FOR TODAY... Monday, January 11, 2010

Outside my window...I can see water dripping from the roof still - a sure sign it is still above freezing outside!!  How amazing for 7pm on a January evening!!!  I wonder how Abigail's snowman is holding up....

I am thinking...I need to Email Rhona - and Rhonda!  Rhonda is Rhona with a d!!!!  :)  I am late Emailing both of them and I feel bad about both Emails!!!  Every time I sit to start the Emails I seem to get distracted by something else - either photographs someone wants me to upload or something someone wants me to do....or the weather outside!  I am also thinking how I wish this weather was here to stay....and friends who accept your home the way it is (crumbs, dust and ALL)  - they are the BEST :)  And Dads who get the flash light out to go up over the field just to see a snowman in the dark before it melts :)  They're the best too!

I am thankful for...warm sunny January days, snuggly cuddles with kittens,  my husband Lloyd who is just the most wonderful man I know and who makes my life so much easier in so many ways!!!

From the learning rooms........lazy unschooling days watching Abigail build snowmen, sledding on the hill, learning magic tricks, making chocolate rice krispy cakes, counting down to the torch relay....

From the kitchen...sweet and sour meatballs today in the crockpot...and I also used up all the opened bags of marshmallows and made some trays of chocolate rice krispy bars so th kid an take them to school.  

I am wearing...jeans - my FAVOURITE jeans from Reitmans - I love them so much I bought 3 more pairs in their sale last week!!!  Can't wait for their new stock to come in next month!!  Black long sleeved T.  from Reitmans...socks from Reitmans.  Undies from La Senza... (sorry if you didn't want specifics)

I am remembering........Christmas when Lloyd was home all day every day.....

I am creating...lots of digital layouts and now I'm working on a new header for my blog :)  I am also working on my 52 - 10 project and a few other projects :)  

I am going...to start double dating :)  I have three double dates arranged in the next month and I am soooooo looking forward to them!!!!  Anyone else want to go head out on a double date???  Join Lloyd and I for dinner?  Bowling?  Casino?  Shooting place at WEM???  Something else fun????  

I am currently reading...Shadowlands....I WILL get back to Twilight eventually......

I am hoping...to get those Emails written to Rhona and Rhonda TONIGHT!!!!!

I am hearing...Lloyd and Abby out on the quad bike in the dark - they've been up to see the snowman and obviously out for a ride in the snow having fun :)  Daddy and Abby time :)

Around the house...relaxing, enjoying having the dogs with us a lot more now they aren't being company for Charlie to stop her being depressed.....they are with us all the time now.  It's so much nicer!!  We miss her sooooo much BUT it's better for the dogs to be with us!!  Lloyd is busy painting and putting in baseboards and crown moulding.  It looks lovely :)  

One of my favorite things......relaxing in the big armchair in my craft room - it's so cozy and snug - especially if Sam snuggles in with me - or if one of the cats does!!!  I can sit here and see all the way down the driveway and watch the children walk up as they get off the school bus.  I can sit here and do digital scrapbooking, or blog or Email Lloyd at work...or read a book to myself or Sam...or I can sit on Lloyds lap while he plays his PS3.
