Dreaming big...

Outside my window…it is probably warmer than it is inside! Even though we have the heater on, for some reason I am still incredibly cold. My fingers can barely move.

I am thinking...should I really be watching Housewives of Orange County? What am I learning from this show/how is it enriching my life? It’s not. TV off.

I am thankful...that my best friend has moved back home from stinky Roseburg.

From the kitchen...nothing in the oven, nothing on the stove. That means a clean kitchen! Good for the soul.

I am wearing...a light pink tank top, a dark pink hoodie and sweatpants!!!

I am reading...”Kitchen Confidential” by Anthony Bourdain. Great writer.

I am hoping...that I can soon understand what I want my life to be about. I am torn between living a life geared towards my own happiness, yet at the same time I want a life that caters to making others happy. How do I find my medium?

I am going...to watch Up In The Air with Eric when he gets home from work!

I am creating...a scrapbook/portfolio of all my cake work. It’s time to bring back all the high school scrapbooking techniques.

I am hearing...Real Housewives on the TV. I lied; I didn’t turn the TV off.

I am praying...for my friend Ashley’s happiness. Her mom recently died, and although a big weight has been lifted from her shoulders because her mom was in so much pain, I know Ashley is still hurting from losing a best friend.

Around the house...is mostly clean! Ever since I quit Fred Meyer, I’ve had a lot more time to clean…thank goodness.

One of my favorite things...is when I develop a new way of thinking. It shows a sign of maturity, and also allows me to see the world in a different light.

A few plans for the rest of the week...make a few cake sketches, have a “meeting” with my boss and co-worker, work and hopefully write a little and read a lot!

A picture I am sharing...a picture of me and my best friend (who just moved home) after graduating high school!
