Sunday Salon: Oct 7, 2012
I started my Christmas shopping this week! I went out and bought dh's gift and then did a bunch online. I'm going to try and do most of my Christmas shopping online this year, then I have a few special handmade gifts, and I VOW to have it all done by the end of Nov. I am NOT shopping in Dec. This year I plan to fully enjoy the season of Advent. It is my absolute favourite holiday of the year and last year I got a book that I plan to put into use to help us celebrate a fine Catholic Advent this year!
I didn't do much reading this week. Funny you'd think being home I'd have read more but I ended up doing more housework. Bleck! Tonight we plan on going out for our Thanksgiving dinner since I don't eat much and he is wants to relax for the few hours he's home before he's off to work again Mon. morning.
Now, here is what I read, blogged and watched this week. Plus what I plan on reading next week.
