The Simple Woman's Daybook 1/16/12

FOR TODAY JAN 16, 2012

Outside my window...It is dark as I am typing this at 9:39pm

I am thinking...I should be in bed but am enjoying the "alone" time while everyone is in bed.

I am thankful...Warm fleece blankets

In the kitchen...Not much today. Bella and I had a girls day out so we had lunch at Corner Bakery and dinner at Kara's Korner.

I am wearing...Yoga pants, T-shirt and cardigan

I am creating...Cross-stitch blanket with a fleece backing. Bella and I picked up supplies today for some Valentines Day decorations.

I am going...To my first quilting class on Wednesday. I am very excited.

I am wondering...When our puppy will stop chewing EVERYTHING.

I am reading...Touched by Angels by Debbie Macomber.

I am hoping...To finish purging all the clothes closets and drawers by the end of the week.

I am looking forward to...Sunday's football games and spending time with friends again.

I am learning...To live with a Toy Yorkie puppy....they are small but destructive.

Around the house...Everyone is asleep, including above mentioned puppy. Avatar is playing on TV. I think I am the last person to see this movie.

I am pondering...Maybe because it is late, but nothing right now.

A favorite quote for today..."Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that." - Martin Luther King, Jr.

One of my favorite things...Cheesecake. I had the best cheesecake ever tonight.

A few plans for the rest of the week: Work, quilt class and more work.

A peek into my day...Bella enjoying her favorite lunch at Corner Bakery.
