JAN 12.2010

Outside my window........ a new day is beginning. It's a little grey with a temp of -8 deg Cel. There's a slight chance of flurries as well. So, I must continue to imagine the snow melting and enjoy my daydreams of spring and gardening.
*
*
I am thinking................... about having lunch today with my friend, Laura, whom I seldom get to spend time with.
*
*
I am thankful for.............. my warm, down-filled, bottom-covering winter jacket. I don't like to be cold!
*
*










I am wearing.................. my brown dress pants and green dress shirt with the flower necklace that Adriana brought me back from Mexico. I'm also wearing my new Alfred Sung perfume! I smell n-i-c-e!!

*
*
I am remembering........... my friend Margaret Teal whom I served with for many years on the LaHave Fire Auxiliary; her husband's funeral is tomorrow afternoon. He was a sweetie with a lovely sense of humor.
*
*
I am going......................... to work! But I'd much rather crawl back in bed and read; then I'd get up and finish the laundry, bake Marie's recipe for scones, make a pot of squash soup, check out all your blogs and possibly take a nap.
*
*
I am currently reading... "The Friday Night Knitting Club". (It's in all the bookstores for $16.50 Canadian [plus 13% tax] but I was fortunate enough to get it at Frenchies for $1.85.)
*
*
I am hoping...................... that my daughter Molly will call soon or come home to visit. I miss her.
*
*

On my mind..................... posting entries in Simply Accounting, balancing books and bank statements, getting T4's ready, sending out 3 Government tenders this week, doing up the payroll for tomorrow. (Eek! It's year end!!!) ................. Also on my mind ................ where can a harried bookkeeper get a really good cup of latte at this time of morning in this hick town?
*
*
I am noticing that..................... my pants are tighter since Christmas!!! How the heck did that happen?
*
*
I am pondering these words........ "Put that chocolate away for a couple of months, Sandy!" (I just received my 3 free Chocri personalized bars in the mail. What a time to begin eating healthily!!)

*

*
In the kitchen.................... dirty breakfast dishes. But spaghetti with spinach pesto and meatballs along with a green salad for dinner tonight!
*
*
Around the house.............. I've really been enjoying my clean and completely organized bedroom. (It took me all Thurs and Fri evenings and Sat day to do it, but now I know where to find things!)
*
*
One of my favorite things.......... My Bronnley hand & body moisturiser that the girls gave me. Sometimes after I bath, I like to apply it to my legs and feet while I'm in bed; then I can fall sleep to the soothing scent of lavender.

From my picture journal: My girls and I on my 50th birthday

Anything seemed possible for any one of us at that time!
