Christmas time is here...

I am getting pretty excited about Christmas coming! My Mom came in on Black Friday and we did a little shopping at our local store where we got a few Christmas things on sale. So we commenced to decorate my apartment that afternoon. We bought a wreath and tied on a few ornaments and a bow to finish it off.

I just love it! Then we put some extra ornaments on top of my cabinets on a cake stand with a juice glass in the middle and a glass plate on top to add some height. I had put up garland up earlier with lights and berries, and today I hung the paper stars and snowflakes. Doesn't it look cool?

We also covered my air conditioner (since it let cold air in) first with a pillow case tacked on, then the wrapping paper.

Outside my window...... the street lights are glowing with Christmas lights--did I mention it's not even Thanksgiving yet?!

I am thinking...about this quote from a movie I'm watching--someone was using an excuse saying how she was keeping in touch with email and the response was "Well, thank God for email! You can have an entire relationship and not even look at somebody. Email? Really? That's lame." It cracked me up. It's really what it's like today with text messaging, facebook, etc.

I am thankful for......my husband who is so sweet and loving and always makes me smile.

From the kitchen....... I am on a popcorn kick. Gotta love it!

I am wearing...... T-shirt, workout pants and socks. Just relaxin'.

I am creating......ummmm nothing? Unless you want to count Christmas cards?

I am going......to exercise tomorrow and do laundry...really..I am....

I am reading...... The Shunning by Beverly Lewis...AGAIN. I love that story.

I am hoping...... that Thanksgiving is a fun time with my in-laws!

I am hearing....... the TV in the background and my husband on the computer in his MAN CAVE.

Around the house...... a candle is glowing as well as my pretty fall decorations which I'm sad have to come down in a few days.

One of my favorite things....... having dinner with my husband.

A few plans for the rest of the week...... to have a wonderful Thanksgiving and then get to put up Christmas lights afterwards!
