Daybook ~ June 11, 2009

Outside my Window ... it is beautiful!! We had a fairly major storm come through this morning - it was so dark it looked like night!! - but the clouds have parted - and it's gorgeous.

I am thankful for ... funds that are available to pay for Jordan's braces. They are going to cost $6000!!! ((can you believe it???)) We have already put $3000 down (Thank you Flex-Pay) and will only have to make the monthly payments for 10 months before I will have more Flex-Pay money and be able to pay it all off.

From the kitchen ... spaghetti for dinner tonight. I am suffering from a visit from "Aunt Flo" - lol - and plan on taking it easy.

I am wearing ... black pants and a brown sleeveless shirt - can't wait to go home to my jammies.

I am reading ... Informed Consent by Sandra Glahn - yet another book my sister has loaned me.

I am hoping ... to do nothing tonight and wait for these darn cramps to go away.

I am hearing ... I am listening to/watching The West Wing - Season 2. Steph has been after me for years to watch this show - and I have finally broken down and tried it...and it's good - I hate to admit it - that I like a show about a ton of Democrats - but it's good. The writing is excellent and the acting is great.

Around the house ... Elizabeth is coming to spend the night for the first time this weekend. She is terrified of dogs - so she should have a minor nervous breakdown when she sees Nico. It should be fun though.

One of my favorite things ... it is about 3 weeks until the 4th of July. I really like the 4th of July. It's probably my second favorite holiday. I love the feeling that everyone is so patriotic. I also like to go to watch the Smyrna fire works display - we go every year and love it.

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week ... It's going to be a fairly slow weekend - compared to the ones we've had lately. We have an anniversary reception to go on Saturday for a couple in our church that have been married for 50 years - we are bringing Elizabeth home Saturday night and then celebrating Travis' birthday on Sunday...guess it's not as slow as I thought.

Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you ... We have had Nico for 4 months and 6 days...and he is 27 times bigger than when we got him...lol. I thought we got a dog...I think we got a horse.
