Today I

thought I'd play along with Ali via The Simple Woman's Day Book viaapple likes orange:

Outside my window... it's dark and pouring rain

I am thinking.... it's summertime, a less hectic schedule, remember to breathe and enjoy the slower pace

I am thankful for... Bryan registered at Justin's middle school, and in honors math

From the kitchen... protein smoothies with frozen bananas, poached chicken in vindaloo sauce

I am wearing... my favorite denim skirt and a charcoal t shirt with buttons and lace trim

I am creating...12x12 scrapbook Layouts, 3 done so far today, next up a page about the beach

I am going... to drop off Bryan at karate and then do some grocery shopping

I am reading... starting a new book today, the Duchess

I am hoping... to have enough energy tomorrow to get through my workout

I am hearing... the rolling thunder, sirens in the distance, Justin building with his legos

Around the house... we started pulling up the old tile from the bathroom floor, the first steps in a major renovation project that is long over due.

One of my favorite things... when the cats come over and snuggle beside me

A few plans for the rest of the week: Focus on my workout schedule and meal planning

Here is picture thought I am sharing...
