Another Week, 6 More Seconds

I only have 6 more seconds recorded...because I left a day out this week. Hopefully I can stay on track this coming week.

December 5th: Homemade- I decided to make a crustless sausage quiche for dinner. I loved how it turned and I ended up eating on it all week. It is rare that I don't get tired of a food when I eat it leftover all week, but I didn't get tired of eating it leftover. I guess you can't go wrong with eggs, cheese, sausage, peppers, onion, and spices.

December 6th: To-do List- This time last week I had a looming to-do list. Being the last week of class I had several assignments due soon and a final coming up (it was actually today). I also had Friends- Christmas things to get ready/ presents to gather. So..I made a school to-do and a Christmas to-do. I can happily say since my final was today I am done with school work FOR THE YEAR! I do have more Christmas stuff to prepare but that's way more fun than school work!!

December 7th: Best part of the day- This was a difficult one for me. I enjoy mornings because they are calm. I am just waking up, usually drinking some coffee and enjoying breakfast. I can visit with Miss Cleo and then get ready for my day. I also enjoy evenings, when after a long day of classes, homework and work, I get to sit down and relax. Sometimes I still have more homework to do, but at least I get to take it easy for the rest of the night.

December 8th: Best part of winter- I love snow and that is probably my favorite part of winter. But since it didn't snow on the 8th, I recorded myself wearing warm clothes. I really enjoy wearing sweaters, scarves, headbands and cuddling up with warm blankets. This is one of my favorite parts of winter.

December 9th: Snack- I missed my snack...I didn't really like the prompt anyway...

December 10th: Home- I made a fresh cup of pour-over coffee on Saturday morning and I had it sitting on my sink, the steam was rising off of it. I wasn't even sure of the prompt for the day, but I decided to take a clip of my hot coffee, with the morning light coming in through the window behind the cup. I think this turned out to be an appropriate video for this prompt...I drink alot of coffee in my home and I have a coffee themed kitchen...so it worked out. As I mentioned to Granny Eyre when we celebrated our Christmas party on Saturday, home is also where your friends are. When I am around friends and family I am home.

December 11th: Breakfast- My breakfast on Saturday was leftover hash-brown casserole from the Christmas brunch on Saturday (made by Martha S.) and of course...coffee. Over breakfast I was also finishing up a large semester-long case report that was due today.

I hope you enjoyed my last 7 days! 

See you next week....13 days 'til Christmas!!

Another random update...

So I don't feel like I have a whole lot to write about right now, but I always enjoy reading the other TwentySomething's updates even when they don't have a specific event or topic they are writing about...so I hope you enjoy reading mine too.

First of all, I've started two new books. I bought The Happiness Project (by Gretchen Rubin) and Hearing From God Each Morning (by Joyce Meyer) last week at a thrift shop.

I wasn't exactly looking for these books in particular but I stumbled across them and decided to buy them because I've been wanting to get in the swing of reading something again because I've been missing it. I hope to keep you all posted on how I like these books. I have been trying to read the devotional every morning before I get out of bed which is a way to make sure I remember to read it and it seems like a good time to think about what I've read: when the day is new and untouched. It is still difficult though because I have to really focus on what I'm reading when I wake up early (on substitute teaching days). I really like how Meyer's formats each day's reading and gives you something to think about throughout the day at the end of the daily devotional.
I haven't read much of The Happiness Project yet, but I've really enjoyed what I read so far. It's written in a way that is easy to read and applicable to one's own life.

I'm not sure how well you'll be able to read the page with writing on it, but I hope you can. I really enjoyed this page. It was a list of her "Secrets of Adulthood". A few on the list of things she has learned as an adult are, "'Do good, feel good', 'Bring a sweater', 'You don't have to be good at everything', and 'By doing a little each day, you can get a lot accomplished', among others. I like how I can relate to the author and practical she seems to be. I hope it continues to be as good as the first 20 pages have been. 

On another note, as Miss Ellaneous mentioned in the previous post, it was so much fun to visit and catch up with our fellow TwentySomethings last weekend. I have a few photos from Friday and Saturday that you all may enjoy seeing. I really hope we can all get together again soon!! Granny Eyre was a fun hostess and her Unbirthday Party was very cute.

It feels sorta short to sign off already, but that's all I can think of to share with you. Hopefully something exciting will happen soon and I can write about it!
