FOR TODAY January 5, 201
Outside my window… dark. It was pretty warm today — warm enough to wear short sleeves. *ducks the flying debris thrown at her from places in the country with windchill warnings around -40F*
I am thinking… about the silliness surrounding Kanye’s announcement of his collaboration with Paul McCartney. Generation gap, anyone?
I am thankful… for a good visit with my family and for Daniel going back to school today.
In the kitchen… the dishwasher is running.
I am wearing… plum-colored shirt and running shorts.
I am praying for… Mary Lenaburg, some special intentions, a call for Jon, and a few other things.
I am going… to have a full morning of meetings on Wednesday. Whee!
I am pondering… the comma in the first article of the Nicene Creed: “of all that is, seen and unseen” and the theological ramifications of most people skipping the pause it signifies. (I’m serious… it’s hard being a grammar nazi with 1.5 degrees in Religion and Theology!)
I am reading… Scorched Eggs by Laura Childs. I think I was the first one in the LA County library system to get to read it, given that I called up the main number and requested it before it was even officially listed on the website..
I am hoping… I don’t wake up with too much of a kink in my neck.
I am looking forward to… my mother-in-law’s Birman coming in so I can go to bed. (I offered to stay up and wait for him.)
I am hearing… the humming of the refrigerator and the Mint cleaning my bedroom floor. (If I’m going to be torturing myself with my yoga mat and Core ball tomorrow, I’d kind of like a clean floor on which to beat myself up whilst working out.)
Around the house… my mother-in-law and Jon moved the dining room and kitchen furniture around. I think it looks fabulous.
A favorite quote for today… “Be not afraid of greatness. Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and others have greatness thrust upon them.” ? William Shakespeare, Twelfth Night
(Wasn’t that line at the beginning of the Veggie Tales video on Esther?)
One of my favorite things… a quiet house.
A few plans for the rest of the week: walks with Daniel, working out for me, triennial IEP evaluation meeting and paperwork on Wednesday, choir practice on Wednesday, and a few phone calls and errands thrown in for good measure.
A peek into my day… So a few things came in for me at the library while I was in San Jose…

I so wish it were warm enough for short sleeves…. as I sit her in a sweat shirt, yoga pants and buried under a thick warm blanket! That is a lot of books to read! Have a great week!
