Simple Woman's Daybook ~ Week of August 24, 2009

For Today:

Outside my window: are the crashing waves of the mighty Atlantic Ocean as they meet the sandy shore of North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

I am thinking: it is a total blessing to be here and enjoy this majestic display of God's might and power.

From the learning rooms: it is very important to slather on the sunscreen multiple times throughout the day while in the hot SC sunshine!!!

I am thankful for: my hubby's exceptionally hard work and that he is willing to share in the fruits of his labor by bringing me to this glorious place!

From the kitchen: just made myself a hot cup of my favorite tea and soon I'll be having a bowl of Raisin Bran Krisp w/ fresh fruit.

I am wearing: my bathing suit with the black skirt bottoms and multi-colored top

I am reading: my Bible, my new bible study "Me, Myself and Lies", and Chocolate Beach.

I am hoping: to continue having a gloriously fun vacation with my Sweetie!

I need: to get cracking on my assignment ~ I woke up this morning thinking "dang, it's due in a week and I forgot all about it".

I am creating: incredible memories, like yesterday's parasailing adventure (see my daily blog for more on that!)

I am hearing: the gentle whir of my laptop and somebody banging something in a condo above us (what are they doing at 8:45 am).

Around the house: signs of beach life... towels, beach chairs, flip flops.

One of my favorite things: hearing the sound of the ocean waves crashing

A few plans for the rest of the week: enjoying my hubby's company as we relax and explore on our vacation.

Here is a picture thought to share with you:

Simple Woman's Daybook ~ Week of August 10, 2009

For Today:

Outside my window: it is humid! The temperature is only 84 degrees, but the humidex/heat index says it feels like 102 with a severe thunderstorm watch... but at this moment it's sunny and looking like a perfect summer day (in my opinion after all our cool, rainy weather so far)

I am thinking: how much fun I had on the weekend with my sis & niece touring the 1000 Islands, but ooooh I may pay for it with all I have to do to prepare for vacation this week.

From the learning rooms: Asking myself "Is this wise?" in every decision I make as opposed to "Is it 'right' or 'wrong'?"

I am thankful for: the opportunity last week to billet in our home, 2 teenage girls ( LIT~leaders in training~ down from a summer camp up north to help out at our church day camp)

From the kitchen: all's quiet although I have been thinking of what to make for dinner... will probably do some fish, rice and broccoli

I am wearing: pink t-shirt, blue track pants (AC makes me cool inside) and slippers

I am reading: my Bible and books on writing fiction.

I am hoping: my hubby doesn't burn out from prepping for vacation at work ~ he's stressed with trying to get things caught up.

I need: get cracking on my assignment and organizing myself quickly.

I am creating: really poor fiction - lol It's so much harder than I imagined!

I am hearing: silence... pure, sweet, silence.

Around the house: a few souvenirs from my weekend.

One of my favorite things: exploring new places, like Singer Castle yesterday.

A few plans for the rest of the week: laundry, the next assignment for my course, touching base with friends, prepping for vacation...

Here is a picture thought to share with you:

Me with my 2 LIT girls we billeted/adopted for the week!

Simple Woman's Daybook ~ Week of August 3, 2009

For Today:

Outside my window: it is beautiful. The temperature is 77 degrees and the sun is shining and it's an all-round perfect summer day!

I am thinking: too many things at once: is the house ready for tonight's guests?; what will my mentor say about my assignment?; I'd better start on the next one so it's done before vacation...

From the learning rooms: Narrative Summary... but do I understand it? I'm not sure!

I am thankful for: great family bonding time these past couple weeks with family from NC and extended family in the area.

From the kitchen: hubby has put a roast in the oven and it smells DELISH!

I am wearing: pink t-shirt, brown shorts and flip flops

I am reading: my Bible and books on writing fiction.

I am hoping: to get focused again - my head feels a little discombobulated lately.

I need: to get caught up in blog hopping and blog writing.

I am creating: not much these days but I will need to start knitting soon once I find out what sex my niece's triplets are

I am hearing: the voice of my wonderful hubby as he just came in from the pool.

Around the house: things are looking in good shape considering house guests just left yesterday and new ones are coming tonight.

One of my favorite things: hanging out with my family.

A few plans for the rest of the week: laundry, starting the next assignment for my course, touching base with friends, prepping for vacation, commuting the students we're billeting to the church each morning.

Family Get-together... 18 are still missing from this pic!
