2. Rebecca shared with us tonight that it had been the "Special Day of Prayer." She told us that everyone stopped to pray today (I think that she envisions that every single person in the world stopped to pray at the same exact time they did - what a nice thought). Her school celebrated it by joining hands and praying and then releasing balloons into the sky as a symbol of their prayers going up to heaven. Awww! So very sweet.
3. Last week, I got paid from my first big private practice case. Hopefully that was just priming the pump for more to come!
4. For the last few weekends, we have been working in our yard, taking out ugly bushes, digging holes for new ones, picking out plants and flowers, and planting. Ramy even created a replica of the posts with hooks for hanging baskets and sunk those in the ground in concrete for me this weekend. Rebecca and I created four hanging baskets to go on them, and we'll have more to do for the others this weekend. Our back yard is really shaping up!
5. I am apparently the last person on earth who has neither read nor seen The Hunger Games and has no intention to do so.
6. I have been trying to get Rebecca into swimming lessons for the summer. I intended to do so last summer, but with the new house and move, somehow it just didn't happen. It sounds like a simple thing. But no. The most convenient place is at the Y, which is just down from us. Convenient times and dates. The kicker is that the classes are impacted, so they have a morning a month or two in advance where you have to get in line a few hours before the registration starts. That wasn't cool with me, so I decided to check out other options. They are all either three times a week, in the middle of the day, or places that only do private lessons. What the? Who knew it would be so hard to enroll in swimming lessons!?!?
7. I read a few blogs, and several of them had recommended youtube makeup tutorials by the one gal. So when I was killing time, I checked them out. Those things are addictive! I ended up watching about a hundred one night (when it was already past midnight and had to get up for work before 6 am). If you like makeup and have some time to kill, check out kandeejohnson on youtube.
8. This week while on jury duty, I have had some quality time with my iPad. I downloaded and read Stephanie Nielson's book about her recovery from her major burn injuries after her plane crash a few years ago. I've read NieNie's blog for years, and she reminds me of the amazing power of healing that can come to the body and the spirit. Highly recommend!
9. Lately, we have been watching Little House on the Prairie almost every night. Rebecca loves Laura and Mary. I even passed up one of my Bravo shows the other night to catch an episode where Laura and Manly get married. What has happened to me?
10. The hunt is on for my summer purse. I keep turning to various straw bags, like these. But I have some kind of inner objection to straw bags, though I haven't fully explored why. It's truly a dilemma, akin to the way that I feel about Toms shoes. I may need psychotherapy.
