This and That on Thursday.

• Faculty work days are over for another year. My presentation went well, covering working with students with disabilities.
• I love the fresh flower selection at Costco. Where else can you get a huge premium bouquet of mixed flowers for under $15.00?
• The kids have been a my in-laws' for a few days. They will be coming back for 2 days before leaving to go camping with my parents on Sunday. I love that they are having fun and getting some good grandparent pampering while I am busy gearing up for the semester.
• My sister-in-law just announced that she is pregnant...this will be their #4 and grandchild #21 for my in-laws. This renewed the "let's have another baby" discussion with my husband. We are continuing in negotiations.........
• I had Chinese for dinner.
• I need to get some scrapbook time, and soon. I picked up some of the new products from American Crafts, KI Memories and Pink Paislee, and I am just dying to create with them.
• I got the cutest striped polo today for Hayden....for 2 dollars. Bargain.
• Huge congratulations to my fellow scrapping friend, Christine, for her selection as a Memory Makers Master for 2009! She does such beautiful work and is so deserving of this recognition. It inspires me to maybe give it a try and apply next year....maybe.
• I am watching "Under the Tuscan Sun".....can't remember the last time I watched a whole TV movie. I'm enjoying the mindless entertainment, to tell you the truth!
• I am reconnecting with homemaking this fall. I just ordered a couple of books on the topic of creating a home. It is important to me that our home reflect us and be welcoming to others.....and a place of refuge and peace. I want to improve on the "serene" and "peaceful" part of the equation, as it can get pretty hectic with our schedules.
• That God shows any favor on this world is amazing! What an awesome God we serve!
• So glad tomorrow is Friday!
