Today, I am wondering...
- If anyone else has a closet with perfectly good clothing in it, but gets excited about the earlier evenings this time of year because you can put on your Old Navy Christmas pajamas at 4:00.
- Why I was convinced years ago that I absolutely had to have a complete set of matching cookware, when now I literally have one Dutch oven and a frying pan, and am perfectly fine and dandy.
- If anyone else likes peppermint and chocolate, but cannot stand Peppermint Mocha anything, and wishes there was a different flavor for all the holiday coffees.
- If someday, people will look back and think how very strange it was that regular people suddenly felt it necessary to use social media to film and share the personal aspects of their lives, like taking a pregnancy test, giving birth, making dinner, pushing a shopping cart through a store, and unloading groceries.
- If anyone else cherishes these upcoming months of hibernation and family time, by taking our cues from nature, and using winter as a time to rest.
That's all. Just wondering!

YES!! Especially the next few months of hibernation to reset. I wait all year for this.
ReplyDeleteI am not quite that early putting on the pjs, but I have found by 8 instead of putting on soft clothes (sweats and a tee) I am changing into pj bottoms and a tee shirt. I think I am getting old!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely. I put my pj's on as early as possible too and realize that there is no place quite like home. I would happily stay right here all day, every day. My Hubby can't understand that. He likes to go, go, go. So I send him on all of the errands that need done! It works.

I am enjoying the earlier darkness and the days that do not require so much of my time so that I can get into comfy jammies early.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree - when it's dark, out come the PJs - at least the bottoms! And I also agree with posting things on social media. I'd just been wondering this morning about a friend's post of her first great grandchild's ultrasound. Understand her excitement, but TMI for my taste!
ReplyDeleteI love pajama time! We have several different kinds of pans that work great for us. We still have some great wedding pots and pans which we use all the time. That's an interesting question about social media. I'm definitely preparing for Christmas but it seems like it sneaks up so quickly and I haven't had a good year of health. I pray I make it through and make my family happy.
ReplyDeleteSo I am an around-the-house-clothes/bye-bye clothes girl. You come in, and change into comfy sweatpants, when you leave, you put on something presentable, because if you don't, you'll end up in the hospital or getting pulled over, ha. I would never ever be leaving the house in sweatpants. These days, the only place I go is to physical therapy, and it seems so strange to leave the house in sweatpants! (I put nice clean ones on before I go, of course). The social media thing I don't really get, yet, I do blog about everything! This hibernation time, when it's dark by five in the afternoon, what a perfect time to stuck at home! We've decorated little by little, have lots of cozy twinkly lights out, and it's quite nice! Paul has been lighting candles every night too, can't beat that!
ReplyDeleteI love your new blog header, Billie Jo! I love the days when it gets dark earlier (well, unless I have to be out in it). I love to hunker down and be cozy. This is the season of resting and resetting.
ReplyDeleteI love your last cozy last picture! My thing would be the matching cookware!
