I am a bit late this morning...actually, it's already after the noon hour here!  Just got a late start on everything.  But so far I have gotten in my exercises, keyboard practice.  

Oh, that's right...I forget to tell you that I decided to get back to playing.  Unfortunately my keyboard is not in great shape.  After about 20 minutes it stops...and sometimes I can change the tones and other times I can't.  But I can still play a few minutes each day to get back in shape.

Yesterday was extremely windy here.  I had to pick up the recycling bin and it's contents.   At least it only went into the yard.  I did run most of my errands but the most important one - my truck inspection - was not available so I will try again next week.

While out, though, I stumbled onto two sales.  Fat quarters were half priced so I got an assortment...

There weren't many left so I picked up the ones I wanted.  I also was lucky to find a yarn sale.  Very few skeins were left but I managed to get a few...

I don't really have any plans for either the fat quarters or the yarn, but as I lost all of mine in the fire, I pick up sale items for future use.

I posted not only today's 'Month of Getting It Together' prompt but also the ones for the weekend.  As I am also posting all the published prompts under pages GETTING IT TOGETHER you can go at your own speed.  Maybe instead of one a day, one every other day or longer.  Go at your own speed and be sure to change those that don't work for you.

I finished posting the resolutions or goals that I am going to keep, or at least try to!  How about you, have you made any for yourself?  I know I want to keep these in mind but haven't decided how yet.  I was thinking of a vision board but quite frankly, I do not have the space for one. So I am thinking of something a little less involved.

Another thing that I normally do is choose a word for the year.  I haven't done that yet, but I plan on spending some time this weekend thinking about a word that will express what I want.  Do you choose a word for the year, or month, etc. to focus on?  It's not something that I think about all the time.  For me, when I see the word, I want it to evoke some type of positive feeling.  Well, as I said I will be working on it this weekend.

My weekend plans are to enjoy the season's decorations and what's left of the special cookies and cupcakes.  By the way, I have kept the cupcakes wonderfully moist by placing a piece of bread in the container.  When the bread is dry, I put it out for the birds and add another fresh slice.  It's worked extremely well for me.

Next week I plan on beginning to take down the Christmas decorations as well as going through several boxes from the storage trailer.  We are getting down to a precious few which is nice.  Still a lot of other stuff, though.

Have a great weekend.  Don't forget the NFL football playoffs, that is if you like football.

Talk with you on Monday...
