Monday Musings

Had a wonderful weekend. The boys left on Friday to spend the first week of summer with their dad, so Saturday was just a veg, lay-around while it rained day. Sunday was Father's Day and Sarah and I cooked crab, scallops and shrimp for dinner. Then had a triple-chocolate ice cream cake for dessert with eclairs. Randy and Sarah spent the day hanging out, snuggling, napping, playing PSP against each other.

I found this link on Ali Edwards site, which is a documentation from The Simple Woman's Daybook.
FOR TODAY

June 22st, 2009

Outside my window...my yard still needs to be finished being weeded.

I am thinking...that tomorrow will start my plan to clean and organize my scraproom while the kids are away.

I am thankful for...finding love again!

From the kitchen...Left over crab and scallops from the weekend.

I am wearing...white cords and black shirt.

I am creating...a (mu)'shroom layout with plans for many more!

I am going...to have tea before bedtime.

I am reading...The Immortal Prince by Jennifer Fallon

I am hoping...that I will be disciplined enough to get my scraproom done by Friday.

I am hearing...the TV with Jon and Kate Plus 8 hour special abount the 'announcement'.

Around the house...the rugs need to be vacuumed and laundry put away

One of my favorite things...is getting pampered before bedtime with my tea.

A few plans for the rest of the week...workout every day, clean scrap room, head down to unemployment for training paperwork if my new SS card comes in the mail.

Friday Fill-In!

School ended yesterday! HOORAY! well, kinda.... lol Matt looks like he 'passed' his junior year, but won't be official till I get his report card. And Justin's report card was what I expected. It's time to work more on writing this summer.

So, just to keep the momentum going of using this blog, here is the Friday Fill-ins!


1. Lassie go home.

2. My favorite thing for dinner lately has been crab.

3. Ruff! bark! bark! bark!

4. A nice long walk on the beach at sunset.

5. I need some good news.

6. When all is said and done, cozy up with the one you love.


7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to snuggling before bedtime, tomorrow my plans include shopping at Old Navy and Sunday, I want to wish my Dad a happy Fathers Day!

One day down...

Well, today didn't go as planned, but that is ok. I didn't sleep well and was up to 2:30, so slept in longer then I wanted. I did check the TV and found that there are exercise programs on demand! How cool is that? So now I can work out whenever I want if I find a program that I like, and they supposedly change them every month so you don't get bored. I didn't get back out to the lawn and pull some more weeds. I didn't go through a portion of my scrapbook room. I did however get a call about a job and needed to finish up a questionnaire and email it off by 3pm; also needed to take the S and J over to the book store for some mandatory reading for the summer.
Otherwise, just another ordinary day!

I have really meant to get back here... really I have. I just seem to be slacking but time to get my butt in gear and really start on working what I need too. So, first thing tomorrow (as I am typing in bed right now) will start the new day. I have plans that I want to do, and need to start each one a little bit each day so I don't get overwhelmed and say screw it.

1. Need to do some exercising... walking, riding, something!
2. Make a plan for the yard - lawn, fence, birdhouses, dog run, etc.
3. Clean out lil sections of my scraproom - organize it, trash it, donate it.
4. Blog a lil = at least 3x a week!

K... I have it written, so it must be done... right?
