After work today I did a quick wardrobe emergency call. I wore this cardigan today to work and realized the reason why I do not wear it very often. This cardigan likes to gap between the buttons. So when I got home I carefully took off the buttons and sewed a straight stitch along the edge. After I sewed the cardigan closed I put the buttons back on. Now I can’t button and unbutton it and have to pull it on over my head… but no gaps! It is going back in my closet to be a regularly worn item.

One of my goals for 2009 was to read 52 books in 52 weeks. Here’s how I’ve done so far.

1. Priced to Move (Jan. 4-10)
2. Set Apart Femininity (Jan. 11-17)
3. Persuasion (Jan. 18-24)
4. Stepping Heavenward (Jan. 25-31)
5. Charade (Feb. 1-7)
6. Do Hard Things (Feb. 8-14)

I am about 4 weeks behind. Time to do some extra reading.

Chicken Spaghetti via The Pioneer Woman I’m going to buy a couple of ingredients and make this for my family this weekend. Yum.

I’m amazed at how much I get done when I get up at 6 am. That is one of the things I have been trying to be really consistent about… getting up at 6 am to do a quiet time with God. It sets me off right on workdays and on days when I’m home it really jump starts the day.
