FOR TODAY (January 15, 2009)...

Outside My Window...It's sunny, but for Florida, it's cold!

I am thinking...about all the things I need to get done before the day is over.

I am thankful for...my warm, snug house.

From the kitchen...a Cuban dish called Picadillo. January is missions emphasis at church and tonight is the international dinner.

I am wearing...short sleeved t-shirt, sweat pants, warm socks.

I am creating... scrapbook pages. I say that almost every time, don't I?

I am going...to finish this and then get back to my "to do" list.

I am reading... Soul Survivor by Phil Yancey. WOW! Great book.

I am hoping... to get my closet cleaned this weekend. Too much stuff!

I am hearing... my washer and dryer, my snoring dog. How can he sleep all day, fall asleep beside me on the couch in the evening, then get into his bed and sleep all night?????

Around the house...it is quiet. I love quiet.

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week...Take supper tomorrow to some friends who have a major illness to deal with. Hmmmm. What to fix????

I'm so glad to be able to participate with the others in this Notebook entry. You can visit The Simple Woman's blog

Number One Resolution

According to Fox News, the number one New Year's Resolution for Americans, according to a poll, is not to lose weight or stop smoking. It is to get out of debt.
Our church is among many across the country that is offering a 13-week program to help families do just that, become debt free. It is called Financial Peace University and is designed and taught via DVD by Dave Ramsey. It gives participants the information and tools they need to get their finances under control. It is an awesome program, and I recommend it to everyone, even if you don't have a lot of debt.

There isn't enough space here to tell you all that is covered in the lessons. Go to daveramsey.com, enter your zip code, and find a class near you. Then sign up and go. You won't be sorry.
