Outside My Window.... a beautiful CRISP morning with the sun shining and frost on my car windows....Brrrrr....at least it's not raining!
I am thinking.... about how much work I have to do at work! Getting ready for an annual board meeting in January, updating a new and improved website that will go live soon, and still managing the budget! Seems that the workload before the holiday break on December 22nd really hit me today! Busy, busy, busy....
I am thankful.... that Jon wasn't seriously hurt when he accidentally slipped and fell four feet from his boat and onto the crossbar of the boat trailer. He busted his tail bone, has been in a lot of pain, but is slowly mending. I am just happy he didn't hit his head or his back....or as scary as it sounds, drown.
Someone who made me happy.... my brother....for coming home for Thanksgiving. It was an all around GREAT time.
How I made someone happy.... when my friend Pam called Monday and asked to go to lunch, I changed my plans to do so. It was good to spend quality time with my friend.
I am creating.... an exercise schedule. I recently had a horrible cold and since then I can't seem to get the daily amount of exercise that I had been getting prior to the cold and that I prefer. I am working on a new schedule for the gym. Very excited to do so, too.
We are going.... to put up the Christmas tree and outdoor lights this weekend. An annual tradition of watching National Lampoon's "Christmas Vacation" and having a couple of cocktails while decorating. Always a nice time.
I am hoping and praying.... that all my family will be feeling better soon.
On my mind.... my to-do list for home. I did not paint or clean carpet as planned last weekend and want to get this checked off the list soon....hint, hint Jon....
From the kitchen.... healthy cooking. Have revamped the grocery list and have gotten Jon and I back on the low fat, high protein, low carb diet that makes us feel so good. Tonight...baked chicken on a very healthy - and big - salad! I am going to attempt to keep us healthy through the holidays....BAH HUMBUG to fudge, cookies, and pie! We don't need 'em....
Around the house.... well, we have a mouse in the house. The attic actually. Jon woke me up on Monday morning around 3am to make me listen to a scratching sound in the ceiling....very creepy. So...we set some traps in the attic and - lo and behold - we caught one. Now, I fear there are others and am a little freaked out. Luckily, we have no signs of them in our living areas. Everyone says its a common occurrence when the weather turns cold, but....still. So, Jon is on a mission. Mouse hunting. I'm very happy as I want any and all of the mice out of my house, but very sad that they have to be murdered to do so. Wish Jon and the mouse (or mice) could just have a sit down and a pleasant eviction.
I am reading.... nothing new. Due to the busy schedule of Thanksgiving, I didn't get a lot of reading done. Its a shame that I can't read into the wee hours of the night like I use too. Now I just can't make it through the next day!
