Today I woke up determined to go to the temple to do baptisms. I left the house with the idea that hey, no one would be in town so I can get through within the hour! Little did I know that it would take me two (2) hours to finish up. It turns out that every LDS high schooler in the area had the same idea. But regardless, it was a lovely morning and it set the tone for the rest of the day.
Today the sky was overcast, which is by far my favorite weather. It was chilly, but not freezing. Everything was calm. There wasn’t even a breeze smacking my hair into my face! Half of the town was absent, too, which added to the stillness.
Today I spent too much money. I bought gifts, I bought baking supplies, I assembled, I wrote a birthday card, I made a batch of granola, I listened to Christmas music in the car, and tonight I bought a lovely modest Christmas tree for my living room!
Today I realized why I bake more than I ever have before: I watch less TV.
Today I let my mind wander to the future, to what I’ll be doing at this time next year…
Some days I’m such a girl.
