my dad snoring (sorry dad)...someone's lawnmower running...and my grandmother doing something in her room.

One of my favorite things...
Flip flops (I like to keep things comfortable).

My picture thought...
Doesn't this look relaxing??

My Daybook 5

Outside my window...

The sun is setting at the end of a rainy day. The Arctic wind sends chills down my spine. I don't think that it could get any colder.

I am thinking...

That I love my parents so much and that I am thankful that God blessed me with them.

From the kitchen...

Breakfast: Scrambled eggs and a strawberry muffin.

Lunch: Chicken and cheese quesadilla Lean Pocket.

Supper: I don't know yet!

I am going...

To my room to practice my guitar for my lesson.

I am reading...

The Bible (always)

Jane Eyre (seems like always)

I am hoping...

That I can be better tomorrow as a daughter to my parents and a servant to my Savior.

I am hearing...

The sound of strong wind blowing a wind chime....cars driving by....stillness in my house.

One of my favorite things...

Having something revealed to me by God, and I knowing that that revelation could only have been Him that revealed it.

My picture thought...

I'm ready for the summer to come soon! In my life, summer=beach.

My Daybook 4

Outside my window...

A warm December night (I know warm and December usually don't go together). Darkness is present. Clouds cover the moon like a blanket.

I am thinking...

I have soo many gifts to wrap and soo much shopping still to do in soo little time (if you haven't counted lately, Christmas is in 10 days).

From the kitchen...

Breakfast: Strawberry Toaster Strudel and maple link sausage.

Lunch: Wendy's with my grandmother.

Supper: Not much because i've been sick, and I didn't feel well tonight, but I would have eaten fried salmon crochets, salad, and yeast rolls.

I am going...

To bed. I had a busy day shopping with my grandmother (aka Memaw).

I am wearing...

My bare feet, lounge pants, and a purple t-shirt with the words 'Go Ceiling' on the front (it was part of my fall festival costume- I was a ceiling fan...get it? Ceiling-fan? I know...I'm weird).

I am reading...

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. (I think I've been reading this book since the summer. I just don't seem to have time to read for fun lately.)

I am hoping...

That I will feel 100% better tomorrow night for the concert. That my guitar lesson goes really well. That my grandmother will get her short-term memory back.

I am hearing...

The sound of my fingers typing. Cars driving by my house. My mom re-arranging the kitchen. My Dad watching a Christmas movie.

One of my favorite things...

Decorating the Christmas tree with my mom.

My picture thought...

The reason we celebrate...

My Daybook 3

Outside my window...
The darkness clothes the house like a blanket...the temperature is cooler tonight than the night before...only light jackets are needed tonight.

I am thinking...
That my eyelids are not going to stay open long enough for me to go to Kohl's with my parents so that they can shop for a winter coat for Mother.
From the kitchen...

Mother made the "Family Buffet", consisting of the weeks leftover meats and vegetables. I picked out hamburger steak with gravy, baby Lima beans (I prefer to call them butter beans), and carrots and potatoes in a butter sauce with seasoning salt. Simply delicious! I know... they were just leftovers but when your hungry... anything taste good!

I am going...

After our trip to Kohl's...hopefully bed...I'm sooo tired!

I am wearing...

My favorite pair of dark washed Levi's, a hot pink, knit, long sleeve t-shirt, and cute black ballet flats with a silver buckle on the top.

I am reading...

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. (Good... but soo sad!)

I am hoping...

That my aunt and cousins will be safe traveling...that my cousin will get better.

I am hearing...

The sound of my grandmother and my mom talking...the television...news I think...my father getting seconds on supper...typing keyboard (oh that's me).

One of my favorite things...

A cell phone that holds a charge! YAY!

My picture thought...

A good place to be...ROLL TIDE! (I hope we win tomorrow!)

My Daybook 2

Outside my window...
The sky is full of grey clouds and the sun is trying to peak around them.
The leaves of the trees appear more green because of the rain two days ago. The temperature is still warm, but signs of fall are everywhere!

I am thinking...
That I would like to accomplish all of my assignments in a timely manner and do them all with a good attitude.

I'm thankful for...
God's protection from the recent storms and His marvelous grace that He has shown His servant this week.

From the kitchen...
I haven't even had breakfast yet! Hopefully some biscuits, sausage, eggs, grits, toast, bacon, etc. Ha! Now I'm dreaming!

I am going...
To a church function with my friend Lauren.

I am wearing...
An off white cotton t-shirt with blue plaid shorts. Wow, what a combination! They are my PJ's ya know!

I am reading...
The Bible with my mother every morning in our Bible study and I'm loving every minute of it!

I am hoping...
That I do well on my test at the end of this month.

I am hearing...
The sound of the TV in my grandmother's room...the sound of cleaner being sprayed, by my mother, in the master bathroom...the sound of typing...etc.

One of my favorite things...
Eating chocolate chip muffins with butter right after they have come out of the oven. YUM!
