Day Book 11/22/11

Outside my window it is overcast, no rain, but warm.  Today the high was 79 degrees. 79!! in November. I wish I lived somewhere with seasons and snow.

I am thinking all the homework I am sooooooo behind on. It seems impossible that I will be able to catch up, much less finish a research paper.

I am thankful that I have a crowded, clean, noisy house to go home to.  And I get to babysit Emily about 5 hours a day over the next several days. Definately NaNa time.

From the learning rooms. I don't homeschool but there is a lot of homework going on at my house all the time. Heather is in Drivers Ed. (scary). Lindsay is still taking parenting. She has decided that she is NEVER having children. Great class!!! I am studying Estate/Gift Tax and Advanced Financial Accounting, with a research paper on International Financial Reporting Standards.

In the kitchen there is only green bean casserole. We have our church Thanksgiving dinner tonight and that is all I am taking.

I am wearing my favorite pair of work pants and, as always, high heeled boots.

I am creating a wonderful keepsake for my grandchildren. Every week or so I write them (even the unborn one) a letter. One day I will give them to them.

I am going to have to reconsider Weight Watchers. It is not working.

I am wondering if maybe going for my Master's Degree was mistake. I am so tired of school.

I am reading "The Girl Who Played with Fire"

I am hoping to have some alone time with my husband very soon.

I am looking forward to Friday. I am cooking Thanksgiving at my house that day and babysitting Emily that evening. I forsee a whole day in my pjs.

I am hearing "Midnight Train to Georgia" on my ipod.

I am pondering how to get all the things done that I need to for family and school. Can I go without sleep for about a week??

One of my favorite things is coffee. You can never have to much.

A few plans for the rest of the week include having dinner Thursday with my husband's aunt. I don't really want to but I will do my duty as his wife.

Here is a picture for thought I am sharing


This is our cat Marco. He is 1 yr old today. He was a great addition to our fur baby family.

Day book 11/11/11

Outside my window it is dark.  It was a rather cool, 65 for the high, overcast day.

I am thinking about all the baking I have coming up. My WMU makes pies for the Inmate Work Release center for Thanksgiving each year. I want to make 2 pecan and 2 pumpkin.  We are also having a church-wide Thanksgiving dinner and I want to make my Sour Cream Pear cake. I hate only making dessert so I may make something else to. Plus pies for family.

I am thankful for my Sunbeam stand mixer, even though I crave a Kitchenaid.

In the kitchen tonight I marinated chicken breast and put them under broiler. (We wanted to grill but were out of propane.) Turnip greens, creamed corn and cooked baby carrots.

I am wearing my flannel sleep pants, white tshirt and pink and purple socks.

I am creating a list of recipes to give to my oldest daughter and daughter-in-law. 

I am going to the symphony tomorrow night. Beethoven and Blue Jeans. 

I am wondering what I can do to get more women interested in our church's WMU.

I am still reading "Girl with the dragon tattoo."

I am hoping to get quite a bit done on my research paper for school this weekend. I wanted to compare/contrast GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) with IFRS (international financial reporting standards) but not sure I have enough material to do a 10-20 page paper. We will see.

I am looking forward to the Community Thanksgiving choir performance at our church. Our church's choir, along with 3 others in the community, get together each year and perform together.  I love getting together with all those women each year.

I am hearing my darling husband in the shower.  He thinks I am crazy when I say I love the way he smells.  After work, after a shower, especially in the morning, still under the covers - that sleepy musky smell. (He needs to hurry, I wanna snuggle).

Around the house......Clean sheets on the bed, clean blanket over our comforter because we have dogs. One of which has slept with us since she was little.  She doesn't understand that she is ALOT bigger now and I need room.  She is enjoying the clean blanket right now. I also did two loads of laundry while I cooked dinner.

One of my favorite things is coffee.  I wanted to make some tonight. I can drink a pot and go right to sleep but yet I can function in the morning without it.  I didn't make any but I have flavored creamer for in the morning.

A few plans this weekend include grocery shopping and homework.  We also have to go to the YMCA 8 times before the end of November.  My firm will pay for a family membership IF I go at least 8 times a month.  Got it all set up a few days ago so I need to get going.

Here is a picture I want to share


I love lighthouses. I would LOVE to live in one.

Day Book 11/9/11

Outside my window it is partly cloudy. We were expecting rain but I don't think it will make it.

I am thinking about the fact that Thanksgiving is just over 2 weeks away. AND I have two birthdays before then.

I am thankful that I stayed involved in WMU.

In the kitchen, my daughter is cooking again tonight.

I am wearing dress pants, black long sleeve shirta and flats.............yes flats.

I am going to choir practice tonight and going to try to stop missing them.

I am wondering is I will ever be able to handle 2 graduate level classes at the same time.

I am reading "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo."

I am hoping that the holidays are not stressful.

I am looking forward to the symphony this weekend.

I am hearing Casting Crowns on my ipod.

Around the house, I need to go through bookshelves and get rid of old books and get new ones.

I am pondering the idea of starting some regular baking.

One of my favorite things is my husband. He totally started my day off great this morning.

A few plans for the rest of the week include laundry and cleaning bathrooms.

Here is picture of my wonderful husband and one of our youngest daughters.

Prayer

I have always been afraid to pray out loud, in front of other people. I believe my conversations with God are private, just between He and I. I have also always believed that I pray differently than most people I know - not better, just different.
We have prayer meetings on Wednesday nights at my church. We have a printed prayer list and we can also add any of our own. I noticed long ago that people will always pray for healing and complete recovery when someone is gravely ill or going through surgery.
That is not how I pray.

I pray for recovery ONLY if it is His will.  And that is it is not, then I pray that the person knows God and goes to heaven and for comfort for their family.

I have always been worried what people would think. I know I shouldn't but I do

Day book for 11/2/11

Outside my window it is bright but partly cloudy. There is a 40% chance of rain today.

I am thinking about a friend of mine. When you leave a job or move, etc., people tend to stop being in contact with someone they were very close to and I don't want that to happen with her.

I am thankful that I a have a job. Money is always tight but that is our fault.

In the kitchen there is Sante Fe soup in the crock pot for later.

I am wearing dress pants, purple mock turtle neck and, of course, heels

I am reading nothing at the moment. Last night I read a short story titled "Dog, passing through". It was cute but now I need to find something else.

I am hoping that a current conflict in my home is resolved with all parties unscathed.

I am looking forward to Thanksgiving. I love cooking big meals and everyone eating and spending time together.

I am hearing my ipod because I CAN'T work in silence.

Around the house there is to much "stuff". My husband has a tendency to leave things where he last used them.

I am pondering how to live on 4 hours of sleep a night like I did in my 20's.

One of my favorite things is coffee. I drink it everyday and can drink it all day. My grandmother used to give me coffee with lots of milk and sugar in a bottle when I was a toddler.

A few plans for the rest of the week - STUDY!!! I have a paper due 12/2 and finals the week after.

The picture I want to share is my profile picture. Meet Nikko, our 3 year old Rottweiler. He is a big baby.

New blog

I started a new blog. Well not new I actually started it awhile back but didn't post anything. It is a christian blog and I was going to just scrape it and do everything here but I don't want to. Not sure why. I just like the idea of things I wonder or think about spritually having their own space.

I don't know, weird.

Anyway you can get there by going to my profile or to actinginfaith.blogspot.com.
I will try to list a link on my page itself but I am not very good with that. LOL

Halloween

We decided not to do Halloween this year. Kids are all to old to go trick of treating, granddaughter is too young. We only get around 5 kids anyway. So I bought candy for us, we turned the porch light off and watched Twilight. Lol
