For Today...
Outside my window... it is dark outside. I had planned on writing this post much earlier in the day.
I am thinking... that I had no idea I had missed last week's Simple Woman's Daybook post until a friend emailed me to see if I was OK! Somehow last Monday completely escaped me, and I hadn't even realized it.
I am thankful for... not being cookie mom this year!! Elise's cadette troop ran the Cookie Rally Friday night for 300 younger Girl Scouts. Cookie season is gearing up, and I'll be playing a small role in it this year. I'm thrilled.
From the kitchen... Domino's pizza. That was not the original plan, but it has been a long day. I didn't have energy for anything else.
I am creating... a Christmas blog post. I can't believe I've gone this long without writing one. I'm a bit behind in my blogging.
I am going... to relax tonight. It has been a stressful day.
I am reading... Affairs of the Steak by Julie Hyzy. I've gotten completely sucked into this White House chef mystery series. Since my last post, I've read Hail to the Chef, Eggsecutive Orders, and Buffalo West Wing. I really should read my next book club book, but each time I finish one of Hyzy's books, I just want to read the next. I also finished Every Last One by Anna Quindlen which I really liked.
I am hoping... that the ankle Elise broke today heals in time for our planned Disney trip this spring and also before her first jump rope competition of the season.
I am hearing... the movie, Tooth Fairy 2. Since Elise is couch-bound until she gets a proper cast on Wednesday, we had "pizza and a movie night" tonight.
Around the house... Girl Scout cookie order forms.
One of my favorite things... the iPhone I got for Christmas. It is an upgrade from my pay-per-minute Virgin mobile phone... so quite a change!
A few plans for the rest of the week... take Elise to the orthopedist, take Elise to "tour" (um... maybe just tour the front hallway?) of a middle school she wants to visit,
Here is a picture thought I am sharing... Elise's broken ankle.

Oh no! Poor Elise! I hope she is on the mend soon.

OMG that looks SO painful! Poor girl- I hope she heals quickly!
Not being cookie mom is huge but will probablu cut down on the blog fodder ;)

Thanks for the well wishes, ladies! It really did look horrible that day. I kept looking at it while we were at urgent care, and it hurt me just seeing it! It was so swollen and deformed looking. :(

So sorry about Elise's ankle. I cringed just looking at the picture. No wonder you were exhausted by the end of the day.

That picture actually looks better than how it looks now. She is swollen from below the knee all the way down to her toes!

Yes, Michele... JC finally convinced me to upgrade to a smart phone. Do you think that means I'm smarter now? :)
