Home Maker Saturday 11/22

Ok, so this link up is actually Home Maker Monday, but I don't get to be a stay at homer on Mondays, so I am making my post about Saturday. I would love to be a Stay at Home Homemaker but at this season of my life, it is not possible. So even though I am a working wife and mother, I am still a homemaker at heart and this is what my Saturday (if I don't have to run, run, run around) entails...
 
The weather outside is..... Rainy but in the 50's.  It still surprises me that after a few cold days how 50 degree weather feels so warm.  I am wearing a tee shirt and cardigan with my jeans and sandals...I Love It!!
 
On the breakfast plate this morning...Bacon and eggs made by the hubby.  I made mine a sandwhich on a hamburger bun.  There is a deli near us that always makes their breakfast sandwhichs on hamburger buns.  For some reason, I have latched on to this and prefer mine on a bun at home instead of regular bread.  I am also having an extra cup of coffee this morning in honor of the rain.  Rain and coffee just go together :)
 
As I look outside my window... A beautiful rain drizzling down.
 
Right now I am.... doing laundry (love the smell of the dryer with fabric softener) and picking up.
 
As I look around the house... I see how busy our weeks have been lately and am happy for a slower pace today.
 
On today's to do list... At some point we need to run to the big town to take Katie's computer in for repair.  It was damaged by a flying drink at the kitchen table while working on a paper....many tears flowed from my college girl.  I keep telling her it will work out.  At this point, she feels her life is over :( 
 
Currently reading... I plan to start a new book this evening.  I am not sure which direction I am leaning....fiction or nonfiction.
 
On the TV today... Doug is ruling the tv roost today.  I am sure it will be some older movie (you know like from the 70's or 80's lol) knowing him. 
 
On the menu this week... Ummmm Thanksgiving!! I am making Waldorf salad for our work party tomorrow.  I could eat the whole thing myself, for real.
 
What I am creating at the moment..I am planning to start a couple new scarves for Christmas presents.  I am going to be one of those ladies who brings her crochet projects to the basketball games this year.  I am a cheer mom you know :)
 
New recipe I tried or want to try this week...I have never actually made Waldorf salad (though it looks rather easy) so I guess that is my new recipe :)
 
Favorite photo from the phone or camera this week...


 yes, she is a "little" spoiled....

    Love reading through your list. Can't wait to hear what you decided to read. By the way, I bought whip cream for my coffee today. I think an afternoon cup is calling me!

      I hope you enjoyed your coffee! If starbucks does it, it must be the right thing to do :)

    I have not had a Waldorf salad in years. I agree that coffee and rain (and cold weather) go hand in hand. Have a very Happy Thanksgiving.

    It was so easy to make and reminded me of my childhood. I was really glad there was plenty to take home and keep eating :)

Friday's Fav Five

Today I am joining it with a new link up for me.  It is hosted by  Living to Tell the Story .   My Friday Fav Five list goes something like this... 1. My three older girls were still up watching television together when I went to bed last night.  My room is right next to the living room so I could hear their conversations.  Although I wasn't ease dropping, I did start to listen.  They were talking about casual and personal things.  I realized that they are all growing up and their conversations with each other are growing as well.  It was like listening to a group of 3 women talking over coffee.  My heart wanted to burst and I may have teared up or actually cried..... maybe. I am so thankful for this wonderful bond they will have with each other for the rest of their lives. 2.  I am just thankful it is Friday.... we have had snow and strep throat at our house this week.  I am ready to shut the books on this we...

On the Books for January 5, 2015

Today I am joining up with The Simple Woman to give you a peek into my daybook for this week...   Outside my window.... There is a light dusting of snow.  Nothing too intimidating...yet.   I am thinking... That a salad for lunch sounds good today.  I do not usually like salad so this is a little  weird. I am thankful... That I was able to spend quality time with my people the past week and a half.  I am wearing.... Work attire :( no more sweats until whenever I have to leave the house.   I am creating... I just purchased some new yarn over the weekend.  So I am getting ready to start a new scarf and some boot cuffs.   I am going... To Walmart on lunch.  Yep, back to normal this week.  I am wondering.... How many days until the next holiday :)  I am reading.... Just my devotional this week.  I am doing Jesus Calling again this year and maybe the Women of the Bible devotional as ...
