Living Simply

Hi! Chelle here...I was following the links on some of the blogs I like to check on and found this gem...The Simple Woman's Daybook. I really like the concept and had to fill in my own answers. I want to do this each week...remind myself what is really important.

FOR TODAY (06/22/09)...

Outside my window...the swimming pool is shimmering in the sunlight while the evening shadows begin to sneak across the water.

I am thinking...about really getting the picturesque times blog going along with the photography and digi-scrapping business.

I am thankful for...home, the loved ones who make up my family, sports and big screen tvs, iced tea on hot summer days, my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, laptop computers, Harry Potter books (reading one now).

From the learning rooms...Kenzie (my niece) drawing at the table in the dining room. Going to make a “Scrapbook Portfolio” out of her drawings.

From the kitchen...there is nothing going on in that room. Don’t’ feel like cooking tonight. Toyed with the idea of making a Pistachio Torte today...even bought the pistachio pudding...but tomorrow will work just as well.

I am wearing...plaid shorts, sleeveless top, no shoes, no makeup and one set of earrings (never got around to putting the other two sets in).

I am creating...a summer 08 scrapbook, the above-mentioned scrapbook portfolio and a dent in the couch (from sitting here too long...).

I am going...to have an apple (Fugi) and peanut butter, some Hershey Kisses and surf the net while watching the game.

I am reading...Harry Potter & the Sorcerer’s Stone.

I am hoping...that Texas wins Game 1 of the College World Series against LSU tonight.

I am hearing...the whirr of the ceiling fan.

Around the house...things are quiet...definitely not normal. Kenzie is the only company and she is playing on her Nintendo DS, Nanny is watching the ballgame, reading during the commercials and nursing a toothache, Jim Tom is watching the game and messing around on his laptop and who knows what Cody is doing in his room.

One of my favorite things...is watching sports...from the couch or the bleachers, it doesn’t matter to me. Love the competition.

A few plans for the rest of the week: continue to work through “Photoshop CS4 Digital Classroom” book...so much to learn since I just moved up from PS Elements, finish the Summer 08 scrapbook, get the layouts sold this past weekend emailed for approval, celebrate Texas winning the College World Series (;D).
