FOR TODAY<\/strong> October 12, 2014<\/p>\n Outside my window…<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n I am thinking…<\/strong> about all I need to do before leaving for San Jose on Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n I am thankful…<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n In the kitchen…<\/strong> cleaned up after making my dinner (black bean and jack burrito from Trader Joe’s<\/a>).<\/p>\n I am wearing…<\/strong> gray v-neck and capri sweats.<\/p>\n I am praying for…<\/strong> travel mercies for my drive on Wednesday, some special intentions, and a call for Jon.<\/p>\n I am going…<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n I am reading…<\/strong> Evolving in Monkey Town<\/u> by Rachel Held Evans.<\/p>\n I am hoping…<\/strong> to get some decent sleep tonight.<\/p>\n I am looking forward to…<\/strong> seeing my parents on Wednesday.<\/p>\n I am hearing…<\/strong> some John Michael Talbot<\/a> on iTunes.<\/p>\n Around the house…<\/strong> silence.<\/p>\n A favorite quote for today…<\/strong> “I have learned now that while those who speak about one’s miseries usually hurt, those who keep silence hurt more.” — C.S. Lewis<\/p>\n One of my favorite things…<\/strong> listening to good music.<\/p>\n A few plans for the rest of the week:<\/strong> dental work tomorrow, various things on Tuesday, and driving to San Jose on Wednesday.<\/p>\n A peek into my day…<\/strong><\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n (Ignore the smudgy prints on the mirror. I have a small child who is entranced by his own image.)<\/p>\n Shirt:<\/strong> Foot Locker Here’s a picture showing how long my skirt actually is:<\/p>\n Hosted by The Simple Woman<\/a>. Go see the pretties<\/a> at Fine Linen and Purple<\/a> for more Sunday outfits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" FOR TODAY October 12, 2014 Outside my window… dark.
