FOR TODAY<\/strong> August 16, 2015<\/p>\n Outside my window…<\/strong> dark. It was over 100F in San Jose today which did not make me a happy Jen. We also have smoke from the wildfires in the northern part of the state so it’s not good air for walks with the small child. *makes mental note to go in and record miles walked in the last week on MapMyRun<\/a>*<\/p>\n I am thinking…<\/strong> about things in the coming week.<\/p>\n I am thankful…<\/strong> for the time with my parents. It’s been a good week with them and I’ve gotten to get together with a few people including Rebecca<\/a>.<\/p>\n In the kitchen…<\/strong> Dad made hot dogs again tonight.<\/p>\n I am wearing…<\/strong> jammies (charcoal v-neck from Old Navy<\/a> and black capri sweats from Target<\/a>).<\/p>\n I am going…<\/strong> to the store tomorrow for more apple juice for Daniel.<\/p>\n I am wondering…<\/strong> about a lot of things right now.<\/p>\n I am reading…<\/strong> The Alpine Yeoman<\/u> by Mary Daheim for the third time. (2nd re-read this time.)<\/p>\n I am hoping…<\/strong> for resolution in some areas of my life.<\/p>\n I am looking forward to…<\/strong> a mall date with Rebecca to get some Giants socks. I’m going to my first MLB baseball game in a few weeks and it’s at Dodger Stadium so I can’t wear my Giants stuff. Before I even knew about the game, Jon and my priest were negotiating the terms. I can’t wear my Lincecum shirt (which I only have because they weren’t selling Romo shirts at Target<\/a>) but I can wear Giants socks. I am also not allowed to boo Kershaw or Puig, which I think is completely unfair.<\/p>\n I am hearing…<\/strong> David Wesley<\/a> singing on YouTube. (He’s a Canadian Christian version of Peter Hollens<\/a>.)<\/p>\n A Daniel story for today…<\/strong> He’s been taking over closets at my parents’ house and playing with his tablet in them.<\/p>\n Around the house…<\/strong> silence as I think everyone is likely asleep.<\/p>\n A favorite quote for today…<\/strong> “When I pray for another person, I am praying for God to open my eyes so that I can see that person as God does, and then enter into the stream of love that God already directs toward that person.” — Philip Yancey<\/p>\n One of my favorite things…<\/strong> Coca-Cola which is pretty much banned at my parents’ house – my mom got me some one night when I needed “comfort food” (I’m weird, OK?) and she was referring to it as “hemlock”. Whenever I’d take a sip, I would say, “mmmmm… minty!” (According to a murder mystery, hemlock tastes minty.)<\/p>\n A few plans for the rest of the week:<\/strong> drive back down to LA and whatever else comes up.<\/p>\n A peek into my day…<\/strong> Daniel and I in the redwoods.<\/p>\n Hosted by The Simple Woman<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" FOR TODAY August 16, 2015 Outside my window… dark.
