There is a joy in the journey. There's a light we can love on the way. There is a wonder and wildness to life. And freedom for those who obey.

Preparing for Christmas


Todays picture is one of J's Christmas poses. In honor of the season! Merry Christmas everyone. This is my favorite time of year!


Last night was very nice. I got my living room somewhat straightened, got the last string of lights on my tree, and a couple of the ornaments. I vacuumed the little bits of tree off the floor so J won’t end up eating them. My kitchen is still a wreck, but if you just hang out in the living room the house looks nice. LOL

Tonight my intention was to go into town as soon as I pick up J and do a little shopping so that I don’t have to go back out tomorrow. But then my dad asked me if we could go shopping after work to get a present for my step-mom. (Today is their 11th anniversary. Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad!) So I guess it depends on how long that takes. I have to get some prescriptions filled, so if I can’t get to town before the pharmacy closes, then there’s no point in going. I’ll have to go the next day anyway. We’ll see what happens.

Today I realized that there is something going on every weekend through New Years’. I feel tired already just thinking about it. I have already told my family that they are welcome to come if they like, but I am going nowhere for Christmas. I am staying at home with my little family. I hope they all come to my house because I’d love to get together with them. Today I started planning for my Christmas dinner. Am I crazy to be thinking about that already? Maybe. But if I buy part of what I need each week, then it’s not such a huge bill all at once. So I am planning a whole new menu different from what I’ve traditionally had before. I hope everyone likes it.
