I am thinking…
how proud I am of my older son and his on-line debate skills.  He is really taking after me on his love of the online debate.  His medium is Twitter.  Look who debated with him last week!

I am thankful…
That Mr. Pete got to spend some time with our oldest, Calvin, at the Brown’s game yesterday – even if they lost big time!  And even if he had to miss Lessons and Carols and church to do so.  It was the kind of event that they’ll both remember in the years to come – a real “Make a Memory kind of thing.  Calvin had been asking Mr. Pete to go all fall, but there was always something going on, and since yesterday was the last chance to do it, he just did.  Sometimes you just have to.

I am Pondering…

How did we ever let it get to this?

In the kitchen…
Spicy pork chops and potatoes with salad for tonight. Meatloaf tomorrow.

I am wearing…
Black workout pants, black T-, pink hoodie and my blue Christmas Jacket that I bought at a second-hand store last year!  It features stars, reindeer and a cabin with an evergreen – that is NOT a Christmas tree -so technically I can wear this thing all winter!

I am going…

  • to walk or work out every day but Thursday. 
  • Plan my Christmas menu   
  • Finish wrapping presents
  • Get those Christmas cards sent!
  • Practice for my last flute gig- Midnight mass!

A quote to share…
Mark this, you who never think of God,
lest I seize you and you cannot escape;
a sacrifice of thanksgiving honors me
and I will show God’s salvation to the upright.” Psalm 50
