FOR TODAY . . . November 15, 2011

Outside my window . . . it is cloudy and rainy. We are back into a relatively warm weather pattern. Last night at 9:00 it was 71 degrees (F)!

I am thinking . . . that pancakes were an excellent choice for breakfast this morning!

I am thankful . . . for feeling better! Yesterday was the first almost normal day I've had in weeks! Praise God!

From the learning rooms . . . ds missed two days of school last week with a cold, so we are in "make-up" mode around here.

In the kitchen . . . last night was baked bruschetta chicken, baked potatoes and lima beans. I am always amused at how my children can profess that there is nothing in the house to eat, and yet I can cook a delicious, well balanced meal without every leaving.

I am wearing . . . my nightgown and summer weight robe with my blue fake crocs.

I am creating . . . a wonderful crochet bag to carry my crochet projects in! Attic 24 has the most adorable bag/pattern.

I am going . . . . to work on my scuba skills this afternoon at the pool. I am really having trouble mastering clearing my mask under water. I tend to panic and get water up my nose which makes it very hard to blow out through my nose!

I am wondering . . . why reading has been so unappealing to me lately. I wonder if it's because I've been sick and on antibiotics. Sometimes reading is the hardest thing for me to do when I am sick.

I am reading . . . still reading Wicked by Gregory Maguire.

I am hoping . . . to get the menus and grocery shopping done today. I'm not really feeling the cooking mojo. I think it has to do with everybody's schedules being so wonky and the unusually warm weather we've been having.

I am looking forward to . . . getting some writing done, hopefully today.

I am hearing . . . doggies trotting around the house.

Around the house . . . the laundry is just about caught up! Now if only I could say the same for the ironing.

I am pondering . . . . whether or not to list some of my crochet projects on my etsy site. My site is Lucy's Beads and Prayers. Typically I carry Anglican rosaries and prayer strands, although I have listed a few prayer shawls. Any thoughts?

One of my favorite things . . . is my computer. I connect with LOTS of people, and I find it easier to express myself in writing. Plus there's a lot less judgment this way!

A few plans for the rest of the week . . . shopping, cleaning, therapy, Bible study, and a dentist appointment on Friday. I hope to complete my enclosed water skills on Saturday for scuba, but only if I can master this mask thing!

Here is a picture for thought I am sharing . . .

Shameless Self Promotion

I've recently been restocking my Etsy Shop. It occurred to me that I haven't really talked about my shop much on here.


My shop is called Lucy's Beads and Prayers (mlpyaya487 -- because I was even less tech savvy than I am now when I set it up! LOL!).


I carry protestant prayer strands and rosary, and am adding prayer shawls in the next few days.


I've put a link on my sidebar. Just click on mlpyaya487 to go directly to my store.


If you place an order in February and mention that you came from this blog, I'll wave the shipping charge.


So check it out and let me know what you think!
