Breakfast - what is on the plate this morning...  Cereal, A Croissant & of course Coffee.

 

Right now I am... Just finished fellowship on periscope. I am now sitting at kitchen desk typing this out while  listening to my friend Jen's Christmas Playlist on spotify
 (Christmas favorites by Jen Wright)  Feliz Navidad!
I love Christmas music! I'm one of those people who listen to it all year...calm down...Not constantly just as the moment strikes.  lol

 

Weather... Mostly Sunny 73/47

 

Looking around the house... Boy I am so behind on my Christmas decorating but its happening little by little.

 

On todays to do list...

•  Dishes
• make beds
• Laundry- started.
• make -arroz con pollo & Chicken pasta Salad with defrosted chicken since were going to G's for dinner tonight.
• Dust/Windex
• Sweep/Vacuum
• Restrooms-Swish & Swipe
• fluff tree
• Add Christmas lights to our tree - we have a pre lit tree but some lights have burnt out (bummer)
• Menu Plan & Grocery shop - I've been so bad at my meal planning- happens every year at this time. We try to eat before we head out shopping but usually stay out to late and make pit stops... this past couple of weeks alone included:  chic fi la,  Panda Express which was free from T-Mobile Tuesdays so we Had to right? hee hee  Mc Donald's, and last night KFC and I really don't like eating out. ok maybe at chic fi la and Cracker Barrel oh and Mexican oh who am I kidding... I get cravings! to quote Kevin from Home Alone " WE ALL DO!"

Currently reading... I've got to make time to start my Christmas books. I haven't brought them in yet... We have a very small home with no storage other than our garage so I try to store everything in totes and I am a bit embarrassed to say I have more than one tote full of Christmas books, our favorite ones from when my kiddos were small, cook books, and magazines. and that's after condensing them down. What I wouldn't  give for an attic and basement.

Bible Verse or Devotional...

Ecclesiastes 4: 9-11

Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, One will lift up his fellow; but woe to him that is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up. Again, if two lie together, they are warm; but how can one be warm alone? 

please join me in sending a special prayer out for all those alone especially during the holiday seasons.

Thanks for reading.

Love, Row.
