Happy first Friday of December! It was nice to have a buffer week between Thanksgiving and the first of December. Though life is always busy, December is especially so. It's even more important to schedule pauses for remembering what's important and counting our blessings. Susanne at Living to Tell the Story hosts an opportunity to do that with Friday's Fave Five.
Here are a few of mine:
1. Decorating for Christmas with the family. I thought about waiting til next week, just from tiredness. But I am glad we went ahead. I am so thankful that the family helps with this, even though Jason and Mittu have their own house to decorate. Not only do many hands make light work, but it's fun to reminisce as we do. Mittu made a great lunch. for us all.
2. Lunch with Melanie. We try to get together once a month or so, but it had been a long while. We had gift cards to Red Lobster and enjoyed catching up. By the way, she had a birthday this week! Some of you know her through FFF or other blogging means---feel free to pop over and wish her a belated happy birthday.
3. A good eye exam with no new issues or problems.
4. Hot oil hair treatment. I have very dry skin and have to put lotion all over year-round. But cold, dry weather really does a number on me. I couldn't put lotion on my scalp, however. Then I remembered I used to use VO5 hot oil treatment---a little tube you put in a cup of hot water and then massage its contents into your scalp before shampooing. I even had some in the bathroom cabinet. It felt so good.
5. Online shopping. We got a good chunk of our Christmas shopping done this week, and now enjoy receiving the deliveries!
That's our week. How was yours?
