For Today - December 19, 2008 - Friday

Outside My Window....it is very balmy! Add to that damp & muggy. The combo does NOT cause me to feel at all festive.

I am thinking...that I will have to MAKE myself bake kolaches. Today's high is suppose to be 75 and in order to bake I'll have to turn on the air conditioner. Don't get me wrong - I'm glad I don't live in Spokane, where there's 17" of new snow . . . but it's December & it's not suppose to be so warm. And damp. And muggy. And so tropical.

I am wondering....about a Christmas project for next year.

I am thankful for...not feeling pressured to decorate for Christmas. It's just not going to happen this year. With the weather being the way it is and my lack of Christmas decor, I'm not feeling very Christmasey. And that's okay with me. Not that I'm Scrooge, walking around muttering "bah, humbug". . . but it's perfectly okay that this is really just another week, time of the year.

I'm also so thankful to have gone to Natchitoches earlier this month. "That" was Christmas to me! So I'm not really a Scrooge . . . I just started early!

From the kitchen...the expectancy of a busy day of baking.

I am going... to bake & wrap. Wrap . . . not rap. I don't know any rap songs.

I am wearing...my comfort robe. And sock. Yep - just one sock. I must have kicked off the other one in my sleep.

I am reading...a digital photography e-newsletter

I am hoping...to keep today's "to do" list short

I am hearing...myself yawn.

Around the house…stuff. stuff. and some more stuff.

One of my favorite things...is to not feel pressured.

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week....Wrap presents. Bake sausage kolaches. Maybe go into town during the day & snap some pix. There's some very lovely Christmas art around town done by prison inmates.

Something you may not know about me...I haven't taken many photos for DAYS! That's how you know I've been sick.
