My week in review....

Hi!  Did you wonder what happened to the girl with curls?  Sorry about not blogging this past week....

Let's back-up to last weekend.  I spent the weekend moving and unpacking.  On Friday, my bestie brought her hubby's pickup and we were able to move 2 full truckloads plus 4 trips for Rosie.  Having those day-before-moving-day transfers made Saturday quite a bit easier.  Plus I had 10 people show up to help move and haul...and for the girls - unpack!!! 

The move itself was easy because of the many hands.  I remember waking-up the Saturday morning without a single doubt that God wasn't going to come through and provide just the right amount of help.  He did!!!  And I soo thankful to those who gave of their time and energy to be a blessing!!!

Sunday was spent unpacking between church and choir.  Honestly ~ by the time choir practice had started (5:15 p.m.) I had hit a wall.  I vaguely remember walking in to choir late and sitting on the pew just listening and being encouraged.

Monday was more of a blur.  Some time around 1:00 p.m. a low-grade temp and a headache reeked havoc with my afternoon plans (Read: typing and filing).  So I spent the afternoon answering the phones and attempting edits to a tricky Excel spreadsheet. 

Monday night's unpacking gathering was postponed and slumber was a must.  MUST!!!

Tuesday was quite pleasant after 9 hours of sweet slumber.  A couple friends came over Tuesday evening for chili and gabbing. 

Wednesday night we bundled-up and went caroling!!!  It was so much fun being a blessing because we all know "the best way to spend Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear."

Thursday....did this past week have a Thursday?   :)

Friday was our department luncheon. Fun times!!!  I like it when we all get together and have lunch and can chit-chat.

And here it is....Saturday.  This morning I had coffee with my bestie who is in town for Christmas.  I love how we can pick up right where we left off.  I miss her dearly.  Two thousand miles separate us but for the next 5 days, they are literally a 1/2 mile away!!!

Note:  There is a huge winter storm headed toward to Rockford.  Against my better judgement, I attempted to go to Woodmans today.  Ummmmmmmm....one glance at the completely packed parking lot and I was pulling out the Dukes of Hazard u-turn and headed in the direction of the red bull's eye.  I know, I know....the whole credit card number compromising situation....but IT'S THE BULL'S EYE!!!!!  Why was I shocked that Target was crowded too?  Helloooooooooo Angie!  It's the Saturday before Christmas and the day before the snowstorm. 

I managed to remember three things on my forgotten list.  (Sigh.)

After shopping, I returned home to pack up an overnight bag for dog-sitting.  Sooo here it is Saturday night and I am enjoying an evening in front of a beautiful Christmas tree with 2 ridiculous dogs by my side....and we are watching Hallmark and waiting for the snowstorm to arrive!!!

I actually like weekend snowstorms....especially right before Christmas!!!

While I was in The JoAnn Fabrics store this afternoon purchasing pre-punched paper for my 2024 garden journal, I said to myself, "Self,...
