For Today

6/22/09

Outside my window…at home during breakfast - robins searching for worms. Here at work, no windows…so pictures of the Keys cover my walls.

I am thinking…about all the awesome creative stuff I find at Ali Edwards’ blog…where I found this ‘For Today’ prompt.

I am thankful for…an awesome weekend with Norm and both of our dads and family and friends. 

From the kitchen…looks like tacos tonight; Norm laid out ground beef before he left this morning.

I am wearing…black gaucho capris (a summer staple), black flats, and a yellow Aeropostale tee.

I am creating…blog posts. I can’t get enough lately.

I am going…to CVS after work today to finally pick up my free 8x10 print that I ordered two weeks ago.

I am reading…blogs, blogs, and more blogs. Plus countless books in progress at the same time.

I am hoping…that I can get my house cleaning done before I crash tonight.

I am hearing…the copier outside my office door.

Around the house…coupons to be clipped on the kitchen table, laundry to be put away by the closet, and wild Tiger Lily in a Ball jar by the sink.

One of my favorite things…sitting out in the yard after supper, reading as the sun goes down.

A few plans for the rest of the week…catch up on house work, search for wedding photo inspiration for this weekend’s wedding shoot with Cass.

A picture to share…a shot from Saturday's four-wheeler ride that Norm, Oscar, and I took to the buffer strips.

Post inspiration from The Simple Woman's Day Book found through Ali Edwards' blog.

Hello Monday.

Usually Monday mornings I wake up rested and rejuvenated from a weekend of sleeping in, getting things done around the house, and just trying to get a jump start on the week. However, this Monday I woke up exhausted (but happy). I am behind the eight ball already this week. I didn’t get my Sunday house cleaning done, there is still laundry in the basket where it was hurriedly pulled off the clothes line, there are dishes in the sink, and coupons to be clipped. But it’s because we had a weekend filled with fun with our dads, family, friends, and picture-taking. I stayed up too late last night editing and posting them here. Just like vacations, some weekends require the week to rest and recover from. And I’m thankful for those weekends too.
