The Simple Woman's Day Book

For Today: December 20, 2008
Outside my window: Cool and Cloudy.
I am thinking: How much time do I have before company gets here??? ;)
I am thankful for: Christmas!
From the kitchen: Water fountain, and some lovely Classical Christmas music...along with the smell of cinnamon.
I am wearing: Brown, frilly dress.
I am reading: Stepping Heavenward, Beautiful Girlhood and my Bible.
I am hoping: That it would snow.
I am hearing: My keyboard, computer vent, water fountain, Classical Music and my mom and Mae-ma talking.
Around the house: Wonderfully clean!
One of my favorite things: My Purity Locket from Vision Forum.
I accomplished since last week: Keeping the house clean.
A few plans for the rest of the week: Well, seeing that it's Saturday...I suppose that we'll entertain guests that are coming over and get read for church to morrow.
Here is something special that I'm sharing with you:

You're Time....Is Running Out!

Alright people!
Where are my story entries? I've only had one so far. A friend has told me that he only has to edit his and he'll send it in...surely more people are going to enter than just two?! :(
Oh well, it's the 17th...you ONLY have FOUR more days, and at midnight, this contest is closed.
If you have a story to enter, I would advise that you enter it VERY soon! :)

Thanks!

In Christ,

For Today: December 15, 2008
Outside my window: Cool, cloudy and rainy.
I am thinking: That I wish it were sunny so that I could go riding!
I am thankful for: Christmas!
From the kitchen: Water fountain, Classical Music, and my mom on the phone.
I am wearing: Long, blue skirt with blue shirt.
I am reading: Stepping Heavenward, Beautiful Girlhood and my Bible.
I am hoping: That it would snow.
I am hearing: My keyboard, computer vent, water fountain, Classical Music and mom on the phone.
Around the house: Clean! *gives a sigh of relief*
One of my favorite things: My Purity Locket from Vision Forum.
I accomplished since last week: Keeping the house clean.
A few plans for the rest of the week: Ooooh...possibly go riding, do math, work on a baby blanket, and get ready for Christmas.
Here is something special that I'm sharing with you:

Home-Making Tip:

To make your house smell like Christmas, take a small pot, (a sauce pan will do) one orange, one apple, two cinnamon sticks, and a pinch of cloves. Fill the pot almost full with water, and cut the apple and orange into quarters. Put the apple and orange in the water, and then add the cinnamon and cloves. Put on stove and turn to about four and a half. It smells wonderful!

Enjoy!

In Christ,
