I can play with my template forever and still not be happy with it. I need to stop — I can always keep making it prettier — enough tinkering. And so, to get to know me, I offer an introductory daybook as formatted by the Simple Woman.
Outside my window it is dreary and grey. It is the kind of day that makes my eyes hurt — I need to turn on the lights to see what I’m doing. It’s that age thing.
I am thinking that I ought to put this away and get the 3 year old dressed so we can run to Home Depot. I need to pick up some clamps to hold up the yards of black fabric I bought the other day as backdrop for pictures for my 6 month old.
I am thankful for a gigglying baby boy, even when he spits up all over me and the floor and the dog.
From the kitchen: the remainder of the banana bread is going very quickly. It’s especially good when it’s lightly toasted and covered with butter. Yum!
I am wearing. capris and they are not nearly warm enough for the weather. Isn’t it May? Why is it still cold?
I am creating a blog! Ha! Well and also attempting to alter a pretzel box into something pretty as a craft for my daughter’s upcoming slumber party. Oh, and planning that party and hopefully getting the e-vites out soon…
I am going to put up several posts and update my twitter account.
I am reading Mariette in Ecstasy based on the Anchoress’s recommendation. Not far enough to have an opinion. In some ways it reminds me of This House of Brede (maybe just because it’s about cloistered nuns?).
I am hoping the sun will come out today. I wanted to take Luke’s 6 month portrait today.
I am hearing two puppies playing and tugging on a dog toy. India is a small black lab mix and Pixie is a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.
Around the house too many things need cleaning and putting away. Maybe if I just shut my eyes tighter they will all go away. Sigh, no such luck!
Here is picture for thought I am sharing:
