Are you cold yet?

I am. And at the moment it is almost 22 outside. That is warm compared to what the beginning of this week has in store for us. I think we're going to have a white Thanksgiving. And I won't be surprised if it holds on until Christmas.

Stay tuned. This is a cold week ahead. And keep everyone on the roads in your prayers. There were a lot of accidents today (everyone is adjusting to driving in winter conditions again) and probably will be lots tomorrow with everyone's commute. The roads are going to be slick.

Good night!

Ooops!

I missed another day of posting. I have a good excuse. . .I am sick. And yesterday, I had the worst headache I can ever remember having. Actually, I had the worst cold I can ever remember having. I didn't sleep too well last night, either, so I see some hot tea and a nap in my future for today. Anyway, wanted to let you all know that I am still alive, I just missed a day and am back now. :)

As we lead up to Thanksgiving, I just wanted to share some things I am thankful for:

- Sunshine
- Chocolate
- Family
- Friends
- Books
- Pain medicine when I have a bad headache
- Grapefruit that makes me feel so much better!

....stay tuned for more!

SNOW!

Look what we woke up to this morning!

Wordless Wednesday

11-15-10: NaBloPoMo, Day 15

It's official. . .my room has the ability to be toasty-warm when it is cold outside. This is a new experience for me because the one little vent in my large bedroom does not pump out much heat. So my room often resembles a walk-in freezer. Thanks to my new space heater, my room is now a toasty temperatures. I love it.

In other news, I cannot wait for the next few days to be over. Let's just say this has already been a crazy week and it is only Monday. On the bright side, tomorrow is Western theme night at Awana and I am quite looking forward to that. We are only having a couple theme nights this year and this is our first one. It should be lots of fun. I am planning to take Charlie (my camera) and so hopefully I will have some pictures to share with you soon. :)

We are half-way through November. Where on earth has the time gone?!

11-14-10: NaBloPoMo, Day 14

I am sharing this video with you today because it is pretty creative. Remember Lite Brites? Yeah, I always wanted one. I had a blast playing with one that my friend had. Making little pictures out of colored pins that, when lit up and placed in a dark room, were super cool. Yeah....they were neat. Anyway, here is a music video featuring Lite Brite! Enjoy......

11-13-10: NaBloPoMo, Day 13

Just a quick post to say this: Only 41 days until Christmas!!!!!!!!!

(cue excited squealing and Mannheim Steamroller music) :)

Also, I went to a friend's house to watch The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe last night on their big screen (as in, 10' big screen home theater). Pretty awesome, I must say. Even though the movie isn't really my type of movie. I hope we can watch the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy on the same big screen because that would be epic.

In other news, my room is now the warmest it has ever been in the winter - I bought a space heater today. It is marvelous. I have a rather large bedroom, but it only has one small heater vent that only puts out a small amount of heat. Needless to say, my room is often about the temperature of an ice box. Not anymore!
