2. I got a sliver from white washing furniture and removed it this morning with a safety pin and tweezer.

3. I bouqht “The Best of The Andrews Sisters” CD this past weekend and am enjoying it.

4. I am going to practice one act of random kindness this week to a stranger.

5. I eat way too much cheese.

6. I haven’t washed the inside of my car in close to a year.

7. I like to eat mint and basil alone or pretty much with anything.

Here is my list:

1)We are in the midst of remembering what summer is like when we spend all day with friends, playing outside, having communal meals. It’s wonderful.

2)I watched my two year old son learn a lesson today about being the only one who doesn’t get an ice cream cone for dessert because he didn’t eat more than 2 bites of his lunch and then told the one who prepared his lunch that it was yucky. Which it wasn’t, and it was all things he likes!! What he doesn’t know is that despite all of this, watching him be the only kid without an ice cream cone was harder on me than it was on him.

3)I am getting ready to start the book, The Cape Ann, and I am excited about it.

4)Last Friday my husband and I went to the movie, Fireproof, and loved it!

5)I had a “craft room accident” yesterday and injured my toe, which is now very black and blue and sore. This morning, the drawer of my cocktail table fell out and landed on my toe of the other foot, which is now black and blue and sore.

6)I can’t stop thinking about attending my friend’s weekly “Terrific Tuesday” at her cabin this summer. It’s a very therapeutic place for me.

7)I recently discovered the new restaurant/lounge, whatever, called Black Water downtown. It’s so great and I can’t wait to go back!

2. I keep thinking about how someone payed for my coffee and bagel at Fidalgo Bay (a nice coffee shop in Murray). I found out that a woman buys whatever the car behind her had ordered every morning. No matter the price. Sometimes it creates a chain, said the lady at the window, and it’s mid afternoon before the chain stops. Isn’t that wonderful?

3. I’m excited about holding signs in front of Walgreens and CVS today. I’m trying to decide what sign I want to hold…? My “Jesus Loves You” or “If you died today, where would you spend eternity?” sign. Hmm….

4. I’m getting a pair of really cool TOM’S shoes today. And so is a little kid that needs shoes. You should check out their website.

5. Saturday Mom and I went to Paducah to go shopping. One of the things on my “To Get” list was a protective case for my new ipod. I spent twenty dollars on this shiny clear case, and ended up jamming a hole in it because what I thought was a piece of plastic to open the case was actually a protective covering. So now I have a bright yellow ipod with a scared and slightly scratched case. Oh well.

6. Last week I planted my garden. And today it looks especially beautiful.

7. I haven’t been journaling like I usually do… so today I am going to make sure that I have at least thirty minutes to write my thoughts done, as well as my goals for this summer.
