The girls have been on Fall Break (which is really a long weekend--half-day on Thursday, no school Friday or Monday) and so were home today. I'm having a hard time getting it into my head that tomorrow is Tuesday. (And so is Audrey; she's frantically doing some homework she was saving for Monday night--and just now realized it is Monday night!)
I've spent much of the day in my mad workshop (aka the basement) working away on some crafty projects for Christmas. (No peeking yet...I'll have to remember to take pictures for AFTER the gifts are given!) Audrey spent much of her day down there with me, working on some gifts for her friends. I just love seeing my girls be crafty! It's great to see how excited she is to do something handmade for her BFFs.
Working down there is so relaxing for me. I don't watch much television, and though I love to read, I mostly do that before bed at night. So hanging out in the mad workshop and being creative is my way to unwind.
I especially love projects that are fun and simple. Nothing with too many steps, nothing too complicated, nothing finicky. That's my favorite kind of anything really--recipes, knitting patterns, projects. Simple is best in my book.
Audrey's done with her homework; I gotta go do some Bible Blast with the girls (see the Links page for more info on Bible Blast), and get into my jammies.
(And speaking of jammies, I did manage to stay in my pjs for 48 hours straight over the long weekend! Total bliss...)
Yay for jammies!! Boo that school is starting back...never seems to be a long enough break.
I have been happy all the day long for you. Sharing in the joy of my friend winning something that is way better than gum drops :)

I ditto "yay for jammies!" I thought I was the only one who could live in jammies longer than 24 hours! My secret...sometimes I camoflage myself in scrub pants :)
Our fall break was just over...sadness! I have one home (my teen) with mono and the poor thing is exhausted. Is there a legal limit to the number of times she can watch 13 Going on 30?

Joanne,
I was so surprised to "see you" on my blog! I have been a lurker on yours since hearing you on Midday Connection and then reading your book, but have never left a comment (sorry!). You have been a true inspiration to me through your book and your blog. :-) I have past your book on to my sister and a friend, and they both insist that they need a copy!!
Blessings!
Misty
