The Simple Woman's Daybook- August 17th

FOR TODAY (17th August)...
Outside my window... is a dark night sky, and bush.
I am thinking... of what I need to prepare for school this week.
I am thankful... for having a job! That my husband isn't sick from gastroenteritis anymore.
From the kitchen...
Last night I made corn and avocado salad. It was great! (From taste.com.au)

Avocado and Corn Salad

!ngredients (serves 6)
2 firm large ripe avocados, halved, stones removed, peeled, finely chopped
1 x 410g can corn kernels, drained
3 shallots, ends trimmed, thinly sliced
1/4 cup chopped fresh coriander
2 tbs fresh lemon juice
Method
Combine the avocado, corn, shallot, coriander and lemon juice in a medium bowl. Serve.

I am wearing... my pyjamas.
I am creating... a 'mini-beast' of aluminum foil and crepe paper for art class this week.
I am going... to bed soon.
I am reading... nothing at the moment- this hasn't happened in a while! But I haven't been able to go to the library this week.
I am hoping... that my Mom does get to visit from the US for Christmas.
I am hearing... the hum of equipment, water splashing.
Around the house... is a new ice cream scoop! Thanks, Meredith!
One of my favorite things... is my laptop today. The power cord broke and our new one just arrived in the mail today. It makes planning much easier!
A few plans for the rest of the week: Our Bible Study Tuesday night is going out for a meal, and Friday night some ladies are gathering for a movie night (I think the guys are playing squash).
