The Simple Woman’s Daybook for Monday, November 28, 2016
For Today… November 28, 2016 … Two more days of November!
Looking out my window … the sky is grey and almost pink while the sun lazily makes it’s way into the pre-winter sky.
I am thinking … about getting dressed. We’re going to see A Christmas Carol this morning.
I am thankful … for a wonderful long weekend being thankful with friends and family. We have so much to thank God for!
One of my favorite things … Ohio State beating X*ch*g@n in The Game. It was some bad football, but we won, so Huzzah!!
I am wearing … Buckeye jammies – but soon something dressier to go downtown.
I am will be creating … the children’s Christmas ornaments for this year. I have the stuff, just need some time. Later in the week, I think.
I am listening to … Christmas music. I have a slight obsession. Just finished Sara Groves’ O Holy Night (with the hilariously true song about toy packaging) and now have Amy Grant’s A Christmas Album.
I am hoping … that Jason has fun deer hunting … and maybe doesn’t get anything?
I am learning … good question. Maybe to tune out the self-negativitiy script?
In my kitchen … I really need to go to the grocery store. Coffee with cinnamon eggnog this morning, though. It’s the important things 😉
In the school room … the table is covered with “This doesn’t go down here. Take it upstairs” detrius. I need to clear it so we can do the puzzle I ordered. It’s lovely to be on break!
In my garden … er, yard, the outside decorations are hung – window candles, lights around the door, big ornaments in the tree. It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas 🙂
Board room … looking for “Spice” recipes for the family progressive dinner this weekend. I have a dessert plan, but need a heavy appetizer plan too.
Post Script … Brandy’s “Probably Our Simplest DecemberTerm Ever” post resonates with me because I also have our simplest plan ever. Sort of.
Shared Quote … “I should be sorry if I only entertained them. I wished to make them better.” Handel wrote of his masterpiece, The Messiah. I love that quote every time I come across it, which I did last night in our Advent Reader.
A moment from my day …
