Advent is here

Out my window: It's pretty darn cold today, but supposed to warm up into the 40s and 50s this week.

Clothing myself in: jeans, hoodie with pink scarf

Around the apartment: We got some awesome church-sized Advent candles, courtesy of Matt's sister. We'll put up a small tree today. I forgot my ornaments at my parents', but luckily Matt has his on hand.

The hubby: He's been awesome while I've been sick. I started coming down with a cold on Thanksgiving morning, and the worst was Saturday night. With my asthma, colds work their way to my lungs quickly, so I slept in our recliner that night so I could be propped up and cough easier. He's pretty awesome about making sure I have whatever I need.

In the kitchen: Ugh, we just got back from Wichita on Saturday, and with being sick I haven't even wanted to think about food prep. I even went so far as to order in pizza last night, that is how much I did not want to step foot in the kitchen. Tonight I'm making a no-fry chicken parmesan dish (I don't have a link for that, it's in my Word documents in my recipe folder.).  I still need to meal plan for the week. I'll take a look at my favorite KC coupon site and go from there :-)

Crafting: Nothing for the youth group room yet, I'll probably get some supplies this week.

Learning: Praise God, it is finals week! While I'm dreading doing the last of the reading, and will take a while to pep myself up enough to start the tests, I'm glad that I know, after this week, I really do have a nice long break.

Reading: Eh, we'll get back to that in about a week...

Watching: a couple more episodes of Lost, a couple of Christmas movies when we were back in GP.
 
Bringing me joy: End of the semester...discernment in our marriage...being back with family...how my youth group got really into the topic of our meeting last night

Thinking about: What to accomplish from my to-do list today...doing some catch-up with volunteer work...what to do for a prayer in Advent...

Pictures to share: Mer...
