Status Report: May
Wednesday, May 2, 2012 at 4:32PM Sitting…on the couch next to a cuddly dog. Yes, I let the big dog up on the couch. Sometimes I regret it, like when I vacuum, but sometimes I don’t, like right now.
Thanking God…for my youngest daughter who turned 28 yesterday. I made a cake to celebrate—a chocolate cake using Miracle Whip instead of eggs or oil—and it was delish. I chose the recipe to avoid making a trip to the grocery store for supplies, and Plan B turned out best by a long shot.
Realizing…my little granddaughter is a social butterfly, and a bit of a show-off, to boot. Yesterday was her 7 month birthday; she spent the evening entertaining her extended family. It was more fun than a carnival and a parade rolled into one.
Wondering…when that last little patch of snow in my front yard will finally be gone. I’m pretty sure it should have mozied on down to the southern hemisphere by now.
Also wondering…why my spell check always underlines thank, thanking, and thankful, and then has thank, thanking or thankful as suggested alternatives. What’s up with that?
Feeling…pleased that my tax refund check arrived in the mail today, along with my replacement credit card. Oh, and several books I ordered, too. It’s been an excellent day, mail-wise.
Reading…several books: The Hammer of God by Bo Geirtz; Pierced for Our Transgressions by three guy I don’t remember; God’s Battalions: The Case for the Crusades by Rodney Stark; and Wordsmithy by Doug Wilson. I finished the first novella in The Hammer of God this morning, and I’ll let that book sit for a bit before I take it up again. Not because I’m not enjoying it, but because when I start a story, I can’t stop reading until it’s finished.
Finishing…up, because that’s all the time I have.
Leaving…to make supper.

Chocolate cake with Miracle Whip is the best!! My mother made it for us all the time when we were kids.
That book about the Crusades sounds good. I hope you'll share some tidbits from it.
I'm hoping there will be things from it to share. So far, it's kind of dry. I like it, but I'm not sure it'd make good blog fodder.
