Goals

Today's Beautiful Thing is having a goal. I'm enjoying the new things I'm learning at the day job and my goal is to improve a little bit each week. I'm looking forward to meeting it.

shower shopping!

Today's Beautiful Thing is shopping for my cousin Kari's bridal shower. Her wedding is on 7/7/07 and her shower is Saturday. Mom and I are going in on the gift so we can buy her something good. :)

Cake!

Today's Beautiful Thing is leftover birthday cake. Yummm...

I'm walkin'

Today's beautiful Thing is taking our nightly walk. It's a great way to unwind and it leaves all three of us more than ready for bed. Night! Zzzzzzz....

a do-nuthin' kind of day

Today's Beautiful Thing is planning to do pretty much nothing all day. After all the hard work that was yesterday, today is mainly for relaxing and preparing for tonight's democratic debate--which is equal to a big sporting event at our house. Go Dems! Rah! Rah! Rah! :)

Also, a Great Big *Squee!* I just noticed that Claire added my humble little blog to her Roll of Honour! (Look for the link to my blog in the sidebar on the right of her blog.) I couldn't be more thrilled!

If you can't beat 'em...

Today's Beautiful Thing is a successful family party. The in-laws have been red wine aficionados for the last few years. Since the party for my MIL and FIL's birthdays, and all the family present enjoys it, we served a cab and a red zin. THey were a hit. Surprisingly, no one (except the dh, my mom & me) touched any of the other bev selections.

cooking

Today's Beautiful Thing is cooking. I spent the evening making a big pot of chili and a birthday cake for my in-laws' birthday party tomorrow. I love to cook when I have time time and I enjoy feeding the people I love. "Food is love" as my Grandma Sally used to say. I miss her. Love you Grandma.
