I guess that if you read my blog regularly, you know that I write. I've got a deadline looming - in two weeks. It's important to meet the deadline, so things like blogging and writing letters have been temporarily abandoned. Hopefully, in two weeks, I'll have time to blog and write letters again! In spite of writing and writing (and writing and writing ...), I've managed to find a few odd minutes to ...
... cook! Thankfully, I enjoy cooking - because I've do a lot of it ... ! Salad (and homemade dressing) is one of my favourite meals to cook. (Cook? Hmm ... prepare is probably a better word. I don't cook salad!)
... go shopping and find a wedding present for a friend, who's getting married in May. I love this photo frame and I know she will too! We actually saw it together, over a year ago, when my friend was staying with me and we went shopping. I'm so happy to have found it again and I'm looking forward to giving it to her soon!
... finally find a calender for 2008! I've been lost without one, but it's taken me over two months to find one I like. Since the calender will live on my bedroom wall for a year (during which time I have to look at it first thing in the morning and last thing in the evening), I think it's important that I like it!
... watch 'Amazing Grace' with some friends. I discovered the film over a year ago, when I found a postcard advertising it in my local Christian bookstore. I've never seen it until this week, however! I'm glad I've seen it. (Although what I thought of it is a whole other post!)
... start crocheting an afghan. I love this pattern, it's so easy and quick! And I love crocheting, of course!
So ... there you have it - two weeks of my life in pictures! I hope I'll get a chance to write and post some more articles soon! I have so many ideas and I want to write about! But if I don't get a chance to blog ... you can think of me writing and writing ...
Happy Thursday, people!

Aw, that calendar looks cute!
How happy to stop by and see a post!! :) I'm so glad you found time in your busyness to post. :) I've been having that problem myself, so I just make lists of things I want to post about and hope to get to them ... sometime.
I loved your post. Two weeks in pictures! Just LOVED it!!
What are you writing? I knew you wrote, but deadlines ... ooh, sounds so professional, what are you up to? :) And is there a chance that we will get to see it?
Well, I should let you go, since life is busy I'm sure you have more to do then read comments. :) Thanks again for such an enjoyable post!!! Looking forward to when busyness allows another one.
Natalie and Ana, thank you for your sweet comments! :-> It's nice to 'talk' again with bloggie friends! :-D
Natalie, the calender IS cute! :-> If you follow this link (http://housemouseantics.com/php/fam2008-C.php), you can 'see inside' the calender; January has the cutest picture, I think! :->
Ana ... I make lists of things I want to post about too! TO be honest, the deadline I mentioned isn't as professional as it sounds, since it's a self-imposed deadline. I'm still trying to decide whether or not to share more about my writing on my blog - in many ways, I would love to do so, since many sweet girls and some very dear bloggie friends read my blog. But lots of random strangers read my blog too and I'm hesitant about sharing more about my writing in such a public way. But ... I'm still trying to decide, so there's a possibility you'll "get to see it" sometime! :->

Professional or not, deadlines are wonderful things!! :) When I write my "novels" I just write when and how I feel like. How dedicated to have deadlines for yourself. *Thinks and strokes chin* Maybe I'll have to look into that. :)
And about sharing what you're writing, I totally understand. It's sometimes scary when you sit down and think who is actually reading your blog, not just leaving comments, but who has access to your blog and what you write. :) I didn't mean to pressure you in anyway to share what you're not comfortable with. Share only what you feel the need for (and most important ... what you're comfortable with)!
Ana - deadlines certainly help me; otherwise I wouldn't get any writing done! :-> So I'm not sure that setting dealines for myself is 'dedicated' so much as 'desperate'! But thank you for your kind words anyway ... I didn't know you wrote too. Maybe you'll feel comfortable sharing more about that on your blog sometime! :->
No, you absolutely and totally did NOT pressurise me to reveal anything on my blog. Don't worry about that, please! :-> And thank you for understanding ... I have had people from every continent visit my blog, according to my stat counter. But only a tiny percentage of all those people have left comments and I have NO idea who the others are! But I may share more about my writing as it develops (and I sent you an email about it, which I hope you enjoy reading!) ... :->
All your posts are wonderful..hope to watch that movie 'Amazing Grace'.
