Dec 29th, 2012

There's something about Saturdays..... lovely, relaxing and plain ... well beautiful. Snow is coursing down my windows and I'm warm and snug in bed.  It's a special kind of day. Hot chocolate at 8am while reading my new book, listening to music, and looking forward to what the day's going to bring. Dreaming of love and heaven and Jesus and indescribable happiness. Meditating on Rebecca St. James moving devotional, dwelling on the fun and glory that winter will bring. 
Oh... and by the way... Christmas isn't over yet! 9 more days( that is... you know the 12 days of Christmas. :) I decided I wasn't ready for it to end so I'm still caroling till " Feliz Navidad" and" I'll Be home for Christmas." I don't care if it's January by the time it's ended. 
as the saying goes.... 
On the 12th day of Christmas,
my true love gave to me
two turtle doves and a pear tree 


 Here's a picture of my novel... wasn't sure if I posted it or not. 

Oh the joys of Christmas...

So Christmas is only 9 days away!!! Time just flies like crazy...... 
For this week's insane to do- list I feel I'm doing pretty well if I do say so myself:) 
I'm being lazy about a few things but I'm learning not to put them off... but to just get them done.. but not stress about getting everything done on time either. I've accomplished quite a bit EARLY this year.. there's for a first timer:0. All my presents were bought... even before December came.. the rest were done between Dec 1st- to today Dec 16th. and for the record.... this is the second craziest Sunday of the year. Wrapped all my presents, worked on practicing piano, made four gifts for long- distance friends, and cooked peanut butter goodies for the company in Dec 23rd. If not for music and deep breaths, it might have been a #stressoutotheextremeandgetawhoppingheadacheday :0 Thankfully, I learned to enjoy each thing and treasure the moment. like a old saying goes," no rush to hurry on to the next thing." so... now after a long day.. threading beads onto a chain while listening to" Little Drummer Boy" by Josh Groban and" Let it snow" by Jaci Velasquez. so now, at 9:17pm, I feel deserving of sipping a pineapple smoothie, relaxing on the couch, and watching Sunday Night Football  For next week's plans, I have school Monday- Wednesday and then Thursday, Friday, ChristmasEve, Christmas day, and Dec 26th are No school days. Dec 21st I'm going to Wasabi( A chinese restaurant where they cook the food in front of you!)  and the orchestra with my dad and some friends. Sugar cookie baking is for the 20th of this month and then on Saturday.. My Aunt Audrey and Uncle David are coming to visit. Then for the 23rd we have my Great- Grandma, great- aunt, and great uncles for a Christmas afternoon meal. My mom baked pumpkin pie bars and the delicious smell still fills the kitchen..:) And then on the 24th we have a concert for my mom, dad, grandparents, and aunt and uncle. It's going to be a lot of fun. I'm singing" I'll be home for Christmas,", "Let it snow," and "Jingle Bell Rock," with my little brother and my older brother is dancing to " Group 1 Crew"s new single," No Christmas( Without You). We're looking forward to partying!!! 

and last of all.... Christmas Day!!!

No- to do list,, everything check, check,,
