Way back in the old days of blogging, I used to do something on Mondays called The Simple Woman's Daybook. I thought it might be fun to bring that back. These weren't the original prompts. Most changed them up a bit over time to suit themselves. These are the ones I was using on an old blog. They still work for me. Feel free to use them yourself if the urge strikes.
Outside my window... It's cloudy and very windy, currently 66 degrees. The high is 68 today. The temperature is forecast to drop into the 30s by tonight. That's very cold by SW Florida standards.
My weekend... It was a fairly quiet weekend. I did watch the girls for a few hours on Saturday evening. We had a nice dinner and movie night. We watched the Disney movie Elio. They actually cuddled up on the couch with me and sat still for the movie. I was shocked. I did some cleaning and grocery shopping on Sunday.
This morning... I'm relaxing with a cup of coffee and reading blogs.
I am wearing... Yoga pants and one of my son's castoffs, a big, worn-out, comfy concert t-shirt, an Avenged Sevenfold shirt to be exact.
I am listening to... The sound of the high winds whipping through the trees outside.
I am thinking... This daybook idea might be a good thing for me to try to stick with weekly or at least monthly when life gets back to being too busy to blog regularly.
I am feeling... Happy and content.
I am reading... Blogs, lots and lots of lovely blogs.
I am cooking... I made some egg salad yesterday that I'll finish off for brunch today, and then I'll be cooking up a new recipe I came across a little later this afternoon - Moroccan Chickpea and Couscous Soup
I am watching... I just finished the series The Summer I Turned Pretty on Prime. I didn't think it would be my kind of thing, but I got invested after the first couple of episodes and actually really enjoyed it. Have you seen it?
I think I'll binge-watch what's out so far of this season of Grey's Anatomy next. Anyone else a fan? I think it's gone way downhill, but I can't stop watching after all these years. It's hard to believe it's on season 22.
I am going... Nowhere today, as far as I know.
This week... I'm planning to stay at home both today and tomorrow. I have some paperwork to deal with and a few projects I'm working on. I'll have the girls on Wednesday instead of Thursday this week. Thursday will be clean up and recovery from the two little tornadoes, and Friday will be a mass catch-up day to get all of this week's errands done.
How are things outside of your window today?
Have a great week! :)
Sounds like you got a chance to catch your breath! I hope the chickpea soup was good.
ReplyDeleteI remember these prompts. They are a good way to catch up on things on your blog. Sounds like you have a good, calm day planned for today.
ReplyDeleteIt's snowing here. UGH. I will not be looking outside my window much today.
ReplyDeleteHow was the soup? It sounds so good.
Good morning! I woke up to snow on the ground the past 2 days. Not much though and I'm really not ready for that.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to look up that show on Prime. I haven't heard of it.
Have a great day!
My weekly, or sometimes only daily [!] prompts tend to wind up on a simple notepad which then gets stuck on the fridge. Can't seem to think much further ahead than that. This morning woke to a welcome late autumn chill in the air, which I personally love and a kitty snoring near my cheek ...
ReplyDeleteWet here. Much needed rain though it curtails time on the trails with the grand-dog. Have a lovely week!
ReplyDeleteI used to watch Grey's Anatomy all the time, It is a good series. I like the daybook way of writing. Hope you keep it up. It's cold here in Texas too but I felt better after seeing a picture of snow in Ohio this morning. At least the sun is shinning and the sky is blue here! Hope you have fun with your tornados!
ReplyDeleteLove, ma
ReplyDeleteGreat prompts! I had a baking disaster yesterday. I tried to make Tollhouse Chocolate Chip Cookies and for some unknown reason the dough was dry and crumbly and didn't bake worth a damn. I baked one sheet of crappy, crumbly cookies and then just threw everything out. How can anyone mess up Tollhouse Chocolate Chip Cookies?
