Days 15-16
Day 15 - Sunday - We went to church as usual and I did my volunteer duties at the computer and Christmas Adopt-a-family. All my wish list tags were taken the first day. Yea!! We gave our weekly tithe. My daughter and I went Christmas shopping and I bought an extra outfit for the two preteen girls from our adopt a family. They will already get one outfiit but these were cute and on sale and I couldn't resist. And what teenager wouldn't want more clothes!
Day 16 - Monday back at work. Today didn't go as planned and I didn't take the time to find a good giving opportunity. No one to blame but me. I did work out after work and when I left there was someone's empty water bottle rolling around in the parking lot. I made a decision, picked it up, walked back in and deposited it in the garbage.
I thought that may have to be it for today, but my husband asked me to finish getting the new computer set up so he could print out an invoice he needed. Sounded simple enough - but 3 hours later I'm still working at it. We have Windows 7 and an old version of Quick Books Pro. After much searching I found a couple fixes and got it installed. Then I went to install our Dell printer and it's not compatible either! It's only 3-4 years old. So back to google to see what I can find.

What a lucky friend you have! I'm sure she knows it, too.
Maybe you are expecting too much too soon? I know that giving without any expectations of something in return isn't easy, but I'll bet if you try to just give (and even small gives are good ones, y'know) without expecting anything in return, you'll…
It's cold today, so I gave my daughters a Duraflame log for the fireplace.
This evening we went to see a Louisiana band here in Taos, NM. You'd probably be surprised at all the Louisiana bands that come here, but Taos is a major ski area, so it's also a tourist town.....and we have a LOT more live band entertainment than m…

My 29 gifts book came in the mail today. How great is that? I read it all today (but of course that means I can now reread it and that's even more fun.) I also now see what the pattern of the ritual is about and that's quite helpful. I even got to s…
