Simple Woman's Daybook - December 22, 2014

FOR TODAY:

December 22, 2014

Outside My Window:

(actually outside the balcony door)

a rainy, over-cast

not-too-chilly day;

warm enough to have the door open

and no heat.

I Am Thinking:

Nest year I need to...

Plan Ahead;

Start Earlier;

Save Money;

Be Prepared for the Holidays!

I Am Thankful For:

Loving, Caring

Friends

who help me

when I am down!

In the Kitchen:

Left-over Goodies

from hubby's family

get-together on Saturday;

and a sink-ful of dishes!

I Am Wearing:

jeans, pink shirt, socks;

kicked off my crocs

when I sat down

on the couch!

I Am Creating:

Nothing!

Plenty to do

AFTER

the holidays;

preparing for craft show

and yard/craft sales.

I Am Going:

No place else today!

Christmas Shopping

is DONE!

I am going to RELAX!

Except for some wrapping

AFTER this movie!

I Am Wondering:

How long the rain will stay;

and,

if it will get colder!

I Am Reading:

Still reading

"The Silver Chair";

Book 4 of

"The Chronicles of Narnia"

by C. S. Lewis

(I only have a few pages left to read!!)

I Am Looking Forward to:

Christmas Eve Candlelight Service

Christmas Day with Family

New Year's Eve

(probably chillin' at home!)

New Year's Day

(probably scrapbooking with friends,

while the guys watch

football games!)

A New Year - 2015

I Am Learning:

to Receive

Gratefully

(see "Sunday Reflections"

Receiving is Love)

I Am Hearing:

the TV...

the loud TV!

Singing on the movie;

Screaming on the commercials...

Now...

the volumn button works,

and it sounds much better!

Around the House:

Gifts sitting around,

in bags and boxes,

waiting to be wrapped!

A Favorite Quote for Today:

One of My Favorite Things:

Fun holiday music and movies;

and relaxing enough to enjoy them!

A Few Plans for the Rest of the Week:

Tuesday - wrapping gifts;

baking cookies with

daughters and grand children.

Wednesday - more wrapping;

Christmas Eve

Candlelight Service

at Church.

Thursday - baking dessert

for Christmas dinner;

Dinner with the family;

and presents!

Friday - maybe nothing!

Saturday - maybe scrapbooking

or nothing!

Sunday - Church;

Special Flowers

in Memory of

My Mother

who passed 2 1/2 years ago.

Love and Miss you sooooo much, Mom.

A Peek into My Day:

Almost shopped 'til I Dropped

trying to finish Christmas shopping!

Now Relaxing!

First day of relaxing

in quite a few weeks!

Cook Dinner

Clean Kitchen
