I am thinking...About my weekly trip I make to the library tomorrow...how a visit to the little resale book store always results in a treasure such as last weeks thousand page Modern Art book..How my oldest sons first teacher in town volunteers there..and I enjoy our chats as much as I do browsing for books..and I think she needs cookies tomorrow..hell we both need cookies..
I am thankful for...the fact that I went to the Dermatologist when I did and how taking care of my body is a priority to me, there were times I was too busy to do so..or thought I was.. ...I am thankful for medical insurance and that we are all healthy
From the learning rooms...You may have noticed me mentioning John Lennon more than usual..I am writing papers on The British Invasion and can't help myself..I am studying Buddhism (Zen)..and reviewing the classic movie The Maltese Falcon...Nicholas and I will be reading and studying Space exploration on Spring Break
From the kitchen..... I am eating extraordinary..Fresh smoothies every day typically filled with strawberries,blueberries,a banana, ground flax seeds,soy milk,cascade fresh yogurt and ice..sometimes I add in greens..vitamin c powder..and a little honey.. I am making Annie's organic soy cheese pizzas with wheat crust.. avocado ripe tomato soy cheese and salt/pepper on whole wheat sandwiches... and hummus lots of hummus with pine nuts and roasted peppers
I am wearing...My Woodstock T-Shirt fashioned after a vintage poster..and girly boxer shorts = My PJs
I am creating...Areas in my home that beg for you to sit for a while and relax...think mismatched pillows..lamps with beaded shades..baskets of good things to read..records waiting to be played
I am going...To take everyone to Las Vegas next weekend for Spring Break....road trip time!
I am reading...The Purification Plan: Total Body Detox, 101 Feng Shui Tips for The Home, Ms Manners Guide to Domestic Tranquility, The Farmhouse Cookbook,Charlie Harpers 101 Birds, Cooking Light Magazine, Mastering The Art of French Cooking Vol 2
I am hoping...The Nuclear Power Plant in Japan doesn't have a meltdown
I am hearing...Chelsea Lately carry on downstairs although I can't make out what she is saying
Around the house...It is quiet the boys won't be home until Monday
One of my favorite things.... Is waking up early enough in the morning to have time to savor a cup of coffee a little morning news some reading and a hot shower before work..
A few plans for the rest of the week: well it is weekend now... I am going to watch Nicholas test for a new belt in Taekwondo tomorrow morning..go to the library..have a movie night with my man..make him something special for dinner...sleep in Sunday..take my midterm exam..write a short paper..read the NY times and shop for a dress... ya the weekends are never long enough
Here is picture for thought I am sharing...
I did not take many pictures this week.. but one that stands out is
the small table I have in my front room which was
set and decorated by my son Nick, who is ten
before we sat down to a wonderful dinner of Shrimp Scampi
and fresh bread Charlie made for us last Saturday...
