Dusting Off

Today

Looking out my window...

This castle is not exactly out my window. It is the Harry Potter castle from Universal Studios. We recently traveled there as a family to spend the day.

I am thinking...

About husband and wife closeness-

About how fast time flies-

About moving-

About things I want to do-

About motivation-

About changing me-

About spiritual-

I am thankful...

For my job. To have the same employer whether you call God my employer or Stacey. I hope both are pleased with my efforts. In just a year or two I could have new hobbies or some other kind of life pursuit when I put my then 10th grader into college.

One of my favorite things...

Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

I am creating...

Baby Quilts

I am wearing...

A super, cute, cuddly lap cat

Can you believe that 1 year ago she was this tiny? Now she is almost 10 1/2 pounds!

I am reading (read) /watching (watched) / listening to

Reading- Nicholas Sparks The Guardian- a stoopid book, too much romance, took 12 chapters just to get into the story, after the "Does he like me?" "Does she like me?" drama (ughhhh)

Watching-In addition to Netflix we recently added Country Road TV and Hallmark Movies Now.

The series Signed, Sealed, Delivered is particularly good . Spoiler alert* have tissues handy

Listening to Home Free sing on YOUTube

I am hoping...

Hoping always that God will bless me with answered prayer.

I am learning...

Working AGAIN on my Bachelors of Biblical Education. Finding it hard to be motivated to work on it daily.

In my kitchen...

This category should be called Pinterest FAIL. Mainly it happens in the baking department. I try to bake low carb and sugar free. Many times the recipes DON'T turn out like the pictures on Pinterest.

In the school room...

My student is working hard to complete the fifth book out of ten for the year. If he completes each 5th booklet before the end of the week, we'll take Friday-Tuesday off.

In my garden...

No pictures to show for this. All the citrus fruit in the neighborhood is prolific right now. Everything seems to ripen at once. We've enjoyed Meyer lemons, mandarin oranges, limes and kumquats. I even made about 11 pints of sugar free lemon curd. I think it may be a Pinterest FAIL. I used Xylitol and after cooking it seems to be re-crystallizing, in the jar, in a big clump. Yay-me!
