For Today...
Outside my window... it is simply beautiful!
I am thinking... about all the thank you notes that need to be written... from both Addie's and Nina's parties.
I am thankful for... my cousin's baby girls being healthy despite arriving about six weeks early. Welcome to the world Ashley and Abbie!
From the kitchen... salmon on the grill, rice pilaf, salad, and rolls.
I am creating... Nina's 8 year letter... or at least I should be creating it.
I am going... out to lunch with an old middle/high school friend today.
I am reading... Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly by Anthony Bourdain. The longer I read this book, the more I dislike it. The kindle is telling me I'm about 80% done though, so I'm determined to slog through to the finish.
I am hoping... same as usual.... hoping to solve the mystery of Elise's cough. She coughed to the point of throwing up this morning. We had this discussion:
Me: "Elise, would you like left-over pizza in your lunchbox today?"
Elise: "No! The pizza made me throw up."
Me: "Really? When? Where?"
Elise: "This morning. In my room."
Me: "Where in your room? Did you clean it up?"
Elise: "In the trashcan"
Me: "Did you clean it up?"
Elise: "It all went in the trashcan."
Me: "But did you clean out the trashcan????"
Elise: "Uh, no."
Lovely. Can you imagine the stench later today if we hadn't had that conversation?
I am hearing... the housekeeper's radio.
Around the house... things are pseudo-tidy.
One of my favorite things... the sunshine!
A few plans for the rest of the week.... volunteering in Elise's class, winter festival at Addie's school, and cookie booths all weekend long.
Here is a picture thought I am sharing... and so it begins. <sigh>
