FOR TODAY (August 11, 2009)...

Outside my window... 75 degrees and sunny. I was with a friend out in the country last night and realized how much I TRULY love my Minnesota. It really is a beautiful state, and I love living here.

I am thinking... about so much. I am thinking about what I have to accomplish between now and this time tomorrow. Thinking about my mom, and how I wish so badly that I could be in Ohio with her right now as she deals with the loss of her sweet dog. Thinking about the nagging feeling I have in the back of my brain that I've forgotten something for kids' camp this week. I don't know what it is, but I hope it's not too important. Thinking about how long it's been since I've written anything on here, and how overwhelmed I've been lately with busy-ness. Thinking about the changes that are happening around work, and how it seems like the whole deck of cards has been thrown into the air and we're just waiting to see how they land. I am thinking about how I COULD have had leftovers for lunch today, but stupid me forgot to put them in the refrigerator last night, thus RUINING them. DUH. Oh, that reminds me, I need to make sure I clean that out before I go tomorrow. So yeah.....I could go on and on, but I'll stop here.....

I am thankful for... health. It seems that so many people are unhealthy...dealing with so much. I am thankful for a relatively healthy life and existence.

I am hoping... for a safe trip with the kids to and from camp this week.

From the kitchen... nothing happening in the kitchen right now, except iced tea. I feel the need to take tea with me to camp, as to avoid having to drink nasty juice stuff. Yuck.

I am wearing... black pants, black tank, brown shirt. I know, I know, you're not supposed to wear black and brown. I just can't force myself to care. Plus, I don't really care anyway. I wear what I want. :o)

I am creating... plans to make sure we don't forget anything or anyone tomorrow. 43 people on a coach bus.... hard to keep track of sometimes!

I am hearing... The air conditioner is running, and my phone just dinged at me.

Around the house... House? What house? Do I still have a house? I think I live at drama practice right now.

One of my favourite things... Laughing with friends and family. It is good.

A few plans for the rest of the week:
Sleeping with spiders.
Bathing in a lake (with swimsuits ON, mind you).
Cooking over open campfires.
S'mores.
Lots of fun with the kids.

Here is a picture thought I'm sharing... This is Jessie, my mom's dog. Jessie went to doggie heaven this week and she will be GREATLY missed. She's been my mother's best friend for years and years, and has brought crazy amounts of laughter and joy into our family's lives. It is wicked to see her go, and still so hard to believe..... will probably bring tears to my eyes for a long time. I will miss you, Jessie.........
