A to Z this week.

A is for apron. The Hallmark Christmas ornament which I chose to represent my year (I work at a kitchen store)

B is for bargains. I am definitely a bargain shopper. I got some great ones this week.

C is for clearance rack...where I find a lot of my bargains. OR Coupon clipping, another way.

D is for driveway. Mine was blocked all week by our pear tree that toppled in the high winds. Merle is always gone when these things happen. He's home and it is chopped up now.

E is for Ephesians. Pastor read the book aloud for the sermon today & I kept falling asleep. Merle kept squeezing my hand.

F is for Ferrero Rocher. My secret candy stash. I eat one or two candies each week.

G is for glasses. Had my exam in Jan. & still haven't ordered glasses. Meant to do it this week.

H is for the haircut I got Fri. She REALLY thinned and texturized it. Not sure I like it.

I is for introverted; the mood I've been in lately and I'll be glad when it passes. Or indecisive, which I nearly always am.

J is for Justin. I still haven't sent his wedding gift from July. Shame on me. On my to-do list.

K is for kitchen. Mine is full of dirty dishes tonight, but I'll do them in the morning.

L is for leg of lamb. Karla (boss/friend) made it for dinner today and invited our family over.

M is for mother-in-law who visited last week and is having shoulder replacement on Tues.

N is for notes. I have to leave them everywhere to remind myself of things I need to do or buy.

O is for:What's round on both ends, & high in the middle? O hi O. Where Merle was this week.

P is for poppy seed muffins. Only 2 left. Did you know that Costco will repackage muffins into single flavor packs? Since I found that out, I only buy the poppy seed ones.

Q is for quiet. I love how quiet and peaceful my neighborhood is.

R is for repo. We think our neighbor's house got repo'ed. Horses gone. All 4 yard lights are out.

S is for stitches. I went with Merle to get his removed yesterday ( skin cancer surgery.)

T is for Terri, who called and talked for 2 hours tonight. They will be on staff at Grace and spend 6 months a year with the Chi Indians in Peru, and 6 in Denver.

U is for unlimited long distance. I am thankful I can call my mom daily and talk for a long time, even though I didn't today.

V is for video clips I've been trying to upload this week, but the bugs in videoegg.com have been driving me nuts!

W is for the wool socks I am wearing tonight instead of slippers. They keep my toe-sies toasty warm.

X is for exhausted. What I will be tomorrow if I don't go to bed NOW!

Y is for yellow. The trees dressed in yellow are beautiful in the morning sun and the tranquil scene with the white goats feeding beneath them beckons me to linger at the window.

Z is for Zach (age 8) who willingly hugged me today so he could zap me with his buzzer. I'm happy that he feels free to tease me.
