The Simple Woman’s Daybook November 14, 2010

FOR TODAY… from Stacey’s Daybook

 

Outside my window… ~43 degrees, windy and gray outside.  A true November day.

 

I am thinking… ~There really needs to be more gratitude in the world.  People who take others for granted will have a real wake up eventually.

I am thankful for… ~the little town I live in.  There are no jobs here, there is no shopping.  Really, the town is dying…but I love it here for some reason.

I am wearing… ~a purple turtleneck and jeans.  Turtlenecks and jeans are probably my favorite outfits ever.

I am remembering… ~what a fabulous time I had in Minnesota last weekend.  I got to meet my friends Nathan and Yolanda and their little boy Keston at Mall of America, and I enjoyed that so much!  We’re going to get together again, but not at MoA.  The craziness there is just too much.

I am going… ~start wrapping Christmas gifts on Monday.  Yes, I’m ahead of the game.

I am currently reading…~nothing bookwise.  I am reading magazines and the internet, and *gasp* actually watching some television.

I am hoping…~to start the cross stitch project I bought at Crafts Direct soon.

On my mind… ~making Thanksgiving cards.  This will be my first attempt at something like this, I have the plans all laid out in my head.

Noticing that… ~my family (parents, brothers, sisters) is not nearly as close as it once was.  I’m actually okay with this.

Pondering these words… “Be thankful for what you have.”  I am indeed thankful,  for I have an abundance.

From the kitchen… ~4 dozen chocolate chip cookies and snickerdoodles for the Little Heroes blood drive on Wednesday; Ham and cheese omelettes and toast tonight;  Rag Soup tomorrow night; Pumpkin spice chex mix, regular chex mix, chicken fried rice on deck.

Around the house… ~Sweeping, dusting, laundry and decluttering flat surfaces.  Getting ready to host my cookie exchange, I can’t believe November is half over already.

One of my favorite things ~socks.  I collect them, and can’t seem to get enough.  The funkier the pattern, the better.
