weather report...

really now, am i the ONLY person that LOVES, and i mean CAPITAL LOVES, this weather!!??? let's list the pros.....

1*candles are burning.
2*i can turn on the furnace with NO Guilt from my husband.
3*you can't tell that my windows are DISGUSTINGLY dirty.
4*Frank Sinatra sounds extra good (Siriusly Sinatra.SIRIUS satellite tv...channel #6075..all the great oldies...ALL DAY).
5*cleaning the house actually sounds like something i would like to do.
6*fireplace ON!!
7*i have actually given some thought to dinner BEFORE i hear Ryan's truck hit the Visser road. (ok, i'm lying, i haven't given ANY thought to that YET but i will,soon.)
8*my boys are out playing in the mud. i know that sounds like a weird thing to like but being the mother of all boys, there is something intoxicating about the smell of dirt.
9*i'm warming water for those glasses of hot cider that they are inevitably going to be asking for in a matter of mins.
10*this weather makes me realize that the holidays are just around the corner.
11*Halloween is over. hallelujah.
12*i'm extremely thankful for a semi-clean garage. without that, i'd be parking in the driveway, instead i can walk out the door, into my warm car. to some that may not be a big deal but i went 37 years of my life, never experiencing that luxury.
13*i'm feeling ZERO need to go out and weed my flower beds.
14*i'm digging the fact that it's 4:45 and already it's starting to get dark. it makes for long evenings.i love that.
15*the sound of whipping wind thru the windows and doors of my house made me realize that my home may be a bit drafty, a tad uninsulated, however, it's home. i'm thankful beyond words to be able to have a place to call my own. i know that SO many do not have that privilege. i am blessed. on this cool, dreary day, i KNOW i am covered by God's goodness.

there's my list, go make yourself one. i bet you too can come up with 15 things!
