A Woman’s Daybook   for February 10, 2010

Outside my window...I know so many of my friends are dealing with record breaking snow, but we are unseasonably warm. It’s an early spring for an early Lent.  Right now, it’s raining.

I am thinking...I will never learn my numbers in Russian. 

I am thankful for...oh so much.

From the learning rooms…semester ended for the X-man, one of his new classes is a volunteer position at the elementary.

From the kitchen...cheesy, yummy food. Probably pizza tonight.

I am wearing...the cutest new skirt that Dh saw when we were wandering around the mall  a couple of weeks ago – and correctly stated I’d love it (it’s a short, green wool skirt with buttons)  a black turtleneck, black tights, and a pair of Clarks. 

I am creating...nothing at the moment. I’m in an Artist Class,   and have faithfully downloaded each project, bought a lot of found items for it, and still not had the time to complete a thing.

I am going...God willing, to be a Godmother this weekend to a delightful young woman and friend.

I am reading...Yesterday, I finished City of Shadows  by Ariana Franklin – slightly anachronistic, but a riveting read with a great twist that I enjoyed. I am reading a bit of brain candy, one of the Moreland Dynasty books  

I am hoping...guess what, still hoping that the Oldest gets a job. ARgggggggg. 

I am hearing...I’m not usually a big Pearl Jam fan, but I’m loving their new song. 

Around the house...we are trying to feed one cat salmon food* since the duck doesn’t agree with her, and the other cat duck since the salmon doesn’t agree with her. Dh and the X-man think we should compromise on chicken. And, I’m pondering why a vegetarian buys duck, salmon and chicken. 

One of my favorite things...Conversation hearts   – and I’m surprised that I’ve not seen them a lot this year.

A few plans for the rest of the week…I am really busy for the rest of the week – Russian class tonight, a movie  with a friend tomorrow night, a day of meetings on Friday, and the Baptism and Forgiveness Sunday this weekend. I have something I should be doing on Saturday, but frankly, I may skip it. 

Don’t forget…Middlemarch starts on Monday!

*huh. I had no idea Dick Van Patten was involved in cat food production.
