Outside My Window....there is a fall feeling in the air. Mornings are 'crisp and cool', but afternoons are downright hot! Looking forward to the perfect day of cool mornings, warm days, cold nights...
I am thinking....I really need to get back to the gym. Ever since I hurt my back in the spring, I've become a lump! And its no excuse....I know what's good for me - I just don't always do what's good for me...
I am thankful....that I have such an amazing family. Its nice to come home to such a wonderful, secure, and happy place...
Someone who made me happy....Ted. He is an amazing little dog. I've never seen an animal that actually tries to hug you....sincerely....every time you come home...
How I made someone happy....Jon. His 40th birthday is coming September 25th (and for those of you who didn't know - YES - I robbed the cradle!). Anyway....knowing he couldn't have a party due to a band competition that day, I let him pick out a new fishing rod and some fishing lures from Tackle Warehouse. I'm still deviously planning some other things......he he he ha ha ha! I mean it is the BIG 4-0!
I am going....to the Riverbanks Zoo Daylily Sale tomorrow morning with my in-laws. Not only do I plan on indulging on flowers, but I'm really excited about visiting with my family from Charleston...
I am hoping and praying....for my friends and past-colleagues who are out of work right now. Its time to get this country up and ALL of us working again...
On my mind....Marching Band! I am really excited to see the Dutch Fork Silver Spirit Band's show next week. It always amazes me how it just seems to come together when its time to. Not only is the show amazing, but they will be premiering new uniforms and instruments too! GO DFHS SILVER SPIRIT BAND!
From the yard....it is truly the dog days of summer. Everything looks so TIRED. In the next few weeks, I do plan to spend some evenings cutting some things back and getting things cleaned up and ready for Fall/Winter...
Around the house....Have several projects looming. For one, I want to redo the Master Bathroom. Although its been painted and has lovely window treatments, I'm still not happy. I think I'm going from bright turquoise and browns to a more subdued tans and whites. I want a relaxing, embalming spa feeling....aaahhhh...
I am reading....As noted in my previous blog entry I am currently reading "Eat, Pray, Love" By Elizabeth Gilbert - an exceptional memoir....
Pondering these words...."It is better to live your own destiny imperfectly than to live an imitation of somebody else's life with perfection." ~ Bhagavad Gita
