so ya know...

...windshield wiper fluid may just be one of the best things ever. I absolutely can not stand to have a dirty windshield. The worst are days when the snow is melting so the car in front of you is constantly throwing stuff at your windshield-- but not enough that it gets really wet, just dirty. When I drive with some one else I always seem to wonder how they can handle their windshield with spots on it. The slightest thing on mine, drives me nuts. ---oh and the other day, not sure if anyone else noticed, but something that came out of the sky was like a big mud speckle rather than snow or rain.

...book club was once again a hit. The book we read "Left to Tell" is one of my new favorites. It was very humbling and inspirational. If you have not read it I highly recommend that you do. I am amazed at the things that go on in the world that I know little to nothing about.

...I got the best looking elephant from my friend Karla last night. It is made of, well-- I am not sure, maybe wicker. Any who, I actually have a smaller version of the elephant she gave me and now they are like a little elephant family...love it.

...the way the weather looks, maybe not so much feels quite yet, is making me excited to bring out the Buddy. (my amazing scooter)

...right now at this moment I am grateful for the comfort of my favorite jeans (these pants really deserve a post of their own, so.... to be continued)

...sometimes it seems that I can not find good balance. For instance, if I focus on something in my life specific that needs improvement-- something else that I was doing at least mediocre at starts to slip. I have got to figure this out.

...it occurred to me last night at book club, while thinking about a part of the book we discussed, that maybe many times that I pray for things and do not seem to be finding the answers that maybe the Lord has placed me right on the road to finding them but, I am not walking.

...in a world of counting calories---Diet Coke brightens my day.
