From The Past: November 7, 2005

The weekend flies by so fast. Each Friday, I have great expectations for the weekend. Surely, THIS will be the weekend when the house is cleaned, when I make something new and delicious, when I spend time with Ashley reading through her Highlights Magazine, when I spend hours reading my own book, when Kevin and I watch a movie together, when we Christmas shop, when Andrew and I have a long conversation.

Umm, no this wasn’t that weekend. Actually, the only thing I really wanted to get accomplished was finding a new pair of tennis shoes for me and I couldn’t even do that. I tried on many pairs and looked in several stores, but none made the cut.

I did get to a book sale and an antique sale. I took many pictures, bought a tin of popcorn and our first carton of Egg Nog this year. I wrapped Christmas presents and even bought some stocking stuffers. I read through a week of newspapers and sorted through junk mail that had accumulated on the countertop.
