Daybook - November 29, 2011

FOR TODAY, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 29

Outside my window... a thin layer of icy snow lays on top of my daughter's car ... traffic going by on their way to work

I am thinking ...about all I want to do while I am off work this week.

I am thankful ...for time off and a cozy home to spend it in.

In the kitchen...crockpot orange chicken.  This is a new recipe for me and I think today would be a good day to try it out.

I am wearing ...my favorite jeans and my pink t-shirt that says "my husband rocks."  This is a rare day that I don't have to dress up!

I am creating ...my pinterest boards.  This may be a new addiction ...

I am going ...NOWHERE!  Yay! I am literally on the road 7 days a week, so staying home is a treat.

I am wondering ...which thing on my list I should tackle first.

I am reading ...nothing right now.  Can you believe I forgot to bring home some library books for my vacation?

I am hoping...to be organized and rested up by next Monday.

I am looking forward to ...tomorrow.  Each day is a gift from God.

I am hearing ... the heater kick on and off.  It's only 37 degrees outside.

Around the house ...the smell of cinnamon. I love it!

I am pondering ...this quote by John Milton, 

"Loneliness is the first thing which God's eye named not good."

We need each other! Even though I am a loner by nature, I need to be more intentional about connecting with others.

One of my favorite things...candlelight and this time of year I try to use them everyday.

A few plans for the rest of the week : organizing my desk drawers, and getting out my winter clothes.  (I know it's crazy that I haven't done that chore yet, but up until now, it's been pretty warm here in my neck of the woods.)

Here is picture for thought I am sharing ...

(My cozy spot for relaxing, watching game shows and surfing the net.)
