Simple Womans Daybook for January 27, 2011

FOR TODAY
January 27, 2011

Outside my window...
It is gray and gloomy. The sun was out most of today, but clouds are moving in. It smells like snow might be on its way.

I am thinking...
computers can be a huge pain in the arse. For whatever reason, the formatting of this post is all screwed up. I've redone it several times and it still isn't working. If it looks good to you (no Link Within stuff in the middle of the post, then repeated at the bottom) I've figured it out and all is well.

I am thankful for...
my husbands job. So many people are struggling right now, financially. We are very lucky that he has a good job during these trying times.

From the kitchen...
a frozen turkey breast is thawing for tomorrow. I have no idea what I'm doing for dinner tonight. I have no appetite for what was planned.

I am wearing...
Olive green short sleeved round neck sweater (store bought) and darker green knit pants. Also 2 band-aids-one on each hand. One from an accident, and one from getting poked for my blood test today.

I am creating...
a lot of stuff. I have a LOT of projects going on right now. Today I dug out the Star Trek sock and frogged it back past the gold stripes so I could replace them with a different color.

I am going...
no where tonight. I'm too pooped to party. I went to bed really late last night (1am?) and then I couldn't sleep so I ended up reading for a couple hours after that. I had a soft drink with caffeine in it yesterday at lunch and it really wired me.

Deadly Sanctuary (Kendall O'Dell Mystery series)I am reading...
Deadly Sanctuary by Sylvia Nobel. People are missing from a little town in Arizona. A reporter is investigating them in hopes of a big juicy story.

I am hoping...
that the problems I'm having with my Picasa Web Album gets fixed. It's not working with Firefox. The formatting is all screwed up, and it wouldn't let me upload photos to the blog last night. I had to do last nights post using Windows Internet Explorer (I feel so dirty now). It was a very frustrating experience. I spent several hours trying to figure out what is wrong and how to fix it. I've come to the conclusion it's Picasa's fault cuz everything I've tried hasn't solved the problem. I've left a message for their tech support people. In the meantime, it seems to be letting me upload photos to the blog now. But the albums themselves are still messed up. I think it also may be a factor in todays messed up formatting of this blog post because if I take the pictures out, all is well.

I am hearing...
the tv. Reruns of Seinfeld are on.

Around the house...

aside from the tv, it's quiet. All the fur kids are asleep. There's a surprising amount of yarn and WIPS laying around the living room.

One of my favorite things...
Taco Bell Tacos. I guess it was reported that their taco meat is only 40% meat. The rest is filler. I'm wondering why people are surprised by that? Just the texture alone should have clued them in. I like it anyway. From my point of view, it's more vegetarian than meat.

A few plans for the rest of the week:
Not much is left of this week. Tomorrow I'm planning on doing some house cleaning, a load or two of laundry, and some beading. We'll see how that works out for me.

Here is a picture for thought I am sharing...
Doug, Ruth, and Me at Yellowstone Falls last June.
