1. One of my favorite things about December is Rankin-Bass Christmas shows. 

2. I like handmade ornaments! 

3. This is what I'm hoping for today/tonight: some rest because tomorrow is going to be a very long day. 

4. Does there have to be constant noise? 

5. Ooh, a bed - I need to test it with a nap. 

6. Salvation Army bells are ringing! 

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to quiet before the storm of tomorrow, tomorrow my plans include seeing Brandon help a Brother Scout with his Eagle Project, Mineola MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) Breakfast with Santa and the Christmas parade with my Brownie Girl Scouts and Sunday, I want to sleep for a long, long time!

2. I'm looking forward to eating pumpkin pie.

3. On and on and on we go - when it stops, we'll never know.

4. The last time I saw my Daddy was at the birthday bash. 

5. Can you believe I have four kids? I never saw myself with more than two.

6. I need a visit to the dentist to get two teeth pulled.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to quiet, tomorrow my plans include marching in the local Veterans Day parade and Sunday, I want to work on crochet orders all day!

1. In November, I most look forward to Thanksgiving dinner - especially the turkey and cranberry sauce. And pumpkin pie.

2. I finished the earwarmer for my friend Donyale in time for her to wear it to the game tonight so her ears don't freeze off...phew!

3. It's right there, in the middle of the floor, most likely.

4. I don't remember the last time I had peace of mind. 

5. Water is therapy - especially when it's warm and in a bath or shower.

6. "Put a cork in it or tie it in a knot," is what my grandmother used to say!

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to quiet nothingness, tomorrow my plans include church and Sunday, I want to sleep for that extra hour we're getting!

2. I like to look at, but not feel, snow.

3. And since we are on the subject, I don't like cold, period.

4. Why does it sound so much more dignified when you call liquor spirits? 

5. Where there are children, there are arguments and messes.

6. Tomato soup with grilled cheese sandwiches is one of my favorite meals when it's cold out.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to the last home game of the season, tomorrow my plans include going to church and Sunday, I want to alternately sleep and read all day, but that won't happen!

2. It seems to be a rarity these days to see someone taking responsibility.

3. So...in a way bananas are oranges. In that they're fruit. Or that I couldn't think of something to fill in the blank.

4. So you're going to be respectful, right? 

5. The big difference in your views of someone changing is usually a change in yourself rather than a change in them.

6. Creating makes me happy.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to quiet time, tomorrow my plans include hearing the Southwestern Adventist University Wind Symphony, hopefully seeing a lot of people at the Uncle Buck Fish Fry, and reading a bit at the Mineola Memorial Library's Read-a-thon, and Sunday, I want to have my kids sort all the laundry!
