Good morning!
Just finished my delicious caramel-flavored coffee and a mock S-bux lemon cake (healthy version) for breakfast and am getting ready to review my to-do list. I usually write out my personal 1-year goals every Sunday, then do my monthly goals at the very end of one month or very beginning, just depending on when Sunday falls in that. And then weekly, I take things from the monthly list and put them down to do. But, being gone to Dallas last week I didn't do that and so I need to focus on the list this week. We decided to invite a family of 6 for Thanksgiving for dinner when we found out they were not going anywhere, soooo, I need to figure out seating. Also, their four kids are about the same age as my younger four, so do I use the good china for the little kids or give them Corelle plates? I don't know the etiquette for that and this is my first year actually having china to use. You may remember I got it when we went to Ky in Dec/Jan and brought back our things that had been in storage in my in-laws basement. I believe I have service for 12 so am thinking to give the 2 YO, 3 YO (mine) and 4 YO Corelle plates---does that sound okay?
Anyhow, I want to pace myself and get any deep cleaning done early in the week so that Wednesday is free for baking. I also have a funeral to attend Wed. at 2 PM, so really want to not be stressing that day. Since I just deep cleaned and rearranged the living room less than 2 weeks ago, it just needs a bit of touching up, but the kitchen could use a little TLC. Also, still working in my bedroom. Got a fair amount done last week but need to delutter the top of the cedar chest, move some things, etc... . When going through the garage this weekend, I found some clothing given to me last year and it now fits since I've lost weight! That is really exciting as I've made it through the past year with only one pair of jeans. Now I have 3 new ones, plus some other pants, sweaters, skirts, etc..., but I had just cleaned out my closet and may need to do another pass to make room for everything.
Sorry for the book...I get typing and my brain gets moving.
Dinner tonight is chicken and dumplings and either broccoli or green beans.
Have a wonderful Monday!
