Simple Woman’s Daybook – August 29th 2011

For today – August 29th 2011

Outside my window...  it’s very noisy!!!  The neighbors dogs won’t stop barking (it started at 6 this morning and it just won’t stop!!) and the dive bombing birds are squawking up a storm!!  Jinx is hiding in the house to avoid them.

I am thinking… and wondering about who will be on the next season of Dancing with the Stars – can’t wait to find out tonight while watching Bachelor Pad.

I am thankful for... the fact that my east coast friends are safe yet again after mother nature wracked havoc this weekend. 

In the kitchen… there are some dishes that are calling my name as well as the floor which needs swiffering – that’ll happen once I’m done with this post.

I am wearing... shorts and a tank top

I am creating... a video with pictures from the LPA Fundraiser – too many pictures to put into a blog post.

I am going to…  starting thinking about the other blogs posts that I need to catch up on – still behind but not as bad as I was a few weeks ago.

I am wondering… when it’s going to start cooling down – I’m ready for cooler weather – supposed to be about 100* today.

I am reading... nothing yet, finished last weeks book and haven’t decided which book to pick up

I am hoping... that none of my east coast friends suffered too much damage from Hurricane Irene.

I am hearing... Hanna playing with the cars and my soap on the tv – I can at least listen to it while typing.

Around the house… Hanna is so happy with her new big girl bed!!  She has always liked playing in her room now she LOVES it!!  We moved a few things around in there and she now also has the play kitchen – she spent most of yesterday afternoon and now this morning, playing in there. 

A few plans for the rest of the week…  watching the two kids tomorrow after school – my mom is also coming over to visit before she and my dad head out on Wednesday for their next adventure (thankfully planned for this week and not while Hurricane Irene was hitting the east coast).  They are flying into Knoxville TN and visit with the Schmidts, whom Caty and I visited while we were in TN for the LPA National Convention last summer.  From there they will be heading to Hilton Head South Carolina and spending 2 weeks there.  Friday afternoon Scott, the girls are I are heading out of town with some friends to Arnold for the weekend.  Our friends are members at the Broll Mountain Vineyards  in Murphy’s.  The winery is having an event for members and we were invited to attend as well.  Dinner and free wine all night long!!  Then on Saturday there will be an all day long community party.  On our dive home on Sunday we’re going to stop at Snowshoe Brewing Company for lunch – sounds like a perfect weekend to me!!
