Simple Woman's Daybook--November 17




From Peggy

(with some editions from Elizabeth)

For MONDAY, November 17, 2008 

Outside my window...
The leaves are totally gone. Sky is light gray, but at least there's no more snow like there was this morning!

I am thinking...
about dinner ideas.

I am thankful for...
friends and good movies. 

From the kitchen...
Probably pasta. I need to go on a grocery binge. 

To live the liturgy...
Magnificat, daily Bible reading.

I am wearing...
khaki slacks, a violet/gray/black cashmere sweater from BR; brown boots; cream-colored socks (which will be red on the bottoms because my boots are lined in red leather.)

I am creating...
a new story, and working more on L&A. I finally have the ending written for that. Now I just need the middle!

I am going to breathe deeply ...
and enjoy being warm in my apartment.

Bringing beauty to my home ...
Still toying with book placement due to the new shelf. 

I am going...
to see TWILIGHT on Friday! I already have my ticket!

I am reading...
Truth and Tolerance (B XVI); The Kreutzer Sonata and Other Stories (Tolstoy), Bleak House (Dickens, which is really good, even if it is like 700 pages long!) (Yeah, OK list hasn't changed in awhile, but these are long!) And the Harry Potter books. I re-read Twilight, too, in the past week or so. 

I am hoping...
for a good week.

I am hearing...
the Twilight soundtrack (yes, there is a theme here); Muse's Black Holes and Revelations

Around the house...
General cleaning after Sunday hibernation.

One of my favorite things...
my new CDs, which are awesome and make me want to drive to work so I can listen to them. 

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week:
Wednesday: choir rehearsal
Thursday: ballet class
Friday: TWILIGHT! 5:00 show! 


Here is picture thought I am sharing...


One of my favorite winter things--time for it! Yay!

Em - You have inspired me. I picked up the Twilight book this past weekend and started it. It's definitely an easy read, and one I can sneak in during the HOURS OF MY LIFE I spend in traffic jams down here. Is it bad that I read at stop lights??? Hmmm... Anyway - if I get the book done before this weekend, maybe I'll try to talk Grant into seeing the movie & my sitter into watching Leo for the night! :) Lotsa love! -e.

Liz--
You have to see the movie, if for no other reason that Robert Pattinson. I mean, seriously, this guy is adorable, and he's 22. I'm trying to think of ways to get on the film set.
Wow, that's probably bad.
