Challenge: Day 22

Today I did something nice for myself.  Car repairs (a dead battery plus two crappy tires) made me cranky this weekend, so I went to Barnes and Noble, and browsed around the bargain tables and found a book that I've been wanting to read.  It's called Peace and Plenty by Sara Ban Breathnach (sp?).  I also got myself a bottle of wine, which I NEVER do, and I'm having a glass right now.  When I finish this post, I will go take a nice hot bath, have another glass of wine--that's about my limit--I'm a cheap date-- and go to bed and read my book.  It's by the same woman who wrote Simple Abundance, which is one of my all-time favorite books.  I wonder if I had that on my list of faves.... hmmm.   I think a pedicure will just round this weekend out nicely. 

My school also had a field trip today to Green Meadows Farm.  It was fun, and the animals were adorable.  I also shared brownies with all the people at my table, so that's another nice thing I did.  I'm not really known for sharing chocolate.  I have pictures, but I finally figured out that my camera issue isn't the camera at all, it's the SD card thingy in my computer.  So that's why I can't upload pictures--I think I have plan B all ready to go though.   I'll check back in tomorrow and see if I have that worked out.  Update.... I have it worked out....

I've been thinking about Christmas already--I want to get some stuff started so I don't feel so overwhelmed this year with making presents.  I've been doing some looking around online for nice things to make.  Last year I knitted market bags, sewed some bags, several Christmas tree skirts, and some potholders out of antique quilt blocks that I had.  I also knitted a bunch of stockings, which I think I will do again this year too.  I'm looking around.  Any ideas are welcome....
