A Simple Woman's Daybook - June 22nd Edition

For Today...

Outside my window... it's getting HOT and muggy! But the skies are blue, the sun is out, and the birds are chirping!
I am thinking... of turning on the air conditioner before it becomes unbearable... but I probably won't. Ha ha ha.
I am thankful... that my hubby just called and is coming home early to enjoy an afternoon at the pool!
From the kitchen... No idea. I have done no planning for this week, yet... AND I need a vegan appetizer for an event tomorrow night! Any ideas?
I am wearing... pants and a tank top... but getting ready to put on the swimsuit!
I am creating... some free give-a-way ideas! Woo-hoo!
I am going... to have lunch with my dad tomorrow (if he remembers!).
I am reading... "The Geography of Bliss" by Eric Weiner, and I'm doing "Reading the Bible, Cover to Cover in 90 Days." We start "If Grace is True" with the book group this week.
I am hoping... for a relaxing weekend. No plans. That would be lovely.
I am hearing... our neighbor's air conditioner, cars driving by, the breeze rustling the leaves on the trees, kids screaming and giggling down at the pool, and the dog chewing on her bone.
One of my favorite things... having lunch with friends!
A few plans for the rest of the week... lunch with a friend, pool-time, a wedding shower, meetings, cleaning out my office at Faith Church, cooking, reading, planning new things at work, seeing some of the youth group kids!
Here is picture thought I am sharing...My hubby was gone this weekend - to the wedding of his nephew, David and his bride, Amber. This is them dancing with their little girl, Aubrey. Congratulations! (Can you believe my hubby has a nephew old enough to be married?! AND my hubby is a great-uncle! Ha ha ha.)Visit the Simple Woman’s Daybook, for more women's answers to these questions!
