Outside my window... it is chilly and damp. And dark. I can't believe I'm up this late, but then it's been dark since suppertime.
I am thinking... that I wish I knew where my choir notebook is. All the Christmas music is in there... and only 10 days until Advent.
I am thankful for... people in choir who share their music with me when I show up for rehearsal and discover my notebook is not in my bag.
From the kitchen... it was leftovers night. I am still cooking for more than two people, apparently.
I am wearing... my blue fleece bathrobe and fuzzy slippers, which was what I had on when I last did a daybook two weeks ago. But that was morning, and this is nearly bedtime. As soon as I finish this post.
I am creating...nothing right this minute. But I need to start Lauren's Christmas stocking very soon.
I am going... nowhere tomorrow. This will be the first time all week. I am excited! (Oh, wait; I just realized that two of the possible lurking places for the choir notebook require going to the church. Sigh.)
I am reading... catalogs (for Christmas ideas) and magazines (because the new issues just came) and books (10 checked out, 5 on request/hold) and blogs (because I have to keep up with all of you)..... It's a good thing I like to read. And let's not mention Twitter and Facebook.
I am hoping... that my turkey thaws before Thanksgiving. I moved it from the freezer to the refrigerator today, but if my track record is any indication I will need to hasten it along with water even so.
I am hearing... the refrigerator running, and my key-click, which I don't usually notice. Even the animals are asleep.
Around the house... the cat has knocked the miniature pumpkins off the table again. I would be more upset by this if it wasn't for the fact that when he's batting the pumpkins, he leaves the salt shakers and the toothpick holder alone.
A few plans for the rest of the week: make homemade pumpkin puree, and cook and mash the sweet potatoes for the casserole. The cooking countdown begins!
Words I'm pondering :" It is eleven PM. Why am I not in bed??"
Here is a picture thought I am sharing....
just in case you haven't clicked over there yourself....

On the subject of leftovers-we have leftovers at least twice a week. I usually intentionally make a meal with 4-6 servings (my daughter doesn't eat much at dinner and my son is still on baby food) just so we'll have enough left for another dinner. I actually think it's nearly impossible to cook a meal for just two people.
Oh, and hi! I found your blog via Arwen's blog. I'm de-lurking this week.
