Daybook Entry for December 7, 2009

Outside my window… surprisingly sunny after being overcast all morning. Chill in the air, but still doesn’t feel like winter.

I am thinking… about the morning’s events. My daughter got sick and fainted in the bathroom. She seems to be okay now, but that was a frantic way to start a Monday morning.

I am thankful for… good health! I take it for granted far too often.

From the learning rooms… kids searching for scholarships.

From the kitchen… Parmesan chicken and salad.

I am wearing… a navy blue sweatsuit. My wardrobe is pitifully limited at present which should motivate me to lose the few extra pounds I'm carrying, but somehow doesn’t.

I am creating… a holiday cookbook with Thanksgiving recipes on one side and Christmas ones on the other. This isn’t anything to publish, just for my personal use. I’m just so thankful I actually have something to contribute to the “I am creating” prompt this week.

I am going… dentist and hair stylist for daughter this week. A few errands. Otherwise, I’m home.

I am hoping… to get the Christmas decor up today. I finally got the Thanksgiving stuff down, not packed away, just down.

I am hearing… the clinking of spoons on bowls. Nothing like Campbell’s Chicken Noodle Soup when you don’t feel well.

Around the house… a fire in the fireplace. It was much colder this morning. We probably don’t need it now, but we love fires so we’ll just keep it going.

A few plans for the rest of the week… Get Christmas decorations up, finish cleaning out files in office, visit my friend’s new house and rejoice with her, lots of prayer for others, help my new client work on her book proposal.
