Right now I am.... writing a blog post while the girls are starting their chosen daily activities. I'm trying to ignore the floor which has still not received its morning vacuum run, but it will have to wait until after Steven wakes up.
Thinking.... how biting one's tongue occasionally, while not the most comfortable, is really the best thing to do. Or when it comes to Facebook ... just keep scrolling, just keep scrolling. Not everything needs my opinion added.
On my reading pile.... in my search for books and other materials for our country/cultural studies I found a new series that I'm loving. It delves into life in Botswana and I've been thoroughly intrigued.
Yes, they're fiction, but you can tell the author is knowledgeable about, and has a love for Africa and the country of Botswana.
The writing style, and subject matter are so different from anything I've ever read before, but I'm loving it.
On my TV..... nothing at the moment. Yesterday Rosie Mae and I watched a Hallmark movie (Love at First Glance). It was predictable as always, but this time also strangely unsatisfying. At the end we didn't care for either main character, and wished the girl with amnesia would have been able to reclaim her true love.
Favorite blog post last week.... unfortunately I haven't had a lot of time for reading blogs. The few I read last week were ones that had participated in the Wednesday Hodgepodge.
Something fun to share.... we've been going berry picking regularly. The freezer is filling up fast, and we're looking forward to many yummy treats.
On the menu for this week....
Monday ... Barbeque ham sandwiches and a garden salad
Tuesday ... Burgers with a mango Pico de Gallo
Wednesday ... Chicken enchiladas and a salad
Thursday ... Pizza and some kind of salad
Friday ... Breaded and baked pork chops and you guessed it, a salad.
On my to do list.... Go blueberry picking. Transplant some houseplants into bigger pots. Cancel a certain brand of office software subscription that has been nothing but a big headache. Work on more school scheduling and planning.
In the craft basket.... making a fitted sheet for an odd sized mattress.
Looking forward to this week.... getting our dining room furniture stripped of the old lacquer that gets soft and sticky every time the weather gets slightly humid. I'm not really looking forward to doing it, but I am looking forward to having it done.
Looking around the house.... everything is clean ... other than the floor that needs vacuumed.
From the camera.... we all love spending time outdoors. Our cameras are full of nature pictures.
What I'm wearing today.... a fuchsia shirt and a charcoal colored homemade skirt.
One of my simple pleasures.... wildflowers.
I love the #1 Ladies Detective Agency series. I've read all of them.
ReplyDeleteHBO adapted it for TV, but it lasted only one season. Too bad, because both my husband and I thought it was pretty good.
"...when it comes to Facebook ... just keep scrolling, just keep scrolling."
ReplyDeleteHahah! This is a good rule for life, May Ann. ;-)
Ah biting my tongue is one of the hardest things for me to do but I'm also learning it's so very necessary. If I could just master it when it pertained to my husband I'd be flying high!
ReplyDeleteHoo, boy! Biting my tongue is really difficult! Mostly, it's moving too quickly to catch, but I *DO* need to stop and think before I open my mouth.
ReplyDeleteMadi and I have been watching the Hallmark movies lately from DVR. It's fun and we love to try to predict what's going to happen next! Some are cringe worthy and others are cheesy but we enjoy then none-the-less!
ReplyDeleteOh I forgot to add- I love the picture of the huge boulders!
