The Simple Woman's Daybook 8/8/11

FOR TODAY

Outside my window... The same view as always from our dining room bay windows!  I see one side of my grandparents' house, some trees, our fence, the top of my grandparents' garage, and the bushes right outside our window.  I see a blue sky. 

I am thinking... About what I'll do for my next blog post!  I have a couple of ideas...I've been all out of them lately!

I am thankful... For what Jesus did for me.  I recently read an article that was written by a physician (Tommy Mitchell, I think).  It was called "Our Suffering Savior."  It told what all Jesus really went through.  This little bit stands out to me:  The whip used on him had pieces of broken glass and metal attached to it.  It made awful wounds.  And when the scarlet robe was put on him, it became even worse.  Every single time that he moved, the robe rubbed up against his wounds.  It was so.miserable.

From the learning rooms... Not much, really.  Mama did finish reading When God Writes Your Love Story today (see our most recent Faithful Friday posts). 

In the kitchen... I got a new cookbook!  Mama and Daddy's anniversary was July 31st.  They stayed in a cabin and brought me back a cookbook from the visitor's center in that area (and they brought Luke a little car).  Also, I'm going to be cooking supper for a whole week sometime soon.  I have plans already!

I am wearing... Pink shorts and a flowy tie-dye blue/pink/purple shirt.  I'm also wearing one of the necklaces I got from C*ina.  :) 

I am creating... Plans in my head!  Plans for supper, plans for blog posts, etc. 

I am going... To my first C*inese lesson on Friday (I'll tell you more about that later)!  I'm so excited!

I am wondering... When I'll finally get to go to C*ina again. 

I am reading... A book about--guess what--C*ina!  It's a novel about a girl growing up during the C*ltural R*volution. 

I am hoping... To sell lots of hairbows!

I am looking forward to... C*inese lessons on Friday!

I am hearing... My daddy talking. 

Around the house... Luke is taking a nap, Mama's working on her computer, Daddy's working on his computer/talking, and I'm working on my computer. 

I am pondering... Hmm...I'm mostly pondering what all I've been writing here.  I'm sort of lining up in my head what I need to do here on the computer.

One of my favorite things... Writing!

A few plans for the rest of the week: Tomorrow, Mama, Luke, and I are going to get up early and head over to the Antique Mall!  Woohoo!

Here is picture for thought I am sharing...

The Simple Woman's Daybook 7/18/11


FOR TODAY 7/18/11

Outside my window... It's getting close to 10:00 AM and the sun is shining! 

I am thinking... That I'm starting to get hungry for lunch!

I am thankful... For air conditioning and life in America

From the learning rooms... Well, school's out, but today we're starting our Science.  It's Creation science curriculum from Answers in Genesis.  Awesome ministry!

In the kitchen... We finished eating breakfast about an hour ago. 

I am wearing... My pajamas!

I am creating... A story.

I am going... To Dragon China with my mom on Wednesday.  We're going to meet the lady residents from the nursing home for their ladies' day out!  And then probably on Thursday to the carnival with my friend. 

I am wondering... Why we can't get the font we want for my mom's blog!

I am reading... When God Writes Your Love Story by Eric and Leslie Ludy (read aloud with Mama), George Muller by Geoff and Janet Benge, and the Diary of Ma Yan by Ma Yan

I am hoping... To go to China.

I am looking forward to... The Ladies' Day Out on Wednesday and the carnival.

I am hearing... Barney's Camping Trip.  Lol!  Luke's watching it...I think.  :) 

Around the house... Mama and I are on our computers, Luke's watching Barney, Dad's at work, Colt's at work, and who knows what the cat's doing!

I am pondering... This world is so evil.  The whole deal with Casey Anthony and her family, teens these days, etc. 

One of my favorite things... Spending time with my Mama and the rest of my family. 

A few plans for the rest of the week: Tuesday we're working on the Cedar Loft, Wednesday Mama will teach piano lessons and we might work a little bit and maybe go to Lowes, Thursday we might work a little and go to the carnival, and on Friday and Saturday I'm not sure. 

Here is picture thought I am sharing...
