Sixteen years ago today was the happiest day of my entire life.
It's the day Simon flew into my life from Korea.
I always cry when I'm happy.
He was 5 months old and weighed 14 lbs. He weighed 5 lbs when he was born, two months premature, on November 15, 1987.
I love Simon.
Dinner: Grilled chicken and Creole noodles. Reading: Handmade for Profit, by Barbara Brabec. I just started this yesterday - after I finished Square Foot Gardening, while at Village Gifts. I made some notes and sketches and I think I have a simple, realistic, small garden planned. I'm going to buy the vegetable plants, but maybe I'll start a couple of flowers from seed, just for fun. I've been feeling a bit overwhelmed lately, unable to fully accomplish any one thing to my satisfaction so I thought a reality check was in order.
Listening to in the car: The Beardstown Ladies' Guide to Smart Spending for Big Savings:
How to Save for a Rainy Day Without Sacrificing Your Lifestyle by Beardstown
Ladies' Investment Club, Robin
Dellabough, Beardstown
Ladies. I loved one of the very first things I heard. This is not about
clipping coupons and saving pennies, this is about saving $1000 on a
car, for instance. I'm a mediocre coupon clipper but I've been thinking
about giving it up again. The negativity of the time-consuming-ness of
it outweighs the couple of dollars I save per trip. The scale has been
tipping towards giving it up for a month or so and that one sentence I
heard in that creaky old lady's voice was enough to convince me.
