FOR TODAY October 12, 2014
Outside my window… dark. It was in the mid 80’s today which is so wonderful compared to the triple digit temps of a week or so ago.
I am thinking… about all I need to do before leaving for San Jose on Wednesday morning.
I am thankful… for a fun day: singing with the contemporary worship team at church this morning (“contemporary” in that everything we sang was written in the 20th century — the “contemporary” period in classical music) and heading to the birthday party of Jon’s best friend’s oldest daughter who turned 6 today. Her mom was in labor with her when I found out that I was pregnant with Daniel. It was a Frozen-themed party (surprise surprise) and they had a bouncy castle. Daniel enjoyed himself and I even got to bounce a little bit in the bouncer under the guise of making sure Daniel was OK in there. Other moms were looking at me and telling me that I was brave for going in it. I shrugged and told them about how much fun I was having.
In the kitchen… cleaned up after making my dinner (black bean and jack burrito from Trader Joe’s).
I am wearing… gray v-neck and capri sweats.
I am praying for… travel mercies for my drive on Wednesday, some special intentions, and a call for Jon.
I am going… to see if I can’t get some more CD’s at a heavily discounted price at the Office Depot which is going out of business.
I am reading… Evolving in Monkey Town by Rachel Held Evans.
I am hoping… to get some decent sleep tonight.
I am looking forward to… seeing my parents on Wednesday.
I am hearing… some John Michael Talbot on iTunes.
Around the house… silence.
A favorite quote for today… “I have learned now that while those who speak about one’s miseries usually hurt, those who keep silence hurt more.” — C.S. Lewis
One of my favorite things… listening to good music.
A few plans for the rest of the week: dental work tomorrow, various things on Tuesday, and driving to San Jose on Wednesday.
A peek into my day…
It was Contemporary Sunday today so I ditched some of my prettier clothes in favor of a simple v-neck shirt and my faded denim skirt.
(Ignore the smudgy prints on the mirror. I have a small child who is entranced by his own image.)
Shirt: Foot Locker
Skirt: Hand-me-down from my sister-in-law who probably thrifted it.
Flip-flops: Old Navy
Here’s a picture showing how long my skirt actually is:
