We have had a wonderful, cozy at home, day with soft,gentle
rain falling steadily. It is the kind of weather that calls
for chili and a good movie. we have had both.

The rain gave me a reason to stay in and bake. I love
the fragrance of home made bread and something simmering
in the crock pot when the sky is dripping. We get so
little rain in Oklahoma that we cherish every drop.

I have a good book waiting for me. It is all about micro
decisions that are manageable and still lead to good habits.
Who would have thought I would still be reading self-help
books at eighty five! But then I should have mastered
having an uncluttered kitchen cabinet by now. The thought is
if you make a tiny change that isn't hard, then it leads to
bigger changes.

Sounds like a good book. We have slogans in the Fellowship that lead to that end.

When the guys came to install our new air conditioner, they had to work in and out of the garage. I pointed at it and said, "for your information, guys, NONE of this stuff is mine). Meanwhile, I do clean out drawers from time to time but never get to all of them and soon, even the ones I cleaned out, have reverted. Can't keep up.

Let's give ourselves applause for still trying. I must get the garage
cleaned out and I am thinking a garage sale is the only way as bad as I
hate to contemplate it!!

I have a bunch of milk to use up so am going to bake a lot of bread tomorrow to give away.

Rex is now addicted to home made bread. Half the fun is in smelling it.

Chili and a movie sounds great. I think we'll do that when we get home.

The movie was surprisingly good, all in all it was a great day.

What a wonderful day. I read about that micro-habits thing, just in an article, and was trying to think of things that help start off other habits. No wonder FlyLady.net pushes routines on people, so you do things automatically.

This book used the example of taking five minutes to make the bed. Then
after that little chore is routine, you can no longer stand to look at an
unmade bed. Love flyLady too. I offended my oldest grand daughter who is
the epitome of disorganization by suggesting she go to flyLady.

Oh that sounds like a perfect day!!!!!!!!
We watched some football at a friends house and then gt
Some pizza for dinner. Just putting Skylar to bed now, sadly
I'm not far behind...

It was the kind of day that puts you in a good mood. I am still trying to
get my kitchen counters cleared. How is the remodel coming along? You
have so much going with baby girl and baby boy percolating. No wonder you
are exhausted.
