FOR TODAY... November 10, 2008...

Outside My Window...the sun is rising and it looks like it will finally be a nice day after many rainy days!

I am thinking...about what I need to get done today...busy, busy week. Largest fundraiser of year with PTC ends today and going away this weekend. Many things in between.

I am thankful for...my cold seems to be finally leaving. Although, my self diagnosis is that I really had influenza. What ever it was, it was bad and I am thankful that I felt a bit better when I got up this morning

From the kitchen...I "re-found" my bread maker over the weekend, so I think I will make some bread. As well, I think I am going to make some birdseed wreaths for teachers gifts for the upcoming holiday season

I am wearing...my pj's and a sweater

I am creating...an organized craft room. I should say Rick and I are. It is beautiful and I love what we have done so far!

I am going...away for the weekend with friends which I have had since elementary school. We are going to a beautiful spa resort and getting all sorts of goodies "done" to us! Warm rock massage, pedicures like you've never seen before...should be very fun!

I am reading...nothing. being sick all last week, I have yet to get something new to read and really have not felt like reading this past week. But, one of the things I plan on doing this week is finding a good book to take on my spa weekend

I am hoping...that our new President will make sound decisions but I am scared of what I think his decisions will be

I am hearing...my baseboard heaters clicking as the heat comes up in the house. I like that sound kinda like a fire crackling

Around the house...the "boys" are still asleep and Brownie, Shirley and I are enjoying the peace

One of my favorite things...Brigham's Peppermint Ice Cream. You have not had peppermint ice cream until you have had Brigham's

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week...get ready for trip

For Today...

Outside my Window...is sun and clear skies

I am thinking...I am sad to have my first cold of the cold season : (
And wishing it was not true!

I am thankful for... a safe, warm home as winter approaches. There are many people who will struggle with basic heating of their home and my heart is heavy for them and that struggle.

From the kitchen...Roast chicken and fingerling potatoes...yum!

I am wearing...sweatshirt, yoga pants, slippers

I am reading...nothing, just finished need to find new book

I am hoping...my cold will depart soon

I am creating...quilted place mats in fall colors

I am hearing...TV in the other room and my dog drinking his water

Around the house...busy week until about Wednesday night

One of my favorite things...listening to my son read...he loves to read

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week...vote, sell hot dogs for Fuel for Friends project during voting hours tomorrow and rest after that

Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you...
