Mundane Monday
Mundane? Yes. Unbusy? No.
Work continues to be very hectic, but for now I get a break since football season is over. We start basketball in the next two weeks, so I have to enjoy my brief reprieve.
This is my absolute favorite time of year, and my favorite month, so I was thrilled to sit on the deer stand for a few hours yesterday. Didn't see a thing, but the solitude, sights and smells of nature made me feel refreshed and more in touch with the things I love...the outdoors, beautiful scenery, and simple pleasures.
Finally got B's centerpiece done for her table. She bought an antique aluminum basket during the girls' weekend, and I made her a fall arrangement with flowers we purchased at Everything's a Dollar. It looks like a million, if I do say so myself. I love making pretty things on a budget, it...just...feels...so....satisfyingly....frugal. I guess I'm just a redneck Martha Stewart.
I fell 'off the wagon' and gorged myself on homemade oatmeal cookies last night. I swear, if I ate one I ate 15. I haven't had a sweet-binge in a long, long time. Plus, I almost drank a half gallon of milk along with it. So, I forgive myself here and now. Note to self: must drink gallons of water this week.
Still schemin' and dreamin'...working on a few things that I've always wanted to do. Who knows what lies in my future? So tell me...have you ever, or are your currently pursuing YOUR dream? Holla.

Homeade oatmeal cookies??!!!! Yum!!!!!!! I love November too, one of my favorite months. I guess you could say I am pursing one of my dreams... :)
Well, if you drank skim milk, it will cancel out the calories in the cookies - or at least that's my theory.
You asked about dreams. Sometimes, our dreams come true and it turns out it really wasn't what we wanted after all.
Until recently I did not know what my dream was/is. I am still waiting to see if this my true dream or just a phase. You would think after 33 years one would know what their dream would be...
To be satisfied.
Glad you got some good ol' relaxing time. I wish I was good at making things look good on a budget. I just don't have that "eye". I have to look at a BHG and do it exactly like that.
Someday I keep hoping my dream will be realized...someday...someday. I still believe it will!
May Peace
Hope and Love
be with you
Today
Tomorrow
and Always
Merry Christmas!
