Staying Warm

It is still Cold in Dallas, Texas -- 22 degrees tonight. It has been a little hard to eat raw because it is so cold outside. I have been making some warm green soup the past couple of days to help warm my bones. I don't know when I became such a wimp about the cold, but I definitely am wimpy! I write this sitting in my deluxe Snuggie. I love my Snuggie!

Tomorrow I get my new dishwasher! I am very excited! 20 years ago I never thought I would say that I was excited to get a dishwasher, but I am going to be one happy woman tomorrow! I may even hug the delivery guy's neck!

Today I got so busy with home schooling I neglected to make my pizza crusts. I just ran out of time. Somedays I do not know where the time goes. We get caught up in learning about Vikings or verbs and before I know it the day is over. I guess part of it was because we spent most of the morning at the dentist. No one had any cavities -- YEAH! I have to go back in January to have some old silver fillings replaced, which scares me to death, but I have some time to psyche myself up for my date with the dentist.

Seeking Suggestions for Thanksgiving

Shopping for a new dishwasher is not fun at all! I am stressed and tired. I have been racing back and forth from Sears to Home Depot, to Lowes, and Best Buy. Of course, no one has the dishwasher I like in stock and it will take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks depending on where we decide to buy it (The stores with the cheapest prices are, no doubt, the ones where it will take weeks to get it). What is a few weeks anyway?

I also looked at some new flooring for our kitchen today as well. That is also stressful, but a little more fun. We have been wanting to refinish the floors in our house since we moved in two years ago. Now we have an excuse to actually do it. I just hope that the quotes don't totally blow my mind. Let's just say, I know what I am getting for Christmas this year.

Thank Goodness Tomorrow is Friday! I am looking forward to a relaxing weekend. We may break out the Christmas decorations. Phillip is really into decorating this year. He is ready to celebrate. Speaking of celebrating, I am beginning my raw food research on Thanksgiving meals. If you have any suggestions, please email me!
