Okay…let’s try this again. I am going to try to capture everything I have been up to over the last several weeks. It’s not a perfect or complete list, but it is a list nonetheless.
189. Read High on Arrival by Mackenzie Phillips. She is an amazing person with an equally amazing story. It is a must read for everyone. It made me count my blessings that I was raised in such a stable environment.
190. Had a shopping date with my daughter. I love Girl’s Day!
191. Got our new iMac – it is absolutely delicious!
192. Read Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson. I realized I ordered the junior version from the library – didn’t care . . . read it anyway.
193. Started reading The Book of Negroes by Lawrence Hill. Such an amazing story – can’t put it down (except when I have to go to work, of course).
194. Still working on knitting a shawl for my cousin’s wedding. I realized today, sadly, it will not be completed for this weekend. Grrrrrrrr.
195. Celebrated my husband’s 40th birthday and my MIL’s birthday (do I mention her age? Better not . . .). A great time visiting with old friends and catching up with family. To my niece, Chloe – you are an amazing young woman with a vibrant personality. Your sense of humour is extraordinary and your vocabulary is prodigious. I wish we could have spent more time with you!!! You must come visit us in our local FarmVille. (…p.s. i LOVE your hair!)
196. Watched horse races. Those animals are absolutely amazing! It was incredible watching them. We placed a few small wagers. Some races we won . . . some were not so lucky. Let’s just say we are not retiring any time soon.
197. Went to my parents’ cabin for the weekend. It is the one place where I truly feel at home. I spent my summers there while growing up. I marveled at the trees we once planted which now reach higher than the cabin itself. I’m still kicking myself I forgot my camera. However, I did a lot of knitting, reading, and playing games.
198. Watched a couple of movies: The Bounty Hunter starring Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler {swoon} and last night I watched Date Night starring Steve Carrel and Tina Fey. Great date movies although I was alone for the last one . . . .
199. Got my daughter off for first day back to school . . . can you believe she’s starting Grade 6? I was watching her get ready and wondered, “So when did you grow up over the summer?” How is it that she just looked like a kid last week, and now she’s looking more like a teen?!?!
200. Ate ice cream . . . more than once!
I hope you all have a lovely week. I will probably not be writing again until next week. I have a busy week ahead and we leave Friday for a family wedding (God’s richest blessings to Meaghan and Mike).
Thanks for checking in everyone!
SUCCESS! Love you! :) -C
