Month: November 2012
(a bonus) Helping.
Some days, I avoid my quiet time like. the. plague. The stronger the pull to my journal, bible and purple pen, the stronger I resist; I just know it is going to be brutal enlightening. I thought I would be safe by going first to my Advent devotional. Yes, *sigh* I know it's not Advent [...]
Heaven.
...the first cup of coffee in the morning....Chloe snuggling into the crook of my neck, stretching her right front leg out onto my shoulder, paw flexing, kneading for just a moment and then relaxing lightly, comforting her and me....all of my critters, really. ...home alone, fireplace flickering, book in hand, cup of hot tea with [...]
Get ‘er done.

While we are Pastor-less at church, I am trying to go through files, purge, etc. While we are still Shawn-less, I am trying to get the utility room and basement cleaned out, organized, etc. Also working on Shawn's room...but don't tell him.

Guess I [...]

Books.
I love books. Every time My Man brings up purchasing a Kindle or iPad or some other fun reader type techy thingy, my initial reaction is always, "yes! Let me look at them and I'll email you the link of the one I have to have!" So I start scouring the Internet searching for just [...]
Advent.
Hoo-ray! It's November 1...aka The Official Start of the Holiday Season! (Disclaimer: My Man wants to state categorically that it is NOT the Holiday Season until the day after Thanksgiving.) *confession...I've been listening to Christmas music since September a week or two into October*Whatever. He is also The Man who believed that a Christmas tree should [...]
