It’s Friday, yay!!! So many things I want to do and need to do this weekend. First, my very good friend’s baby will be baptized tomorrow morning and she asked me to take the photos. I’m no professional photographer but I love taking photos and I’m not too bad - at least they’re clear and I’ve got Photoshop for other stuff. Then there’s a luncheon afterwards and that evening we have an event on campus, International Night, where students from different countries cook and it’s open to the community. For $5/person, it’s pretty good, plus our little Emma eats free.

Third, I want to make a card. I want to try one of the challenges at SCS. Not sure how great it’ll turn out to be but hey, it’s a start. Maybe it’ll help me get my creative juices out. Maybe if this is successful, I’d be able to make more Christmas cards and other cards that I need. Fourth… clean the house! Yes, our house is dirty. I say dirty because, thanks to my husband, we tidy up everyday. But with two dogs, the outside being moist each morning, and engineered flooring, you see dirty marks all over the place. So this weekend I plan on a good floor polishing job and just sweeping and dusting in general upstairs. I also need to tidy up my craft room. It’s got clutters of mail, stuff from our trip, etc. I guess each house needs a junk drawer and a junk room, huh?

Last but not least, I want to play the Sims 2 game. My husband just bought me the pet expansion and I want to play it. I’m off and on this this game, I’ll play it for a week or two and then I’ll not touch it for a few months. So I want to try to squeeze in some time for this, maybe before bedtime as usual, but longer time to play.

Today, I also want to share a photo of a lady that I took at an Indonesian market. She’s very old and and still working hard to survive. Is she happy, is she not? You can’t really tell. But in her old age she still needs to work to make a dollar a day. Each time I look or think of this photo I am in awe with the world and the different lives that we all live in. Good or bad, rich or poor, sick or in health, we’re all here to live and learn.
