Morning's Light

I like this photo for the jars, the white dishes, and the baskets above the shelves.  An inspiration to put baskets above my kitchen cupboards.  Storing items out of sight in simple containers.  YESSSS (as Rona would say).

I like the arrangement of artwork on the wall near the stairs.  My front door opens to a stairway up to my apartment.  On one wall I’d like to hang a bunch of photos. The other wall will be a work in progress as friends who visit will be asked to create pieces of art on medium size canvases….so that my art wall will be one of a kind!

ramblings….

• tonight is the next-to-last small group tonight with my junior high girls – for the school year.  Of the fourteen girls, two will be in high school next year and one is moving away.  so tonight will be a serious discussion of the youth guy’s message from sunday and next wednesday will be a graduation/farewell/end of the year party.
• I’ve worn contacts for years. this morning, it took no fewer than 19 tries to get my right contact into my eye.  happy that was not the tone set for the rest of the day.  (or else that’s my double tall mocha talkin’!)
• my mom is taking a trip to northern california soon…..where I used to live!  she’s visiting there before I get to. sigh
• it’s all good though..since I leave for Vegas in one month-minus one day.  My birthday weekend away with friends. (plus a friend stowed away in the luggage, if possible)
• was settled in watching American Idol last night when one of my girls called me and needed to talk.  was good to see her and talk through some of her life stuff for awhile and pray.
• my ears have stopped ringing post-rock-concert friday night.
• a new favorite thing to watch has been The Really Real Show on youtube. funny stuff.
• oh yeah – hoping syesha goes home tonight…and that it’s The Two Davids in the Idol finale. I think David Cook – rock star – will win but I favor David Archuleta.  There’s something distinct about his beautiful voice.  David Cook has "presence" but David A. has a voice that has me download his songs and listen to them repeatedly.  Last night’s Dan Fogelberg song (David’s third song) was so pretty.

I do believe those are all my random thoughts at the moment. 

How’s your week goin’?
