It's Thursday!

It's Thursday!  New Years Eve.  Happy New Year Friends and family.

Outside My Window~  Started to snow right after I got up this morning.  We are expecting at least 3 inches before tonight.


 

I am Praying~  To have a great 2010 filled with many unexpected blessings from the Lord. 

Praying also for the safety of my manly man as he works in the city today and  into tomorrow...keeping America safe.

I am Creating~  I am not even thinking about doing any creating!

From the Kitchen~  We may get Chinese take out tonight from the little place on the next block.

Beside my bed~  Two of my movies came yesterday.  I started a mystery series called Rosemary and Thyme.  It was fairly okay watching.  I wouldn't watch it with the the young-uns as there were some references to children of unmarried parents and a drinking scene.



From the school room~  Rest and Recuperation for a few days more.  Home school resumes again Monday morning.

I am wearing~  Planning to stay in my pj's a bit longer!

Around the house~ Christmas decorations still up.  I was wanting to take them down today but my manly man decided he wants to enjoy the tree and decorations for another week.  That's okay with me.  I love the tree in the evening with soft music playing.


A few plans for the rest of the week~ No watch night services at church.  No parties to attend.  I am kinda glad    I am a homebody and much prefer staying in and staying cozy  with a book and a cuddly (almost) 7 year old... looking at picture books together.

I am sharing~  A book recommendation.  I love these books.  They are some of my favorite childrens books!



#2 son received this for Christmas.  We love the I Spy books as well.  We've received so many hours of enjoyment out of these books!

Be Blessed!   Happy New Year!

Terrific Tuesday

I went to the library yesterday.  I checked out several cookbooks.  I love to browse them to get ideas and copy recipes.  I've heard about a cookbook I wanted to view I found it yesterday.  I  must highly endorse the cookbook, the writer and her blog.

Please go visit her sight to receive a great blessing.

((thank you Grandma for making our wonderful slippers!))

 

I am thankful~  For being able to share Christmas with our friends.

For the rest of the day~ Our friends Chris and Sharon are coming over to help clean up leftover food. 

For the next few days~  I'll be playing with my new Christmas present and just relaxing.

I've ordered some harder to find movies from blockbuster.com
 My manly man will be working New Years Eve in the big city.
#1 son and manly man still have  the new little car in the garage working on brakes and exhaust, they are trying to get that project done.  I need to get into the DMV and get my new baby licensed up. 

Remember the personalized plate?  I am thinking of ~ DRTY RAT after the guy who burglarized us.

I pray you all had a blessed Christmas.  I am so thankful that Jesus was born and purchased my salvation with his shed blood.  I love just giving HIM thanks this time of year.


((New clothes and a dirty face!))
