FOR TODAY December 19, 2011

Outside my window… dark. It was completely foggy until noon and then sunny with a chill.

I am thankful… for my mom baby-sitting Daniel so I could take in a concert with my dad on Saturday night.

In the kitchen… a lovely Hot Pocket for dinner. It’s not the best for me but it’s fast and easy.

I am wearing… my black Arabic shirt and my blue penguin pajama bottoms.

I am creating… this entry. 🙂 I’m done with Christmas cards.

I am going… to relax tonight instead of having to stamp and seal cards.

I am wondering… what else I forgot at the store today.

I am reading… Three Day Town by Margaret Maron. I put The Magicians down for the moment because this one is due back at the library eventually.

I am hoping… Daniel’s playground date tomorrow goes well.

I am looking forward to… the Christmas season being over and being able to go to the post office or to the store without it being mobbed.

I am hearing… our Winnie the Pooh DVD (which kept Daniel’s attention so I could finish the Christmas cards).

Around the house… Jon cleaned. I’m happy.

One of my favorite things… Coca Cola. So bad for me but I crave it during stressful times.

A few plans for the rest of the week… therapies, errands, and… yeah.

Here is picture for thought I am sharing… My dad decorating for Christmas. The explanation: my dad is a mechanical engineer and he has a fascination with farm equipment, especially John Deere. When I lived in Minnesota, our parsonage was down the street from the John Deere store so I would walk down there and get him various miniature versions of machinery and John Deere gear (a hat). I even tied a John Deere blankie for him in 2009. He keeps the machinery in the guest bathroom and occasionally changes things up, replacing stuff in the trailer and hopper with M&M’s, rose petals, and now Christmas balls. After I took this picture, he added plough furrows using colored sprinkles.
