The Simple Woman's Daybook

These prompts come from something called The Simple Woman’s Daybook that I first saw over on Janet’s blog. I didn't study up on it too hard, or research what it was all about admittedly, but I just thought I'd put it up and share it for fun... No tags, just thoughts.

It's Good Friday so I hope yours is good. :)

1. Outside my window…I see an empty street and impending rain.

2. I am thinking…I wish I could be more motivated and accomplished. I'm bored right now.

3. I am thankful for… My family, and all times when things end up ok after I worried I wouldn't get through them.

4. From the kitchen… I run screaming from the cluttered table and dirty dishes!

5. I am wearing… 2 day worn work pants and a slouchy t-shirt, what a bum. :(

6. I am creating… even more negativity if I don't change my thought patterns right now!

7. I am going… to a birthday dinner tonight and then Mom's house tomorrow evening... I'm going to start accomplishing more goals too... I am.

8. I am reading… my own words and hoping I can do better.

9. I am hoping… for so many things! For the health and prosperity of my friends and remaining family, for the healing and recovery of a friend's father, for my financial troubles to subside, and for life to feel really good again.

10. I am hearing… the t.v. in the other room, and the fan running on my husband's p.c.

11. Around the house… things are unorganized and chaotic, but I am going to try hard to make things better. The only person who can ultimately change me, is ME.

12. One of my favorite things… is my motorcycle!

13. Here is a picture I’m sharing:

Do you know, we share a birthday! I just saw that on your sidebar :-)

My nana once said to me (and she could be a bit harsh) when I told her I was bored, "If you're bored, you're boring." That has stuck with me all these years, and I swear to all that's evil I've never been bored since. LOL!

Since I've started decluttering the house, I've had more of a feeling of peace. I look at pictures of the house from when my parents first bought it and it wasn't filled with "things", it was filled with hope. Now...it's slowly getting back to that.

When Potato Salad Goes Bad

Image
I have always loved Far Side cartoons... this one about Potato Salad going bad was one of my favorites. Just the mental image of spoiled food pulling a gun gives me a giggle. Larson rules. However, bad food in the fridge is sometimes no laughing matter. I recently let some broccoli sprouts go beggin' and they tried to take the entire household hostage, guests and all. Funny thing about broccoli sprouts, they are against guns and drugs, and totally for Animal Rights but they carry tazers. It's really confusing, and a lesson hard learned. :) So anyway, yeah another make up post I did for yesterday. So sue me... not that it makes a big impact. We've had internet connection problems, which are still ongoing. The technician arrived in decent time and said our equipment was o.k., and that there had been an issue going on in our area, here and there... they were working on it. Maybe it will be resolved soon. I sure hope so, it's just agitating and it goes down at the worst tim...

Birthday Blast

Yes, I think I will just claim 15 again, and stay there. Looking back, my teen years were worry free. I mean, there was the bi-weekly broken heart and all, but geez. It was a time when people said, "You've got your whole life ahead of you." and it was still true... wait, well it's still true, just now there is less of it ahead of me. That's all. No, I actually didn't get a cake, or any kind of party... Didn't really care. Basically, I just took off two extra days and treated myself to a 4 day weekend in honor of my birthday. Today, June 22nd is the actual date. However, my honorary "celebration" of it began when I got off work Friday night. We met up with some friends at the Midtown Sekisui, and then came home to watch a few more episodes of "Weeds", a tv series that many of you are probably familiar with, one that my 'ol' man' got me hooked on. Finally we have finished the series thanks to Netflix Streaming , and can await...

Thirsty

For those of us who are a slave to the grind, we've almost made it through another work week, that's a great blessing! For those of you who don't have to report to anyone for your paycheck, well it's another beautiful day, so enjoy! Richie went back to work today after Monday's oral surgery, still felt a bit loopy he said but all-in-all it has been a swift recovery. I'm glad... I did the best I could to take care of him. So the weekend is in sight, and I'm trying to think of fun things to do. It's so hot weather-wise, and I don't mean to complain but I hate feeling sweaty and smelly. I like being pleasantly fragrant and sassy. Nothing much to report otherwise, so I will let you go with a few cute graphics about the heat, one of which I stole from BBC's blog again (he always has the funniest cartoons). So there you go. Happy Thursday. v
