What's Going On Around Here

For Today...October 24,2015

Outside My Window... A beautiful fall day.  Lots of fallen leaves from our hundred year Maple trees. I am not a fan of raking them up because I think they make the ground so beautiful and I love the crunch and swish sound when you walk through.

I am thinking...how much I love fall.  The coziness of it all.  Pumpkin spice, chili, high school football, Halloween, back to school, Honey Crisp apples, sweaters and boots.

I am thankful...for a great family, good friends, a job I love, and  all the blessings God gives me everyday.

I am wearing...It is 9:30 on Saturday morning, so my pajama pants and a Titans football tee shirt.  Styling.

I am creating...nothing lately but I have been  pintresting like crazy :)

I am going...to the high school's first murder mystery dinner this evening.  Cassie is in it, Madi is serving, and all the proceeds go to support the Spring Musical.  It is going to be fun! 

I am hoping... that this warmer fall holds out for another month :) I am loving the temps.

In my kitchen... I am planning to make our favorite crockpot cheese dip this afternoon.  The kind with velvetta, rotel, and hamburger....yummmm

Happy Saturday!

Daybook....

Good Morning, I am linking up with  The Simple Woman's Blog  for the weekly Daybook For today... February 9, 2015 Outside my window .... Chilly (in the 30's for a high) but no snow.  Most of the snow has melted from the warm temps this weekend. I am thinking ... that I had a great, great weekend with my family. I am thankful. .. that my children view each other as important.  We had to plan Lucy's birthday celebration around Katie's work hours because she just started her new job and can't request time off.  Lucy would have never considered celebrating her birthday without her big sis present. I am wearing. .. my sparkly sweater again.  I must need the sparkles to handle a Monday morning. I am creating ... nothing at the moment, but do have some unfinished projects.  My mind has been exhausted lately and I am just chilling and puttering around. I am praying ... for a family decision that could make a huge difference in our live...

It's OK

Time for some grumbling, snarkiness, and maybe a little bad attitude... So who came up with flowered scented dish soap?  Someone who drinks perfume?  This is just so gross. Really. Why must the good foods be fattening?  Why is Coca Cola bad for your weight, health, teeth,etc. but so good for your mood?  I would say that it is just me but the fact it is a billion dollar industry would contradict that, just sayin. Why did God not give me the love of cooking to match my love of eating home cooked foods?   Where do all my socks go? Really, my house is not that big. Is it really necessary to get hot sweats at night?  Wouldn't society be better if the menopausal women at least were well rested?  I think I need a snickers, I am definitely in Diva mode today!!

Your Favorite Christmas Tradition

  We have developed many traditions for our family over the years.  We always open one present on Christmas Eve, we have Grinch Punch on Christmas Eve, we lay out cookies and a beer for Santa (this has been since my childhood), sprinkle oatmeal in the yard for the reindeer, have sparkling grape juice and chocolate eclairs on Christmas morning, and we go see a movie as a family on Christmas afternoon at the movie theater.   Leading up to Christmas we have chocolate advent calendars, have fun with R.J. our Elf on the Shelf, go to the surrounding towns that have light displays on a  snowy evening, attend  the Santa breakfast in town, and enjoy the school's Christmas program.   We have many family dinners and get togethers to attend to wish everyone a wonderful holiday and spend quality time with the ones we love.    My favorite tradition?  Probably leaving cookies and beer for Santa.  I don't know how it started but...
