- Friends and family. The people who are there for me when I need them and help make my life that much better.
- Apple Pie. My favorite thing about Thanksgiving dinner! Also, it's other-half, french vanilla!
- Online shopping so I don't necessarily have to battle the crowds at the mall.
- My elliptical. So I can still exercise during the cold winter months without having a gym membership.
- Getting two consecutive nights of good, restful sleep.
Four Things I Can't Stop Thinking About:
- A late-winter vacation. I'd really like to go somewhere warm for a week during February or March. I keep brainstorming different ideas in terms of location.
- What to knit next! I have a couple friends having babies soon, so been thinking about doing some newborn hats. Or maybe some hats/scarves for Christmas gifts. Hmmm.
- My family tree research. I spent a lot of time this past week going through all the information I have and researching on ancestry.com. I keep thinking about where I can search next to get past a couple of brick walls.
- My boyfriend and what he's doing and how much longer til he comes home... Been without him for 6 days -- but he comes home today!
Three Things I Want To Accomplish This Week:
- Use the elliptical for 30 minutes at least 3 times this week
- Purchase the first of the Christmas gifts.
- Clean up my blog a bit -- update the Categories, as well as tweak the About Me and Turner Syndrome pages
- My back, which is still hurting from a couple weeks ago. Still hoping it's nothing serious and will eventually go away. It does seem to be improving some.
- Going back to work. I only worked two days last week and it's always rough going back after extra time off. Was really getting used to this rest and relaxation thing.
- My local grocery store, overall, is pretty amazing. Great produce. Great meat. But lately every time I go they are always out of something I need. Usually it's at least two things. This week it was chicken tenderloins and frozen chopped spinach. Last week it was Pomodoro sauce. Grrr. I know I could just go over to the other store that's also about 5 minutes from my house, but I don't want to have to. That's extra work, man!
