For Today...November 17, 2009
Outside my window...the sun is low and there is absolutely no wind or cars driving by. The only thing moving is the pendant on the wind chime, swaying indifferently.
I am thinking about... the fact that I have a job interview at Starbucks tomorrow! I am really looking forward to (hopefully) not working at Express anymore and having my own benefits!
I am thankful for...God's presence in my life and the grace that he extends me daily. I am thankful for small victories. I am thankful for good days, but I'm trying to also be thankful for the bad ones. I am thankful for my family and friends. Most of all, I am so very thankful for my rock, my husband.
From the Kitchen...Rob and I have eaten so well lately! We have cooked ribeye, pork chops with spiced apple pan sauce, lettuce wraps and ratatouille! Some of those have been more successful and tasty than others, but cooking is fun! Next I want to do attempt some holiday baking...yum.
I am wearing...jeans and a pink shirt, no shoes. I wore my cute brown skirt suit to work with the pink shirt.
I am reading...On the Road by Jack Kerouac and really enjoying it so far. I've read more books for fun since I've been married than I have read in years: Both Pygmy and Lullaby by the criminally insane but brilliant Chuck Palahuniuk, The Road by the amazing Cormac McCarthy, Coraline by Neil Gaiman, Weetzie Bat by Francesca Lia Block... and I started Pride and Prejudice but I really haven't liked it that much. It's nice to have time to read for fun again.
I am praying...for patience, self-confidence, and contentment...and a good job with benefits!
I am hoping...to get the Starbucks job because it would mean a little more money coming in every month! Money isn't everything, but the bill collectors don't know that!
I am creating...not as much as I want to! I want to write and craft more. I am wanting to make all my Christmas presents to save money, so I am looking forward to that!
Around the house...I cleaned yesterday, so it actually looks pretty good! Gus is snoozing under the dining table and Oprah is on...things are always so exciting around here!
One of my favorite things...uncontrollably laughing with my husband.
