Simple Womans Daybook for October 16, 2010

I haven't done one of these in awhile.

 

FOR TODAY
October 16, 2010

Outside my window...
Sunshine, blue sky, a gentle breeze, and lots of fall color.

I am thinking...
it is awfully chilly out for such a sunny day. It's 39F degrees. Brrrr.... Wouldn't it be great if Silver came through the doggy door right now? ...sigh.

I am thankful for...
Our furnace. It keeps me nice and toasty warm all fall, winter, and spring for very little attention on my part.

From the kitchen...
A lot of dirty dishes, and a whole bunch of whiskey bottles full of Sweet Hubby's brew.

I am wearing...
The usual jammies and purple fuzzy robe. I'm getting a slow start today.

I am creating... 

a new sock pattern. I got an idea for a design and decided to run with it.

I am going...
to Bead Stampede today. It's a bead show held every year at the Spokane Fairgrounds. I got two free tickets, so daughter Sarah is going with me. I hope to find someone who is carrying the new Tila beads.

I am reading... 

The Scent of Shadows by Vicki Pettersson. It was a free download from Barnes and Noble for my Nook. It's a dark fantasy superhero with not much hope of a happy ending kind of fiction. I've never read this kind of book before and I'm finding it interesting. One thing about the Friday free downloads is they're getting me to read other types of books besides the usual murder mystery and science fiction that I tend to read.

I am hoping...
there will be Tila beads at the bead show.

I am hearing...
the ticking of the clock on the wall, the rushing air from the furnace, the clickety click of my computer keys, and a funny bubbling noise from the coffee maker. It's quiet in the house.

Around the house...
spots of sunshine on the floor.

One of my favorite things...
Bead shows. They get my creative juices flowing and me all excited about beading again.

A few plans for the rest of the week:
If the weather stays nice as predicted, I'd like to get my flower beds ready for winter.

Here is picture for thought I am sharing...
I'm sharing this so I can join an online class for the donut that is pictured here.
