No, I'm not really making donuts.
I'm making Easter Hearts.
My daughter and I started our own Easter tradition several years ago. She didn't like boiled eggs and I don't encourage eating candy so I came up with something I thought was fun and loving.
Instead of an Easter egg hunt, we do an Easter heart hunt. That first year I cut 10 hearts out of white paper, decorated them all in different colors and designs, and hid them around the house.
She saved them from year to year and each year, she'd give them back to me right before Easter.
This year, she doesn't know it but I'm going to do something different. The hearts we have from previous years have gotten a tad tattered. It's time for new hearts.
Soooooooooooooo, I'm gonna crochet 10 new hearts for this year's Easter hunt.
I've finished one as of today.

463: Mold and the urge to cook.
I'm sure the two are not connected but I have the urge to make a big pot of lentil soup.
I've also realized we're gonna need a new fridge. When they replaced the broken one, they brought in one that seems to have mold growing in some hidden recess(es). I can smell it. And my body is doing more weird things which have nothing to do with the other weird things it was doing.
Things that I now believe to be mold-related.
Jesus take the wheel. For real. Because when I go to the office to request yet another fridge, it needs to be understood and taken care of with the quickness. Amen.
On another note, I don't have any ink in the printer. Which means I can't print out the ingredients list for the lentil soup recipe I found on Dr. Weil's website. Which means I'll have to write the list.
Kinda makes me want to pinch myself because it's supposed to rain today. And I went out yesterday to take car of Necessities That Could No Longer Wait. If only I had thought yesterday that I might want lentil soup today, I could have gotten the goods while I was out and been enjoying a nice hot bowl of lentil soup while the rain pitter patters on my roof today.
Any who, I'm thankful that I was able to finish an assignment and return it to the client with minimum turn around time. Here's to more of the same!
Sending extra prayers and healing energy to Japan.
Amen.

462: This may sound like TMI but it's not.
Yesterday we ran out of toilet paper. As I am still feeling like the gum under a shoe, I couldn't go to the store. So the mister helped me out.
He's a big Dollar Tree fan (me too) so he ran over and got a couple of packs of t.p. from D.T.
I have to say, the t.p. at D.T. has gotten a lot better. I've been blowing my nose like mad and so far, so good. :)

461: She loves me.
These past few weeks have been difficult for me. I've been experiencing some health challenges that first manifest as we were returning home (from my hometown) after a funeral.
I haven't yet gotten back to 100%. And today was a "fall back" day for me. Yesterday I felt good. Today I did not. Tonight I don't. Tomorrow, who knows?
Which is a bit stressful because today my to-do list went undone. But no worries. Que sera, sera...
A bright spot: Today my daughter gave me a wonderful compliment.
A few minutes after I finished a phone call with a friend, my daughter came to me and said, "Mommy, you know, you're very smart."
When I asked her how she had come to that conclusion, she said she had overheard part of my conversation and some things I said let her know that I really was smart.
*sigh*
So even though my body felt like a glob of day-old oatmeal today, my heart soared on light and fluffy wings. :)

460: It's a beautiful day!
Baby Bliss and I have a semi-busy day planned.
(What does that mean? LOL)
We're heading to the library shortly. Later we'll run a few errands.
Home schooling is such fun!
And I'm thankful.
Amen.

459: Facebook stalkers.
It seems my ex-husband and/or his current wife is/are extremely interested in finding me on Facebook.
You want to know why?
Yes?
So do I.
I would think he/she/they has/have more pressing issues to attend to.
They are in my prayers.
