Simple Woman's Daybook 12.16.09

This was going to be a post featuring my photos for a Christmas Tour of Homes. But I am having technical difficulty (read: my son keeps disappearing) and can't tell if I deleted the folder I created last night with my cropped shots in it.

Once again, the idea for these "daybook" posts comes from The Simple Woman's Daybook.

So...in lieu of a photo post, here is my Daybook entry.

Outside my window...
are lovely Christmas lights on my neighbor Carol's house. We didn't do the exterior lights this year, and I'm okay with that. I really.am. okay.with.that.

I am thinking...
1) I gave more cash than tresses at the salon last night. Even I can hardly tell the difference.
2) How excited I am for my Stephen who will attend the Campus Initiative Conference in Knoxville starting tomorrow.
3) That I want to go visit the Burmese refugees in NJ soon.
4) I really should post my "I'm Really Not Martha Stewart" pictures of the messy house instead of my "cropped out the clutter for this Christmas Tour" post, just in case you're delusional.


I am thankful for...
my clutter-cropping camera.

From the kitchen...
nada new thing. Leftovers tonight, baby. Paul is at his office party tonight and spouses weren't invited. (Waa.) But he signed up for salad and cole slaw. He made the salad and I made California Cole Slaw which I found on allrecipes.com. Hope it's a hit. It tasted good to me and looked pretty.

I am wearing...
jeans and a lime green T with a plum top over it. Plum top alone is a bit decollete'.

I am creating...
lists.

I am going...
to wrap nice used toys for refugees tonight. All of the toys were donated from our school's children.

I am reading...
one page ahead of my students at this point.

I am hoping...
my husband plans a romantic trip for our anniversary, preferably to a place at least 3 hours away .

I am hearing...
snap, crackle, and pop. It's coming from my neck.


Around the house...
Christmas in its varying stages of readiness. Mostly unreadiness.

One of my favorite things...
is a pretty, new journal and pens. (Wait, that's more than one.) I got both today from my Secret Angel at School.

A few plans for the rest of the week...
Just a few? Um...I have way more than a few. Don't you?

A picture thought I am sharing...

A family photo from, I think, 1971.

Daddy and Mama, Rachel on the left, Andrea in the middle, me on the right. Jill didn't come along till '79.

I really like these posts! It's fun to come along on your daybook journal journeys! Since it's Christmastime, I thought of the movie "Christmas in Connecticut" as soon as I read "Outside my window..." Not that I doubt you have any reason to paint a false picture like Elizabeth Lane played by Barbara Stanwick... (Am I making any sense? Probably not, but that's okay.) I recommend "Christmas in Connecticut" w/ Barbara Stanwick for some Holiday amusement.
So, I had to look up decollete'!
You're funny! After I read what it meant I thought, "ZoAnna"! I had to re-read your outfit.
Anyway, you sound busy. Prayers for grace, encouragement and peace through busy-ness...
