I woke up and was lying in bed when Brenda called and invited me to dinner tonight. Apparently "Daddy Day," her father-in-law, specifically said she could invite me. I went out with them to a cooking school restaurant last week. (We should check it out together sometime, Pie ( Read more... )

This afternoon it seemed like everything irritated me. I got distracted with reading various things online and in a baby book, and now I just feel kinda down. I finally got the dishes done, at least the ones that went in the dishwasher. Still need to hand wash pots and pans and a few other things. My goal is to do them every other day.

I think I'm going to food journal at least a few days. I haven't been eating enough vegetables at home, and I think this will help me be accountable. I really need to go grocery shopping though. No idea what to eat for dinner tonight. Can't wait for Andy to get back home so I have to plan meals. (If I don't plan meals when he's here, I get ( Read more... )

Wow. I can't believe how much life can be impacted in such a short time. This time it was a Women's Retreat at Falls Creek, and I spent 34 hours getting to know 11 other women from church and to listen to a few amazing speakers.

They're predicting a pretty severe winter/ice storm here today and tomorrow. It's possible the power will go out for days. I've filled a bunch of bottles and jugs with water. If I stay here with power out, I won't have water because the well pump is electric. We have a gas fireplace, so there can be some heat at least. My friend Brenda offered ( Read more... )
