Outside my window, sun peeking through. Cold and windy, though, so you can't imagine it's spring! I am thinking about my upcoming birthday and all the drama that's ensued just planning dinner. I am thankful for M's thoughtful present; she remembered how much I loved Pan.dora bracelets and took me to pick one out this past weekend. Lovely! I am wearing brown leather slip-ons, denim a-line skirt, brown tank and yellow scoop neck t-shirt, freshwater pearl hoop earrings, hair down. I am creating felt objects! Valentine's Day decorations and G.ood Night, Gorilla figures for my sister's to take to t a baby shower. I am going to the basement soon, to finish laundry. I am reading "Jesus for the Non-Religious," (book study on Wednesday) and "Too Much Money," by Dominick Dunne (which is overdue at the library!) I am hoping that M and I can get back on track with eating at home, after a weekend of take-away and restaurants. I am hearing the television, commercials. Around the house, items to take to the basement, laundry to be finished, lots of crafty projects to be started, finished, or just worked! A few plans for the week: schedule a hair appointment, finish reading for book study, make caramels and fudge, bake some bread.
