in my brain

Things I am thinking about:
  • dance begins
  • football practice
  • a meeting tonight
  • new school for my son 
  • menu plans for my late nights
  • more car repairs
  • find that missing library book
  • pay some bills
  • ensure the calendar gets updated
  • water my tomatoes
  • new lead for the dog
  • list of movies to rent for later in the year 
  • heartsick daughter 
  • finding some more tights for the winter months
  • big grocery shop for the staples 
  • incidental school supplies

a full day

On a whim I decided to create a chemical reaction on my tile floor - vinegar and baking soda worked wonders to lift the grime caught in my grout.  Not by itself - a good dose of elbow grease is also required.  Which means the chore will last more than on Monday.  But, it is very satisfying. 

I spend a good couple of hours cleaning my floor - and then off to run errands.  I ended up in the vortex of a grocery store that is in the middle of a renovation.  Bad news.  It took me twice as long to find items.  I ended up going home without a few things on my list which meant I had to stop somewhere else and that turned out to be a GONG show.   3 hours later I was back at home. 

I was done.  I mixed up my choc chip cookie dough.  I prepared dinner.  I drove my daughter to dance.
She found a ride home which was a little gift to me that I gladly accepted.

Some cool things I discovered:

Keri Smith of Wish Jar is coming to my neck of the woods.  She is another person on my who I would like to meet list.  She is facing a bit of surgery this week so send her some good thoughts.

Sundays are For Lovers is a new book coming out.  You can pre order it here.

Friday recap

crows on the roof

  • I am on a YA fiction kick.  Research.  I have a small stack by my bedside:  Marcello in the Real World, The Astonishing Life of Octavian Nothing, Speak, and Sister Wife.
  • The weekend will be busy busy busy.  Our parish AGM is Sunday and there is still some stuff to do.  Dinner with friends.
  • We are watching Dexter and I am feeling a bit conflicted.  Need to figure out why.
  • Yesterday I cried at work out of sheer frustration.  The good news is my new manager had my back and was incredibly supportive.  The challenge is moving forward so that the experience is not repeated.  So much time was wasted.  Inefficient.  Lame.  Gah!
  • My children do not have to go to school today.  Nor Monday or Tuesday.  They are busy filling their social calendars. 
  • Thinking of changing my banner monthly... which means soon.  
  • I am just so glad January is almost over.
  • I am craving something lemony.
