Thursday morning check-in

Good Morning Everyone!

Thought I would attempt what I hope will be a daily check-in and rambling thread.  Just to keep in touch and let each other know what is happening in our day.

Today is a scheduled water aerobics day and I have also arranged to take a 1/2 vacation day from work so I can be home for the exterminator's annual termite check and heating/air maintenance man.  Thought I would do some holiday baking while I am waiting and freeze so I will not feel so rushed later this month.  The holidays will be a little leaner this year for us, so I have decided to bake some goods as gifts for those I want to give a little holiday cheer.  I will actually make some "full leaded" treats and some "sugar-free/fat-free" for my figure friendly friends.

Hope you will be having a stress-free day today.....................Carrie

Hi Carrie, 

It seems like today was the perfect day to do some baking. What a lovely idea. I wish I'd seen your post earlier. I just might have done some myself. Like you we are having a very lean holiday this year, most of our gifts will truly be gifts from our hearts and hands, so I've been a busy little bee and will continue to do so for the next couple of weeks. I need to get some things done and in the mail so that they can take the slow truck to the west coast ;-)

I hope you had a lovely day taking care of you through exercise and a little baking therapy. 

Warmly,

Well I am finally back up and ready to relax for the rest of the evening.  I talked myself in and out of going to the water aerobics several times before I finally braved the rain and went.  I am exhusted from baking, cleaning and exercise.  I was non-stop from 1 PM until 8 PM.

I really need to get control of that "stinking thinking" I do with myself.

Hope you had a nice cozy day on this rainy cool day.
