Outside my window… it’s seemed like spring was coming the past couple of days, but the dropping temperatures declare otherwise.
I am thinking… about the results of the attitudes and prejudices that we pass on to our children. It’s a rather sobering thought that the worldview we teach our children will have such an impact on the future, for good or bad.
I am thankful for… children who make me smile and laugh, even when I’m thinking deep, philosophical thoughts. (Perhaps especially then!)
From the learning rooms… it’s been nice to get back to a regular routine after the Christmas break. A few fun things on the horizon though!
From the kitchen… there is a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting that is calling my name… I’ll have a cup of tea and try to resist.
I am wearing… jeans, a burgundy top with a lovely pattern and nice drape.
I am creating… a sweater, a scarf, and socks. I have a project going for pretty much any mood at this point.
I am going… to stay inside, close to the coal stove once this faux spring ends.
I am reading… well, I’ve been reading Star Wars books. It all started because I really love Kathy Tyers’ writing. Since she’s written two Star Wars novels I picked up a copy of each. Now that my interest has been piqued, I want to read more Star Wars novels! I just have to find a place to review them so that I can add them to my list of have-to-read-because-I’m-reviewing-it books.
I am hoping… that some of the ideas rattling around in my head make it onto paper soon.
I am hearing… Ramin Karimloo sing “Till I Hear You Sing”. I first heard him sing in the 25th anniversary performance of Phantom of the Opera.
Pondering these words… “I’ve loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.” – Galileo
Around the house… sit very large mugs that were filled with tea. You know it’s winter when I’m brewing tea three times a day!
One of my favorite things… is the Lady Grey tea by Twinings that I’ve recently discovered. Similar to Earl Grey, just a bit lighter.
A few plans for the rest of the week: lessons with the kids, sorting out my writing schedule and actually doing some writing.

Doug says he likes Timothy Zahn the best for Star Wars novels. Need me to help you plant a bug in Lea Ann’s ear? 🙂
I’ve actually ordered Timothy Zahn’s trilogy from Thriftbooks! Somehow, I don’t know that Star Wars book reviews are what homeschoolers are looking for… Might be a lot of comments on the review though. 😉
