Simple Woman’s Daybook – March 12th 2012

For today – March 12th 2012

Outside my window… it’s dark out – usually type this and post in the morning but it’s almost 9  at night when I’m finally getting around to doing this blog

I am thankful for… my LPA family!

In the kitchen…  Not much going on, seeing as all meals have been cooked for the day. 

I am wearing… my pajama’s!!

I am creating… nothing much…thinking of more blogs that I need to do

I am going to… finish watching The Voice then start in on watching The Bachelor – season finale night!!!

I am reading… the Twilight series (I know, still!!)

I am hoping… that Ben doesn’t pick Courtney but for some reason I think that he does. 

I am hearing… The Voice in the background – they’re singing Pumped Up Kicks by Foster the People

Around the house… all is quiet…ahh!!

A few plans for the rest of the week…  on boy is it busy!  Joined 25 Hr Fitness yesterday so I will make it to the gym as many times during the week as I can.  Went yesterday and today – 2 for 2!!  Gotta get things ready for Caty’s party on Saturday – how is it possible that she’s turning 7?  Friday is her annual Skeletal Dysplasia Clinic visit – so think good thoughts!!  Saturday is the party and I have a session at the gym on Sunday scheduled with a trainer at the gym. 

A picture that I’m sharing… mmm OREOS!!!

Park day fun!!

Scott was out of town for a tennis tournament one weekend and we had some pretty beautiful weather.  So the girls and I took a walk over the the park closest to our house. 

As you can see, they had a great time!
