FOR TODAY<\/strong> November 29, 2015<\/p>\n Outside my window…<\/strong> dark. It got to about 59F earlier when I was sitting out at $tarbux<\/a> having coffee with Rebecca<\/a>. I was loving the cold even if I wasn’t dressed for it at the time. (Note to self: tights are a good thing in places where it gets chilly during late fall\/early winter.) <\/p>\n I am thinking…<\/strong> about Advent things and worship this morning at my church. I love the Trisagion<\/a> setting that we are doing in place of the Gloria for Advent. (The text is here<\/a> and the music is here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n I am thankful…<\/strong> for several days with Jon, my evil twin, and the evil twin’s wife.<\/p>\n In the kitchen…<\/strong> shrimp linguine made by my dad. We all licked our plates completely clean.<\/p>\n I am wearing…<\/strong> charcoal shirt and gray pajama bottoms.<\/p>\n A Daniel story for today…<\/strong> Kiddo lost his other front tooth while eating corn chips on Thanksgiving. He’s missing exactly the same teeth that I was at his age. (We watched some old home movies from that year this last weekend.)<\/p>\n I am going…<\/strong> to be making a Goodwill run tomorrow morning. I think the guy who mans the trailer is pondering closing it up and claiming that it’s full each time he sees me.<\/p>\n I am wondering…<\/strong> what to do to get my kid to sleep well again. He’s finally going to sleep… at 9:45 p.m. after my mom chewed him out for screwing around. (I think he’s really stuffed up and uncomfortable so he’s having a problem getting to sleep.)<\/p>\n I am reading…<\/strong> Come Rain or Come Shine<\/u> by Jan Karon. It’s interesting to read the story from the point of view of some of the other characters.<\/p>\n I am hoping…<\/strong> that I can go to Knit Wits on Tuesday.<\/p>\n I am looking forward to…<\/strong> Daniel sleeping well again.<\/p>\n Around the house…<\/strong> sheets to wash tomorrow.<\/p>\n I am pondering…<\/strong> what I have to get done this week.<\/p>\n A favorite quote for today…<\/strong> “Keep back nothing. Nothing that you have not given away will be really yours. Nothing in you that has not died will ever be raised…” — C.S. Lewis<\/p>\n One of my favorite things…<\/strong> venti iced vanilla latt\u00e9s from $tarbux<\/a>.<\/p>\n A few plans for the rest of the week:<\/strong> Goodwill runs, possibly Knit Wits on Tuesday night, choir on Thursday night, and whatever else comes up.<\/p>\n A peek into my day…<\/strong> My friend Thomas put together a wonderful Advent playlist on YouTube several years ago. As I’m without my iTunes at the moment, I’m listening to it to scratch that itch.<\/p>\n
