The List

One of my favorite things as a blogger is to receive comments on my posts. Yesterday, I received a nice comment from a new reader. It made my day. I went to her blog to post a thank you and was so happy that I did. It is a really good, inspirational site and I immediately added it to my favorites. I only a had few minutes to look over some of her posts but she had one a few days ago that peaked my interest. It was a simple listing. And so, with thanks to Faith at Gold in the Clouds, and the hope that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, I have created my own answers to the list.

It is a pleasant respite from a lengthy blog entry - my brain didn't have to work too hard this morning. I hope you don't mind, but will rather use it to get a glimpse inside my sleep-deprived life in this moment on this early Thursday morning.

THE LIST!

Outside my Window..my backyard, Hannah's yard toys strewn everywhere - needs tidied up for sure. Also my two metal deck chairs one turned toward the window and one facing out -- wonder who did that?
I am thinking...my puppy sure does bite and bark a lot!
I am thankful for...my life, my friends and my family. Oh - and that I put a Coke in the fridge at 5 AM, cause it is frosty and cold right now - just when I needed it!
From the kitchen...grilled cheese sandwiches for breakfast!
I am creating...a series of devotions and a new quilt. I should be creating some scrapbook pages - but I can't get motivated!
I am going....slightly crazy.
I am wearing...brace yourself, this is good -- my black yoga pants (which is hysterical, cause I have never done yoga - but I do enjoy the pants!), my old, worn-in, ripped neck, I LOVE IRELAND t-shirt and my daughter, who is currently hanging on my neck!
I am reading...The Shack, Stepping Up - Bible study by Beth Moore and a book written by a high school friend.
I am hoping...the day passes quickly and with little drama.
I am hearing...ICE AGE, The Meltdown playing in the playroom, Tony Soprano talking here in the kitchen (of course on the tv - he is not really here for heaven sake!!) and the soft snore of HB at my feet.
Around the house...Dining room still holds suitcases from our beach trip that need to be taken to the attic, bedroom holds a suitcase from my weekend getaway that needs to go there too. Oh and the front room holds a bunch of toys that need to go SOMEWHERE!! I am sure there is some laundry lying around here that needs to be done - otherwise - things are pretty okay here.
One of my favorite things...a frozen Snickers bar!
A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week..hoping for a date with my husband, a little shopping over the weekend at Bath and Body Works and as little cooking as possible.

So, leave me some comments with answers to your own list. If you have a blog, post your answers there and leave me your link. I would love to see what the bloggity readers are doing this morning.

Living Happily Ever After,
