Saw this yesterday on Ali's blog, and I thought: Hey, I can do that. It's far more interesting than what I had for lunch.
TODAY
June 23st, 2009
Outside my window… The sun is slowing making its presence known.
I am thinking... about how I need to keep the air conditioning at 73 all day, even though my sweet hubby would much prefer I keep it at 75.
I am thankful for… air conditioning on hot and humid midwestern days.
From the kitchen… last night was delicious kebabs, shared with our good friend, Christine. Tonight, I'm thinking fish.
I am wearing… horribly mismatched pajamas and flip flops.
I am creating… content for my upcoming online class.
I am going… to lace up tennis shoes at roughly 7 a.m. and force my tushka onto the treadmill, whether it does me any good or not.
I am reading… the latest Sookie Stackhouse book, which is taking me a surprisingly long time to get through.
I am hoping… that Cole turns the corner and starts to feel better soon. It's not strep, and we don't bring up the phrase "H1N1" in our house.
I am hearing… Men in Black on Demand. (What else is a sick 9 year old going to do at 6:05 a.m.?)
Around the house… there is a kitchen in desperate need of a cleaning and small piles of stuff on nearly every surface.
One of my favorite things… air conditioning.
A few plans for the rest of the week… work on class content, go to two different doctor appointments (it's mammogram time! YES!), shuffle kids to various places, and stay cool. (Cool as in temperature…I stopped being "cool" in the classic sense months ago.)

I think you’re still cool!!
annie says
I think that I can speak for the entire online community, we all think that you happen to be pretty cool…
Sharon says
So sorry Coley is sick, but … it’s 8:16 a.m. here and it’s 83 degrees and climbing. We have 4 seasons, November, December, January and summer 🙁
Missus Wookie says
Hope Cole feels better soon 🙂
Whilst I don’t twitter or FB enough to join in your class I’ve been planning something similar with these daybooks. Nearly finished my first year’s worth!
Enjoy the treadmill… and the air conditioning at whatever degree you’ve ended up on 😆
Rachel says
Ooooh – you’re going to LOVE the new book! It’s very refreshing and ‘old school’ Charlaine. Love it. And LOVE Eric. 🙂
Hope Cole feels better soon!

What a bummer to be sick and you don’t even get to miss school! Get well soon Cole!

Thanks Cathy!
I saw this on Ali’s blog too but it never occured to me to “lift” it!
Thanks for the idea–It’s going in my journal today!
Linda says
I am putting this on my blog today too–I love it!
Lyn says
I always have a Baskin Robbins peanut butter & chocolate milkshake after a mammogram. And I love all things Charlaine Harris.
Rita says
I love air conditioning, too!!! We are in the midst of the hottest summer since ’98. I “wish” I could run my A/C at 75….it is now kept at 79 degrees, since I got my $500 electric bill yesterday!!! Then there is the $100+ water bill since the last rain we had was in May…….gotta love Texas!!!
JillS says
Thanks for the great inspiration! I’ve put mine up at http://www.thatgaljill.com
margie says
Ummm, I have a question for you… do you like air conditioning? 😉
So sorry to hear that Cole is sick, my 2 boys are home sick too! and the last day of school is Thursday! I hope they make it in!
Jodee says
I haven’t read the books yet. We got hooked on the HBO series and I am scared to pick up the books. Because..I will not set them down until I have read every single one until done! My hubby would not appreciate that! LOL! Sorry to hear about Cole! Hopefully it is just a summer cold and passes quickly!
Leslie says
Oh, you are COOL!! I love that air conditioning, too!
BLo says
You’re the first person I thought of when I saw on the news than your part of the country was going to be in the high 90s. Hang in there!
Ami Pilon says
I’m a lifetime Washingtonian and I can not take the heat. I soooo feel for you. And there are no spaces larger than a breadbox without a pile of books or papers on it. They are neat but oh my goodness we have a lot of books and magazines and art work.
JoLynn says
This is like one big Facebook note. Hey… Facebook notes… scrapbooks… yeah… duh…
Barb says
I hope Cole is feeling better soon. And you are TOTALLY cool in my humble opinion. 🙂
Wendy says
I too saw this on Ali’s blog and simply could not resist 🙂
rani Shah says
Ditto..I did it too! Great minds think alike..no? YES!
Sherry says
Airconditioning Amen. Wish I had it in my craft room (but nope) You know you are a diehard scrapbooker when you live in Minnesota and can scrapbook upstairs without air.
Hope Mr. Cole is better soon. I too have had that sore throat, headache, plugged ears, runny nose, harsh cough. It last about 3 weeks.
Kimberly says
I love this. It would be so awesome to answer those question every day, especially for someone like me who has trouble keeping up with daily journaling. This would get me started and I could actually stick with it!
Zewa says
Cathy, you posted on June 23st 🙂 Interesting date 🙂
Ronalyn says
Your right EVERYONE’S DOING THIS!! Are you lovin’ Sookie Stackhouse? If your up for a little more smut (and muscular men in all black leather).. try the Black Dagger Brotherhood… I think you’ll like it 😉 Have a great night!
