1. I like to sit down with a pint of Haagen Dazs coffee ice cream in front of a good girly movie like Sense and Sensibility.
2. The Brothers Karamazov. I read the cliff notes. Bad, bad.
3. Relocate and enlarge my laundry room.
4. I like silence but have a bad habit of turning on the radio too much. Can you say talk radio?
5. We are driving nine hours north to be with my husband's whole family. We will be celebrating my brother and sister-in-law's one year anniversary of their wedding in Belarus with a reception. It'll be great to see his other brother and their family who we have not seen in six years.
1. To indulge myself~ either Chocolate peanut Butter Ice Cream, or a quiet moment in the middle of the day with a cuppa English tea with milk and sugar.
2.With so many on my list to read...hmmm...I guess I feel like I should have read the Charolotte Mason Companion by now.
3.Put in a soapstone woodstove...more economical than the fireplace. (we do love the ambiance though.)
4.Depends...Music is often going in the background...DH listens to talk when he's home & that can at times be too much "noise" for me, and when I'm on overload I prefer silence.
5.Thanksgiving will be different this year since we moved to Idaho. We are blessed to get to spend it with dear friends who moved here as well. We're gonna fellowship, worship, and most likely eat too much. :)
1. Hmmm...I like to indulge with a good book at a quiet restaurant somewhere...by myself (so sad, huh?). Just get away, eat something different, with a gripping story to keep me company!
2. I haven't read the copy of Pride and Prejudice that Lis gave me years ago. I feel so terrible. So guilty. And now it's staring me in the face again...*sigh* Sorry, Lis.
3. Well, now that dear hubby is working heartily on our laundry room, I would have to say ripping out the remainder of our nasty carpet and finish laying wood flooring.
4. I like things quiet, rather than bustly. We have family that often have 3 or 4 TVs going at once, and I will walk through and turn them off, one by one. I do like happy children sounds, though.
5. Just my mil and fil and my dad will be joining us at our home for Thanksgiving. We'll be having the typical dinner, with my broccoli casserole replacing that yucky green bean casserole that so many folks seem to adore. Kei is making her first pecan pie...yahoo! If I'm really organized, we'll do something holiday-ish and educational from our Thanksgiving Primer or something like that.
1) Ebaying for vintage goodies or flea marketing.
2) I still have not finished Pilgrim's Progress. I know, I know, it's a Christian staple. Really bad.
3) I would like for us to be living in it!
4) Silence is golden, unless I'm completely alone in the house doing housework, when I love to crank up my Newsboys Shine: The Hits cd.
5) Planning to be here in northeast Georgia, enjoying Thanksgiving with my in-laws. Jay and Kyle should be arriving on that day to join us, as well.
Roberta, the Charlotte Mason Companion is really worth the read even if you just have time to read one chapter. I love woodstoves. We had one in New Hampshire when I was in high school. Great for insomnia!
Karen, I love going to a restaurant by myself too. I thought I was the only one. And what's this Thanksgiving primer? Do tell.
lisa b., welcome! Who has time to just think and relax? I like that too.
Ruthanne, ditto about Pilgrim's Progress, although I am reading a children's version to my kids right now. They love it and my six year old son said the other day, "I want to be a pilgrim!" It was sweet. Where will you be in NE Georgia?
Well I’m a little late but thought I’d jump in any ways.
1. When I’m *alone* doing something I enjoy, whether it's painting, reading, knitting or staring at a screen:) that is when I feel indulged. (I'm sure when the kids are all grown up and have moved away I will feel induled when I get to spend time with them.)
2. There are too many books I fell guilty for not having read. I’m not a quick reader. In fact I'm just plane slow. Lately I've felt bad that I’ve never read anything by C S Lewis other than the Chronicles of Narnia. I have a bunch just haven't pulled them off the shelf:(
3. There is to many improvements that I want done. I really just want to build a new house.
4. I like silence or soft music in the background. But in the car I listen to music really loud.
5. We decided years ago that for Thanksgiving we would always stay home and invite people over. We have broken our rule this year. We are going to friend’s home. I’m a little nervous. We (I) have had control to do what we (I) wanted to celebrate this holiday. We (I) won't have that this year.
Lis, I feel the same about C.S. Lewis.
We got the Thanksgiving Primer from Vision Forum...they have a "set" of three books that we ordered...they all have great information in them. Check it out there.
1. Hot baths w/ a good book when everyone else is in bed.
2. Too many that I haven't read ~sigh~
3. Paint the inner trim of the windows...here 4 years and STILL need to do this
4. Silence. LOTS of silence ~grin~
5. Canadian Thanksgiving is past...but I can be thankful every day.....
THANKS, Meredith!
