8:16 am

Coffee pot.

Crumbs on counter.

Travel mug washed and still on counter from my intern meeting on Monday morning. (Evidence that I am the only person who puts hand washed items away and I've had a busy week.)
Outside my front window. It's frosty today, but really, quite warm for January. Our highs have been about 10 degrees above normal all month.

It's garbage day.

Someone needs to pick up pinecones.

E. watching tv. Thursday is the only morning I allow this, since it's late start at school. They have to hang the clean shirts up while they're watching.

Savannah also watching - surrounded by shirts that need to be taken to their respective closets.

Doesn't she just look bored out of her gourd?

The sun is shining. Hallelujah! This has been such a fabulous winter - especially after the ALL the snow we had last year.

The closet door is open, as it is almost every morning. Somehow the kids have no problem opening it to get their backpacks out, but they never seem to get it closed. Notice the pile of stuff on the floor of the closet... apparently hanging coats up is too much trouble.

More shirts on the chair.
My coffee cup.

Gracie girl.

Don't you love the stray dryer sheet under the chair?

I like to keep it fresh.

My coupons out on the kitchen table. I'm planning a trip to the grocery store today.

E.'s lunch out on the island waiting for him to pack it.

The pretzels are out because Kyler added them to his lunch and didn't put them away afterwards.

Again, please note the sunshine. I never get tired of sunshine streaming into the house during the winter.

Happy Thursday, friends.

    Thanks for the peek inside your house! :) Love the shirts laying....the kids each get a basket that typically does not get emptied totally until I call for it aweek later and they need to use it for dirty~ I refer to them as "the other dresser" when they can't find something they want to wear!
    How is Gracie's knee??

    Loved the little visit to your house this morning.....Made me feel warm and confortable especially with the dryer sheet under the chair. What a nice homey touch. Lorraine should suggest that to her clients for the "homey look"
    Wish we lived closer so we could visit in person more often : )
    Love you

    The sun is so rare in these parts during winter, I don't mind it's rays coming anymore. It's welcoming, and refreshing.

    I JUST had a conversation with our girls about the junk on the floor of the coat closet. WHY did we install hooks anyway?

    I love your everydays.

    Loved this post. My favorite photo was the plain, simple one of the dryer sheet under the chair.

It came out of the faucet that way.

It's been months since I've had a "Getting to Know You Wednesday." Life's been a little crazy. So today, when life is a little bit calm and I've got the least chaotic week I've had for ages, I thought I'd jump back in. So today, if you leave me a comment telling me your most favorite-ist movie line ever, I'll enter you in a drawing for your very own copy of Josh Groban's new Christmas CD - Noel . It's a good one, folks. Classic holiday music from such a wonderful vocalist... you'll like it, I promise. I just want one movie line. Not your three favorite... not a paragraph. Just one line. The one you find yourself repeating. The one that makes you laugh every time. Your very favorite movie line of all time. And if you're the first person to name the movie my title is from, you'll get an extra entry in the drawing. Now, let's hear it.

30,000? For real?

So, if you scroll down to the bottom of this here blog, you'll see that I'm probably just a day or two from reaching 30,000 hits. That's just freaky. And in just under 2 years. (I didn't add the counter until after I'd been blogging for several months...) So in honor of almost reaching that milestone, this weeks 'getting to know you Wednesday' question is this: What would you do if you won $30,000? I like this question, because it's not an overwhelming number, and therefore not brain-freeze inducing. It's big enough to be able to accomplish some nice little projects around the house, but not so large that you have to worry about your third cousins from the Ozarks showing up on your doorstep looking for cash so they can put veneers on their teeth. Answer my question this week and you'll be entered in a drawing for 30 special little trinkets in a lovely little goody box. (And when I say trinkets, I mean trinkets. We're talking 30 little lovelie

Are you ready for this?

How did it get to be Wednesday? Seriously. There aren't enough hours in the day - even when you're up at 2:00 am. And no - I didn't get up at 2:00 this morning. I slept all the way until 5:00! Anywho - I decided I needed something new to blog. Something to shake you all out of your 'thoughts from the deep recesses' stupor. Something to get your blood pumping and your fingers tingling. Something to inspire long and meaningful comments. From you. My beloved readers. It's a new weekly Thoughts From the Deep Recesses feature. It's "Getting to Know you Wednesday" Now this could either be lots of fun, or it could just totally flop, and I could go to bed crying because my blog readers are a bunch of takers who only come here to read and never interact. Like a piece of fresh fruit, you squeeze the juice out of my hard-written and well thought out posts and then you toss them aside, wandering on to the next blog with a simple click of your mouse.
