Sitting…on the couch in the living room, sharing the space with the old dog.
Taking…a cue from Lisa and doing a status report, too.
Loving…having company here with me, but also loving the idea that the company will leave and things will return to normal tomorrow.
Wondering…which January organizing project to tackle first. First up, I suppose, is putting away all the Christmas decoration. And then?
Reading…Sola Scriptura, edited by by Don Kistler. It includes a collection of essays by a bunch of good men on the Protestand postition on the Bible.
Also reading…a bunch of old home decorating magazines. Okay, I’m not really reading them, but I am looking at the pictures.
Wanting…my Amazon order to arrive so that I have new reading material.
Thinking…that I haven’t told you this story: Before Christmas, my church choir sang several familiar carols at an extended care facility (aka the nursing home) after their annual Christmas dinner. When we were done singing, an elderly lady in the front row motioned me over to her. “That was beautiful,” she said.
I thanked her and mentioned that I’d seen her singing along with us.
“Yes,” she replied, “I picked up all those songs”—and here she snapped her fingers—“just like that!”
Enjoying…a bowl of vanilla ice cream with chocolate sauce.
Planning…to paint my coffee table and maybe a few pieces of furniture. I’m also thinking of trying to slipcover something. I’ve always wanted to do slipcovering, but I’ve been too scared to actually do it. I can sew almost anything, clothes-wise, including doing tailoring, so there’s no reason I wouldn’t be able to slipcover, is there?
Hoping…that the cold weather is all behind us now and the the warm days stay for the rest of the winter. Hoping that I wake up with lots of organizing energy tomorrow.

It’s been a busy day (again, and I’m not sure things will slow down until after Easter), but I do want to mention that I actually won something in a giveaway. I’ve been telling people that I’d never, ever won anything before this, but I was reminded that 20 years or so ago I won a screen door in a draw at a trade show. And now, I’ve won again, but this time it’s a lovely Jonathan Edwards Resolutions poster given away by Nathan W. Bingham. So woohoo for that and thank you Nathan!
