December came around quickly and it seemed like my entire neighborhood was taken off guard. No decorations. But then, BAM, decorations everywhere. I love it.
This past week was good The Teen had her choir concert and she sang a solo and played her ukulele for the first time in front of an audience. She did great!
Right Now:
We are getting ready to go to church and by getting ready I mean that I am in an upright position, drinking coffee and nibbling on buttered toast.
This Week:
This Tuesday I have to take my daughter for an x-ray. Something came up at her physical which I have been asking about for years but this new doc agreed that she needs to be seen so we go for that on Tuesday.
My work party is this week and my last day of work is Thursday. I will return to work on January 9th. It’s good chunk of time. I am hoping that it’s nice and quiet.
Reading:
I am finishing up Commonwealth by Ann Patchett. It’s really good. I thought I’d finish it this past week but things came up. Things like my lack of attention.
Watching:
I’ve been lining up my movie viewing but haven’t actually sat down to watch anything. I spent a good two hours on the Turner website adding classics to my shopping cart. I guess I am in a classics mood.
However, I will be watching The Walking Dead’s mid-season finale tonight. I hope it has some action because besides the opener, the rest of the season has been rather slow.
Making:
I have no idea what to make this week but with all this stress eating I’ve been doing here and there, I feel absolutely polluted. I think there will be (or should be) a lot of greens on the menu this week.
Grateful for:
Today I am grateful for my little pup, The Otter Pup. She knows how to read me. She knows when I need a little friend to keep me company and she knows just when to be funny. She’s going to be 7 soon if you can believe it. We just love her.
