Week in the Life - Wednesday


A few pics and stories for Wednesday:



Fuzzy first pic of the day




Doorhandles




Surprise thank-you flowers on my
desk this morning!




Leaving work. I pass through
this garage to get to the next garage
where I park. I walk this way any time
it's raining.





Evidence of the primo parking spot

I managed to secure today.



Crystal put together and used the new vacuum.




Tonight's snack.




Awake way too late,  I've been taking these screen captures
from the nightstand app on my ipad at different times
each day. I like it because it gives me the weather along
with the date and time.



Week in the Life - Tuesday

And here are some highlights for Tuesday:

I often stop at McDs to get a $1 large unsweetened iced tea.
I know Susie Ormon would suggest that
those $5/week (and usually more like $2-3/week) could be saved
instead and turned into $1 million by the time I retire. 
I say phooey. It makes me happy.

I had a conference to attend all day. I had a few minutes to kill,
so my tea and I hung out in the car and listened to
Sirius Channel 28 (The Spectrum) until I had to move inside.

After my conference I again had some free time before I had to
pick up Crystal, so I ran some errands.
This sign at Target caught my eye.

My dinner: Salad and hummus.
I made this big bowl of salad yesterday,
so I had it for the week.

Ding dong....UPS delivered our new vacuum.
Crystal was very excited. And I am going
to be in trouble when she sees this picture!

Junior's first night at his new rally class.  We like
our new trainer. But it's a long night - Crystal goes to tai chi class,
back home to pick us up, half hour drive to dog class until 9pm....
we have no choice but to stop
at Dairy Queen on the way home after such a long night!

I have lots more pictures on my iPad that can fill-in the holes of Monday and Tuesday. And I tried to take some pictures of the pretty moon last night; Not sure if I can edit that picture into something useable or not, but I'll try.

Week in the Life - Monday

I'm actually kind of keeping up with the Week in the Life project!

This post includes my Monday highlights. I only took a handful of pictures (remembering to take pictures is a constant issue for me, not just this project). But it's also the most boring day of the week, so I'll just consider it my warm up day.

Leaving the house, running late.

I had to run some work errands this morning, and just happened
to find myself next door to a Cord Camera. So I stopped in to see
about getting some special prints made.

After dinner and dog walking, I snapped some photos of layouts.
Crystal was extremely happy to help
(can't you tell by the look on her face???)

Junior's hiding place. He has recently developed
some sort of anxiety problem and this spot
 seems to be his new retreat in the evenings.

How I spent my evening:
strawberries and cream and reading The Blogess's new book on my iPad.

I have good notes of the day, too, so between the notes and the pics, I think I'm off to a good start.

Counterfeit Kit Challenge 2

Just a quick post with my small picture challenge page.

I had an odd sized piece of memorabilia and needed a page that size for the back of the protector. So these small photo booth prints were a good choice to fit on the small, narrow page.

We were trying to spell O-H I-O with our arms, and you can see how that turned out.

Thanks for looking!

April Counterfeit Kit LO#1

A couple of weeks ago, while looking through older scrapbooks, Crystal made a comment about how I never finish what I start.  I have a few pages throughout the books where I've dropped a stack of photos in the protector expecting to finish later or where I saved a page for something but don't have pictures yet. But I never go back snd complete the pages.

After that last comment I developed a "well I'll show you" attitude and decided to finish all those missing pages.  I made a good dent in that project last weekend, including these pages that use my April kit. I was so jazzed about all those bright colors, and then I went and used the neutral B sides on this one. It just seemed better for the pictures.



It has been so long, I don't even remember which trip to The Wilds produced these pictures, so I journaled a little bit about all the times we visited the park.  My goal is to get done, so they're not all pretty, but - well, they're done!
