Magnolia Mom

Saw this from Fun Mama. I like doing these and haven’t done one exactly like this before.

Outside my window… beautiful 67 degree weather.

I am thinking… why my 11 year old is crawling around on the floor when he’s supposed to be in bed.

I am thankful for… my family and the roof over my head.

I am wearing… my comfy gown since it is almost bedtime.

I am remembering… how much I enjoyed having date night with Rob and wish we could do that again.

I am going… to be going to bed soon after watching more shows on the DVR.

I am reading… High School Heroes

I am hoping… for a wonderful Christmas.

On my mind… are so many things. Lots of worries, although, I try not to, because I know it doesn’t do any good.

From the learning rooms…, you can overcome anything…somehow.

Pondering these words…, “To sit alone with my conscience will be judgment enough for me.” – Charles William Stubbs

From the kitchen… lots of leftovers from Thanksgiving. Looking forward to making some little goodies for Christmas.

Around the house… cleaning and putting away the Fall decorations to make room for Christmas decor!

One of my favorite things… is looking through pictures as I recall all the memories that flood back from each snapshot.

A few plans for the rest of the week… lots of working, start pulling out Christmas decorations, and try to eat normally.

I saw this meme over at Susie’s. Since I haven’t been absent from my little place here I figured this might be something fun to do and to let you know I’m still here. Like Stacy, I like the usual Chili’s, Red Lobster, etc, but I decided to do unique restaurants. These aren’t in any particular order just in the order that I think of.

1. Dante’s Down the Hatch in Atlanta. Fondue, very romantic, great jazz music, one of the most unique places you’ll ever go to.

2. Niffer’s Place in Auburn. Good food, good service, unique atmosphere, great burgers.

3. Durango’s Restaurant in Auburn. Well, for Mexican food in Alabama it’s pretty darn good.

4. Abuelo’s in Texas. THE best Mexican food you’ll have outside of Mexico itself.

5. J. Williams in Auburn. Although it is now closed it was some of the best food I’ve ever put into my mouth. I was so sad to see it close and even more sad to see the building that it was in (which was quite historical) was torn down.

I’m not going to tag anyone, but if you do this meme, let me know. I’ll drop by.
