Reading and Thoughts

I haven't taken part in the Book Journey Monday meme for a while. 

Currently I am reading The Help by Kathryn Stockett


I am part way into it and loving it so far. It is definitely an eyeopener into how in the not so distant past servants were treated.












Something else I found is the Simple Womans Daybook where we fill in the blanks with our personal thoughts




Outside my window... it is a mixture of clouds, blue sky and sunshine



I am thinking... about lunch



I am thankful... for the noisy neighbours being quiet last night



In the kitchen... it resembles a dumping ground and is desperately in need of a declutter



I am wearing... jeans and a shirt



I am creating... some knitting in a little while for the sock journey on Ravelry and a layout for the punky scraps challenge this friday.



I am going... nowhere really this week apart from the school run and a few bits and bobs



I am wondering... if the above will change as it usually does where kids are concerned.



I am reading... see above - The Help by Kathryn Stockett



I am hoping... that aforementioned noisy neighbours will be quiet for two nights in a row



I am looking forward to... getting the knitting out of the way for the sock journey and then I can create my own stuff



I am hearing... the TV and my daughter in the kitchen making her lunch,



Around the house... is too much clutter



I am pondering... doing something about that clutter but only pondering and not actually doing which isn't a good thing :(



One of my favorite things... at the moment is a love of crochet. I've only been doing it a few months but am loving it



A few plans for the rest of the week: maybe decluttering, maybe making a start on decorating but shhhh because I didn't really say that



Here is picture for thought I am sharing...  I've put this one up before on my blog but I absolutely love it.  I have no idea where I found it and I'm not taking any credit for it because it was an image from out there somewhere.

I absolutely loved The Help - best book I've read in the past few years!! Enjoy it! I can't wait until the movie comes out next month! I hope it is well done.

I keep hearing great things about The Help. I guess I need to read it!

I hope your neighbors stay quiet. Bad neighbors are the absolute worst.

My knitting hobby has sadly taken a backseat to my reading habit. One day I'll get back into it...

As celebration for the new Bloggers' Alliance for Nonfiction Devotees (http://nonfictiondevotees.tumblr.com/), I'm cheering on everyone's nonfiction reading today. So, yay for the Simple Womans Daybook!

With all those comments about cutter your house sounds like mine. I'm procrastinating too.

What a cute site! I love it! I've really got to pick up my copy of The Help, especially with the movie coming.

Hope you have a fabulous reading week and if you get a second stop my to see what I've been reading at There's A Book! :)
