Daybook

Outside my window::
   - A 60 deg day.  Spring is trying to over run the winter.  We typically have a couple of inches of snow in April.

I am thankful for::
   - a good friend who still emails me with encouragement.

I am wearing::
   - a nursing turtleneck and a tan skirt

I am reading::
   - Homeschooling with a Meek and Quiet Spirit by Teri Maxwell   I really need to work on myself on having a meek and quiet spirit in all areas of my life, not just homeschooling.

I am hoping and praying::
   - for two friends who are expecting.


I am creating::
   - a cross-stitched wedding card.  My sister inspired me to make it.

On my iPod::
   - some podcasts from iPadre  and SQPN Healthy Catholic; I especially enjoyed the one about the priest going from a couch potato to running a marathon.

I am running::
   - 8.15 miles yesterday!  I'm so proud of myself, especially tackling all of the hills.  My house is at the highest elevation of the area, so everywhere I run involves hills.

Around the house::
   - a broken hot water faucet for the tub.  Hopefully, we can get it shut off so that we'll have a warm shower tomorrow.  (The tub and shower are separate but are on the same water lines)

On the sewing front::
   - finished the pinafores that were meant for Easter (see the picture below).  Now on to the dresses for a cousin's wedding.

One of my favorite things::
   - my camera.   I really like my 'digital upgrade'.  Thank you hubby!

A few plans for the rest of the week::
   - a dentist appointment for myself, mom's homeschool meeting, and a diocesan Men's Conference for Michael.
