Simple Woman’s Daybook – March 7th, 2011

For today – March 7th 2011

Outside my window...  the sun is finally shining through the clouds

I am thinking...  that there are only 116 days until the LPA National Convention in Anaheim!!  YAY!!

I am thankful for... the sunshine today!

I am wearing... jeans and a fleece sweatshirt

I am creating... not much right now besides this blog post

I am going to…  hopefully start walking soon – it’s just been too cold in the mornings to head out with Hanna, who doesn’t like the cold or when it’s windy.  Come on Spring weather!

I am reading... nothing – haven’t started a new book yet

I am hoping... that the sun keeps shining all week long!

I am hearing... Jason Aldean and Kelly Clarkson singing “Don’t You Wanna Stay”  - I sure love this song!

Around the house...  Hanna is playing with her doll house and keeps saying “mommy” although she’s not talking to me but the doll house mommy – kinda confuses me each time she says “mommy”

A few plans for the rest of the week…  I’ll be busy getting all of my stuff ready for the JBF Consignment Sale which is this weekend – kinda bittersweet selling all of our baby stuff :-( I have to have it all ready to go by Wednesday which is the day to drop it off and get it set up at the Convention Center.  On Friday we’re going to head over to my parents after Caty is out of school – my brother, sister in law and niece will be up visiting.  Scott will head home with the girls and I’ll head out to the Wrangler with some girlfriends for some awesome country music by the Chris Gardner Band.  Saturday we aren’t up to much, then on Sunday afternoon I have to head down to the Convention Center to help with the breakdown of the JBF Sale and to pick up my items that didn’t sell.  Lots to do!!

Flashback Friday – March 4th 2011

When I was searching for the pictures of Caty ug in the pink playhouse for my post from Monday, I came across these pictures and remember how funny it was watching her devour this corn on the cob.

Simple Woman’s Daybook – March 1st 2011

For today – March 1st 2011

Outside my window...   the sun is shining but it’s still cold (for CA) this morning – it’s currently 38*.

I am thinking...  about how much I have to do before next weekends JFB Consignment sale (which actually has to be done by next Wednesday because that is set-up day) – tags are printed out but now I have to start tagging all of the items I’m selling – which is everything baby related because we’ve decided that two if enough!

I am thankful for... the fact that Hanna will play by herself for long periods of time – it allows me to get my blogs typed, emails sent and other things accomplished on the computer while Caty is at school.

I am wearing... jeans and a fleece sweatshirt

I am creating... a flyer for the LPA fundraiser that I have put together – if you missed my announcement check out my blog about it.

I am going to… unfortunately miss Bunco tonight – boo! 

I am reading... nothing at the moment – have several books to chose between – thinking of starting “The Last Song” by Nicholas Sparks.

I am hoping...  that the next 122 days goes by quickly because once those days are over, we’ll be in Anaheim with our LPA family!

I am hearing... Hanna say “ribbit” and yes, she’s hopping around like a frog.

Around the house...  Hanna has toys everywhere, at least she’s keeping herself busy.

A few plans for the rest of the week…  not much going on this week

A picture that I am sharing... We were cleaning the garage up and came across this house that Caty used to love – she and now Hanna feel the same way about it.

And here’s Caty in the house back in April of 2006
