The Simple Woman's Daybook

For Today, April 9, 2013...

Outside my window...the clouds are covering up the sunshine, and a breeze has picked up.  Wonder if that means more rain?

I am thinking...about the many needs of my friends, and how I need to write them down so I can pray for them.

I am thankful for...the fact that I live in Florida.  I love it here.

I am going...to program the television so I don't forget to watch the Duggar's tonight.  I hate when that happens!  I often don't even have the TV on which only complicates matters.

I am wearing...a black and white summer dress with a red camisole underneath, and black sandals.  It's 81 degrees out so the lighter the better.

I am noticing...the temps in New York where my family lives are almost the same as our temps here.  That doesn't happen often in April!

In the kitchen...I made smothered pork chops - I made Tyler Florence's recipe found here - with buttered noodles and a salad.  Those chops are so delicious!

I am reading...Land of My Heart.  I just started it last night.  Got one chapter read before I started dozing off.  Not that the book is boring; I always doze off when I read at night.  My son E and I are also reading a chapter of Proverbs and of Psalms every night.

I am hoping...to get the oil changed on my car this week, before the coupon I got from Pep Boys expires.

I am looking forward to...Christ's return.  Are you?

I am hearing...my daughter singing and playing her guitar.

Around the house...I haven't done much because I've had errands to run every morning and helping my son E with his homework every afternoon.  I hope to get some stuff done tomorrow or Thursday.

A favorite quote of the day..."My great concern is not whether God is on our side; my great concern is to be on God's side." - Abraham Lincoln

One of my favorite things...getting a good deal on anything.

A few plans for the rest of the week...Awana tomorrow night, and helping my son prepare for exams next week.  It's FCAT time again (ugh!).
