\"Simple<\/p>\n

FOR TODAY<\/strong> May 12, 2014<\/p>\n

Outside my window…<\/strong> dark. It has gotten warm lately and it’s supposed to be 95F tomorrow. I am not amused.<\/p>\n

I am thinking…<\/strong> that my Netflix<\/a> membership is paying for itself in the seasons of Leverage<\/i> that I’m going through right now.<\/p>\n

I am thankful…<\/strong> that Daniel hasn’t come out to curl up with me — I might get some quiet prayer time tonight without having to think about getting the bear child back to bed.<\/p>\n

In the kitchen…<\/strong> dishes to do. Wheeeeeeee!!!<\/p>\n

I am wearing…<\/strong> purple Old Navy<\/a> shirt and black sweats from Target<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I am praying for…<\/strong> a special intention, for Daniel to keep developing speech, for peace in my life, and for Mairama Y., one of the young women in Nigeria who was kidnapped by Boko Haram.<\/p>\n

I am going…<\/strong> to enjoy my mani\/pedi tomorrow.<\/p>\n

I am wondering…<\/strong> what Ann Coulter was thinking<\/a> this weekend. I think the best one was “I am a miserable person who peddles hate to make money off of dumb Republicans.” Just sayin’.<\/p>\n

I am reading…<\/strong> Girl At the End of the World<\/u> by Elizabeth Esther. I finished Something Other Than God<\/u> by Jennifer Fulwiler yesterday and it was AWESOME.<\/p>\n

I am hoping…<\/strong> getting my calluses removed with a Dremel tool tomorrow isn’t too painful. They’re pretty bad.<\/p>\n

I am looking forward to…<\/strong> seeing my evil twin and his wife this weekend for the communal birthday celebration. I haven’t seen my sister-in-law since Thanksgiving and I haven’t seen the evil twin since March.<\/p>\n

I am hearing<\/strong> the clock belonging to Jon’s great-grandfather.<\/p>\n

Around the house…<\/strong> quiet right now. I’m thankful for it.<\/p>\n

I am pondering…<\/strong> so many things internally. Introvert, yo!<\/p>\n

A favorite quote for today…<\/strong> “Some people feel guilty about their anxieties and regard them as a defect of faith. I don’t agree at all. They are afflictions, not sins. Like all afflictions, they are, if we can so take them, our share in the Passion of Christ.” — C.S. Lewis, Letters to Malcom, Chiefly on Prayer<\/u><\/p>\n

One of my favorite things…<\/strong> silly house panthers who are claiming abuse and neglect. (Can you tell Edda is being a pest?)<\/p>\n

A few plans for the rest of the week:<\/strong> mani\/pedi tomorrow morning, ABA therapy for Daniel every afternoon this week, hair cut on Thursday, meeting and errands in Elk Grove on Friday, and spending Saturday with my parents.<\/p>\n

A peek into my day…<\/strong> “Come and I Will Sing You” by Great Big Sea. Lyrics and meanings are here<\/a>. It’s one that gets stuck in my head.<\/p>\n
