- I’m really happy that people still wear leggings but as I look at fashion magazines I see that no models wear them. This makes me sad. Is this the last winter I can wear them? Because I wear leggings nearly every single day. I wore them off and on last winter, but most days of the week I wear leggings under a dress or a skirt. It’s as comfortable as wearing sweat pants all day and I don’t want to give that up. Maybe I’ll keep wearing them and allow myself to be the weird mom at school drop-off. (Hubby asked, “Is this where you get off the Fashion Train? There comes a time.”)
- Yesterday afternoon at Wal-Mart a man gave me a leaflet titled A Unique Teaching: In Greed We Trust. I haven’t finished reading it but so far it’s very similar to Radical, a book I read last month with some ladies from my church. I’m still trying to process that book so I find it interesting I got this pamphlet today. Is God trying to move American Christians away from our complacency?
- As I battle the fine line between greed/keeping up with the Joneses and making a happy home for my children while not overwhelming myself with more stuff that I have to keep in place: Tuesday’s column.
- I used to love getting coffee from QuikTrip. It was a cheap, yummy treat. 3/4 original coffe, 1/4 vanilla cappuccino… yum. But since I’ve learned to make my own mochas I don’t like their coffee anymore. Too creamy. And it makes me sad that my cheap treat is gone.
- Yesterday was Hubby’s first day back at work since before Christmas. I missed him. It was nice to have him home with the kids when we all laid around and ate food and watched movies and did nothing. Back to the schedules now. Blah.
- We did have a good time New Year’s Eve. Here we are at the restaurant, behind the smoke. Doesn’t it make us look mysterious?
- And here is my side of the family on Christmas. At one point during the weekend the kids were playing in another room, Baby Chickadee slept, Hubby and Todd were off somewhere, and it was just me, my mom, my dad and my sister around the dining table. The four of us seemed so tiny. I remember laughing together at the dinner table in high school and I remember all of us laughing until our stomachs hurt and we could barely get a breath at some coffee shop in Montreal, but now the four of us without the husbands and the kids seems so strange and tiny. I really love my original little family but I love what we’ve grown into as well. Here we are Christmas day:

I love this post. Makes me feel like I am catching up with you. Not the same as a chat over coffee but it will do for now.
YAY! I am so glad you are copying!! Our boys love the chip-chop restaurant…which one did you end up at…we ended up at Sumo and then off to the Warren!
