Another busy day
Tuesday, July 13, 2010 at 08:16PM The days have been full--full of Bible study, reading, working, envelopes, housework--living!
I'm determined to try to post every day this week but I really have nothing interesting to blog about. Weird how that happens, isn't it? My life is full and happy and busy but not particularly bloggable.
But I'll try.
Studying: I'm studing Hebrews 11:11, 12 so I'm dipping in and out of Genesis, too. I love studying this book of the Bible. I am so torn inside--I can't wait to finish it (we've been at it almost three years!) but I feel sad to think that someday this particular study will come to an end. My love of that book will never end, though!
Reading: I'm reading Les Miserables, my favorite novel. This is a new translation by Julie Rose. So far I'm liking it, but I'm not sure if it will surpass my favorite translation from the Everyman's Library.
Working: My business really seems to be taking off right now. I just finished working on envelopes for an October wedding this week, I'm waiting for the delivery of envelopes for my next job which will start next week, and I've got a large seating chart and 4 framed pieces to do before the end of August.
Housework: I cleaned three cupboards yesterday and plan on cleaning under the kitchen sink and organizing my tupperware tomorrow. How's that for exciting?
Listening: I listen to Renewing Your Mind every day. I listen while I'm working or when I sit down for a cup of coffee. If I get distracted and miss it I HAVE to catch up! It's a big part of my day.
Watching: I've been watching 'The Next Food Network Star' and I was so glad Paul was sent home last episode. I'm pulling for Aarti but Tom is starting to grow on me.
I've also started watching old re-runs of the French Chef with Julia Child. What a hoot!
Gardening: I need to dead head the flower beds. Not a bad job, really. I'd enjoy it if it weren't for the mosquitos in the mornings and evenings and the heat and humidity during the day.
So that's what I've been up to. Nothing exciting but life is good.
How about you?

I've been enjoying the recipes from the site The Pioneer Woman. Her name is Ree Drummond. I bought her cookbook, and it has some really tasty recipes. She uses a lot of butter .. kind of like Julia Child!
I've also just started listening to a series on iTune U by Derek Thomas on introductory theology. What a fantastic speaker! He has such a commanding way of speaking. I'm doing a cross-stitch project while I listen.
Wanna come clean and organize my kitchen? I've been putting it off. I used to like doing that sort of thing, but I can't find my motivation for it anymore.
I want to get the new Les Miserables translation but I haven't yet. It's good to know you like it so far.
I am still enjoying Les Miserables, but I wish I had known this new translation was coming out this summer before I started. I'm halfway through and am considering switching to the new book.
We enjoy Next Food Network Star, too!! Aarti is so cute; she makes me want to try Indian food.
