Sunday Thoughts

[travelbug]

My dad came back for a visit on his way home to WI. The two of us went to church (H had to work) and then we went out for a yummy breakfast! I just love my dad!!!

I am off all day. The weather is making me super unmotivated to get my stuff done. I think I shall put in a movie and try to accomplish at least something! Super sleepy today. 

What is everyone up to today?

[grover]

H is at the Bears game, so I'm home alone today. I just finished treating myself to Chinese for lunch. I already did three loads of laundry, probably have 3-4 more loads. Kitchen is cleaned, I plan on vacuuming and then cleaning up all my school (work school and grad school) piles that have covered the table.

Then I plan on reading the first 80 pages of a book my student started last week. He took just over two months to read his first book. I told him I wanted him to prioritize reading so that he could finish it sooner. He calculated that he can read approximately 25 pages in the 40 minutes he is supposed to be reading daily. He told me Friday that he really wants to discuss it with me and promised me that if I got ahold of a copy this weekend that he would be ready to discuss the first 80 pages on Monday.

I'm supposed to fly out for a work trip at 6am tomorrow. We are expecting snow tonight and I'm in a town that basically shuts down at the threat of snow. I foresee an annoying day of traveling.

Travel yay for a fun visit with your dad.
Grover what are you reading?
Wandering hope you get out with little delay!

I've baked a pecan pie and hemmed a pair of dress pants. My Christmas tree is arriving tomorrow and I'm trying to figure out how many lights I will need for it.

I had plans to go get my SS gift and vacuum today but I'm not feeling great. Relaxing for now and hope I feel better soon so I can do what I wanted to do! Also wanted to play my game today but H once again took over the computer so maybe not.

On our way back from visiting friends OOT. Five hours in the car, yippee! It was nice to see them though. And we're probably halfway through the trip

I feel like I'm never here anymore
I used to be able to post at work, but there's so much going on lately that I never get a chance.

tiptoetulips It's a YA novel called The Future of Us. It looked interesting before my student asked me to start reading it with him. Here's the blurb:
It's 1996, and Josh and Emma have been neighbors their whole lives. They've been best friends almost as long - at least, up until last November, when Josh did something that changed everything. Things have been weird between them ever since, but when Josh's family gets a free AOL CD in the mail, his mom makes him bring it over so that Emma can install it on her new computer. When they sign on, they're automatically logged onto their Facebook pages. But Facebook hasn't been invented yet. And they're looking at themselves fifteen years in the future.

I'm at home. It's super cold out with flurries. Today on the agenda: vacuuming and giving the dog a bath (which I planned to do yesterday but didn't). I enjoyed the new Hallmark movie North Pole last night .

I'm currently eating some red bell pepper slices with ranch dressing.

[estrellita]

@moonbeam It's cold with flurries here too. Boo winter! So although I'm feeling better than I was earlier, I still don't want to venture out today, haha.

Forgot to mention earlier that we watched Wolf of Wall Street last night. It was pretty good!

[rockinrobyn]

I bought my SS part of their gift earlier this week. Checked on the status today and it says it will not arrive until Dec 10-17th!!!! WHAT AMAZON!

Spent the day deep cleaning the bathroom and kitchen. I also made pumpkin muffins. Very productive day!

[travelbug]

wanderingenough I hope you aren't delayed to much tomorrow!

jjwritergirl Your day sounds fabulous, and so relaxing

rockinrobyn I so hope Amazon is wrong! Mmm. Pumpkin muffins are so good!

estrellita That movie is on my list to see. I'm happy to hear it was good.

I watched chick flicks ALL day. It was grand. I got a few things done on the computer so wasn't a complete waste. H is bringing Jimmy Johns home on his way back from work!

We were lazy for the most part today. We did go to a wine club event that was ok. The wine was good but it was crowded. Plus most of the people didn't RSVP so they weren't prepared for the amount of people who were there.

[Deleted]

travelbug I love Jimmy John's! What sandwich do you get?

I'm watching Once Upon a Time now .

[katespade]

I've spent all day being lazy, sitting on the couch watching Criminal Minds. It's been amaaaaaazing.
I also got to spend two hours talking to my mom on the phone while H went out to buy my birthday present. He won't let me open it until tomorrow, though. Boooooooo.

[spankswife]

I rested practically all day. I was sore and exhausted from yesterday (hosted baby shower and has a parent social last night). We went to the park for a little today though and it was gorgeous out! Maybe 78 and sunny

[christy082]

I had a super productive day and now I'm exhausted. Went to the gym with H this morning and got a good weight workout in. Then we went to Home Depot, came home and worked around the house all day. Tomorrow we are having our family room painted and H had to replace the weatherstripping and hinges on the doors and patch some holes. Plus he hung our new sliding closet doors. I can't wait for it to all be done! After it's painted he just has to put up the new lights and we are waiting on our carpet order to come in so it can be installed. Yay!

While H did all that, did touch up painting in our kitchen, made slowcooker soup, meal planned and helped clean up the family room. Then I thoroughly vacuumed and cleaned up after dinner. Just got my shower and now I"m browsing online trying to keep my eyes open.

@wanderingeough I hope the day is much better than expected!!!

Drove back from the home state. Got to see my parents, siblings, their spouses, and my niece and nephews. It was really restful too.

[sarahsas]

We had our first snow today. About 2 inches that stuck. It's freezing. UGH.
