My Simple Woman's Daybook - 11/03/2008

Outside my Window... Gorgeous Fall day, bright blue skies, some color left in the leaves - a day worth going out and enjoying some fresh air! I am thinking... about elections tomorrow. Want to make SURE you're voting for the candidate who thinks like you do? Try this! I am thankful for... My husband taking the next two days off. I love it when he's home! From the kitchen... Chicken thawing for tonight's dinner, counters need to be cleaned and trash needs to go out. I am wearing... Jeans, long-sleeved white shirt, socks and sneakers. And I'm thinking about putting on a sweater! I am reading... "The Story of Edgar Sawtelle" by David Wroblewski. So far (one-third through) I'm not sure what all the fuss is about. It's good, but so many people have called it great! I am hoping... my back will continue to feel better all day. I am creating... placemats from that Mary Englebreit craft book I can't stay away from! Also, knitting socks for Christmas presents. I am hearing... Joey meowing to go out, the bubbling of the aquarium. Around the house... Too much dust, too much stuff laying around -- need to definitely do a good general pick up today. One of my favorite things... the new Mary Englebreit craft book I picked up at the flea market yesterday. Full of so many exciting ideas! A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week... Errand day today, voting tomorrow, a creative day with friend Lynne, two days of babysitting - hmmm... when will I do housework?! Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you... One of my favorite quilt borders that I've done (the flowers are 3-D). Hey, I need to get this quilt quilted! I'd forgotten how pretty it is!
