Shaded Gray Daybook ~ September 11, 2008

Outside my Window … It is starting to get dark...which means bed time is near!!

I am thinking … I stayed up way too long last night - I'm pooped.


I am thankful for … Friends - old and new - I am really enjoying catching up with my best friend from high school. We haven't talked in a really long time.


From the kitchen … A hodge-podge dinner tonight. Jordan had bagel bites - Myles had chicken fingers and carrots - Terrance had a sandwich and I had a frozen dinner. We have meals like that every now and then - where everyone is eating something different because I didn't plan anything.


I am creating … I think I might just take this line out...I.Don't.Create...


I am going … To take the dog out in a while and put Myles to bed in about 10 minutes.


I am wearing … Jammie pants and a tank top - my favorite kind of clothes to wear.


I am reading … I am thisclose to finishing House of Wolves by Matt Bronleewe. It hasn't been too bad. I will then go on to finish Return to Summerhouse by Jude Deveraux - I started it a while ago, I just laid it down and haven't finished it.


I am hoping... For a quiet weekend. Last weekend was VERY hectic. Going - Going - Going!!


I am hearing … Hannah Montana in the background and Abby eating her dog food in the kitchen.


Around the house … We got a cedar chest today from Steph. They needed the room and I have been coveting it for YEARS anyway. I was happy to take it.


One of my favorite things … Heroes on DVD. I got season 2 for my birthday but am re-watching season 1 first with Jordan.


A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week … Thankfully - the week is almost over. With all the ear problems last week - I am ready for this week to be over.


Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you… This is from Terrance's company picnic last weekend:


This is one of MANY rounds of chicken that Terrance cooked. We had LOTS of chicken.

This is Myles - just being cheesy!!
