monday musings

...
Today...

Outside my window... the clouds are inching ever closer. Rain and then snow will arrive some time this afternoon.

I am thinking... how could I forget my hair appointment! I know; I usually schedule them for Wednesday. For some reason, I scheduled this one for a Monday. Good thing I can get in later this afternoon. Still.....

I am thankful for... for such a kind and understanding hairdresser. This isn't the first time I've done this.

From the kitchen... nothing. I just loaded the dirty dishes in the dishwasher so it looks cleaner than usual.

I am creating... nothing. Unless you consider decorating and wrapping presents.

I am going... to California next week!

I am wearing... jeans, long sleeve t-shirt, and vest. No shoes or socks yet.

I am reading... Twilight. I enjoyed the movie and wanted to know more about the characters. So, here I am reading a book I never thought I would.

I am hoping... to get a phone call from my son today. (He said he would)

I am hearing... I have the news on but I'm not really listening to it.

Around the house... not enough Christmas decorations. I don't want to put them all out since we will be away for a good portion of the holidays.

One of my favorite things... Christmas

A few plans for the rest of the week... a trip to the mall tonight, work, mailing some gifts, small group meeting, meeting with some friends, and a Christmas party at the end of the week.

Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you... here's what you get when you try to fit three on a [small] couch....

What a fun post. I love it when my friends do these. You are such a jet-setter. Have a wonderful time in California. It seems like you just came back from there. Time does fly.

I've forgotten my hair appointment too.

Love that pic of the 3 of you on the couch.
You will have a nice time going to CA for Christmas.

Like the musings - journal...I may have to try this sometime.

I like your new blog look too.

I didn't mean a blue sun...I meant a blue sunshine on my shoulders...I was referring to the background.

I like it....

but you've always been sunshine yellow....

now you're blue. a beautiful blue...

takes some getting used to, does blue.

love the new look of the blog. and can relate so much to the photo of the cramming on a sofa. i remember the good old days when my husband, myself and dog could somehow fit...and enjoy it:0) not so anymore.

I LOVE that picture! That is just how I imagine you all being - fun-loving and close and laughing!

Wrapping presents is definitely creating.

Thanks for your 'mouse' comment, Diana. I put an answer there, just below yours. Figured someone else might want to know.

I love your Christmas design! So pretty. We got about 4 inches of snow up here. Not too bad, but the streets were sure icey.
