A Simple Woman's Daybook -- Sept 8, 2008

Please be sure to visit The Simple Woman for all the other day book entries.

Outside My Window...Clear, crisp morning, the sun is peeking over the mountains and tinting the sky pink, no clouds or chance of rain, high mid 80's, right now low 60's.

I am thinking... about the strawberries we picked last week and how I need to get them in the freezer today!

I am thankful for... these last few wonderful days of summer.  Our daytime temps have been in the upper 70's and the nights in the 50's.  A whole week without A/C, and counting!

From the kitchen... South of the Border Quiche w/ warm tortillas and salad

I am wearing...grey gym short, black tee, tennies and grey fleece.

I am creating... My Christmas planner, using ideas from FlyLady and  OrganizedChristmas.com.I have started all my different lists (gifts, meals, power cleaning, shopping, parties).  This week I will focus on budget, and decide on the gifts I will make.

I am going... to make it to the gym at least 4 mornings this week!

I am reading... I am in between books right now.  I just finished the Twilight series and just don't feel ready to jump into anything else, yet.  Although, I was asked to join a book club meeting that will discuss Breaking Dawn, so I may just start re-reading it at a slower pace.

I am hoping... for more wonderful weather.

I am hearing... quiet, the kids are sleeping, all is very quiet for a Monday morning.

Around the house... Switching out some of our summer stuff, both kids had big growth spurts this summer, so new jeans and the like are needed.  

One of my favorite things... sitting on the patio in the cool crisp morning, with a hot cup of coffee, and watching the sun rise over the mountains.

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week: Quilting class, I am planning to start a fall quilt and some other crafts for Christmas gifts.  Attending the Clinic Booster Club meeting, we will be continuing plans for the Christmas Stroll.

Here is picture thought I am sharing... boating at Pine view Reservoir, enjoying the last days of summer.
