friday

It's Friday.
The day I look forward to all week as the Day I Can Get Things Done.
Sawyer has "school" all day, Savannah will be at school all morning, I can get things done in peace and quiet and without interruption.

Today my plan is to read.
I have a book from the library that is due tomorrow. I was on a waiting list to reserve it for three months and I finally got it two weeks ago (and can't renew it since it's on hold after me).

I planned on reading it on our Thanksgiving trip. And then I left it at home. So that was four days out of my two weeks with lots of wasted reading time.

The rest of the two weeks?... of course I've been busy like crazy. It's not so easy to sit down and read a book when you're baking treats and packing four people for a trip. And then it's not so easy to read a book when you're already involved in two separate bible studies involving daily reading/questions. And then it's not so easy to read a book when you have a handful of Christmas gifts to make, 70 Christmas cards to create, assemble, sign, address and mail out, and three separate Christmas events to plan/prepare food for. Also not easy to read when trying to keep your house relatively clean in the midst of trying to get it decorated for the holidays.

So I already decided.... today I'm reading.

Well, first I have a couple of errands to run and groceries to get when I drop Sawyer off this morning. And I know I'll be tempted to put the finishing touches on my Christmas cards and get them in the mailbox. And I want to take Savannah to get her hair cut when she gets home from school. And then I have to start prepping stuff for our neighborhood progressive dinner tonight.

Um, I hope it's a fast read.

Friday Questions!
It's been awhile...

1. What are you doing on this fine Friday?
2. What time do you get up in the morning?
3. What is your favorite Christmas song/album?

my answers
1. see the babble above
2. usually about 6:30
3. not sure if I could choose just one song... or a favorite Just One Album. Right now I'm always listening to Bebo Norman's newest Christmas one. An old favorite might be (embarrassingly) Kenny G's Christmas. I never owned one personally (although now that I say that, I think I do have a copy on my computer), but I've listened to endless hours of it played at naptime/restime in my classroom throughout the holidays every year when I taught preschool, and to this day there's nothing that makes me feel more holiday-ish than when I hear that music.

Your turn!
