 outside my window... it is dark and cold and there is still a dusting of snow left.  the trash and recycling sit out front at the curb for tomorrow morning's pickup. 

 

 

i am thinking...how i truly dislike these cold day of winter and it's barely just begun

from the kitchen...i just made a toasted turkey and cheese sandwich in my sandwich press.  otherwise it is clean.  yesterday's kitchen was busy with cookie making

i am wearing...black insulated leggings, army green sweatshirt that reads, "i like weed and maybe 3 people", black socks and house slippers.  i still have my bra on, wtf?

i am reading...emir's education in the proper use of magical powers by jane roberts

i am hoping...and praying for shelter for all the homeless people

 

i am creating...a KORN Issues doll.  i just finished a kodama (Japanese tree spirit) last week

 

i am hearing...the furnace fan blowing and the squeak in my desk chair as i turn

around the house...bedding washed and bed remade, refrigerator cleaned out of non-edible leftovers, groceries bought and put away

one of my favorite things...talking with my sis on the phone

i am looking forward to...thursday when i see jason

weekend plans include...christmas with jason, seeing some local and maybe not so local lights

 outside my window...

 the day is gray, typical for this time of year. 

 

i am thinking...

 (a bit overwhelmingly) about all i need to accomplish by springtime if i am going to sell the house and move.  i am trying to embrace this change because it's something i want yet it overwhelms me.  i need more gumption!  

 

from the kitchen...

nothing is on the stove, but intentions are good for trying a new tortellini soup recipe.  yesterday i made some wonderfully good chili.  

there are dishes waiting to be washed.

i am wearing...

black legging style sweatpants with a gray "arkansas football"tee (the shirt i slept in) with a stain on the front.  i have on gray fuzzy socks and slippers.  essentially i am dressed but not too presentable, lol! 

i am reading...

mostly crochet patterns and articles of interest online.  that said, i have a book arriving soon by jane roberts.

i am hoping...

to see my son over the holidays.  i miss him a lot.

 

i am creating...

i just finished a cover i started a year ago to go over a neck/shoulder pad i use when sitting in my living room chair.  last night i began a KORN "issues" doll.  i've sought out a good pattern for over a year and finally found one on youtube.  

 

i am hearing...

the hum and clicking of zippers, snaps and buttons as clothes tumble in the dryer.

around the house...

it's quiet.  the dog is resting on the sleeping porch, things need to be picked up and straightened, i have two orders of crocheted novelties to pack and prep for mailing. 

one of my favorite things...

is phone conversations and laughter with my twin sister.

i am looking forward to...

tomorrow when my food box arrives.  it's always fun to see what's in it and what i might be able to cross off my grocery list.

weekend plans include...

nothing on the agenda just yet but cookie baking could take place.
