In a Nutshell

On-track for running this race in 3 months.

Our tomato plants met an untimely demise.

Eric graduated--I refuse to call him Dr. Vawdrey.

My mom is the best. . . . REALLY, the best.

I don't want to go to work today. This is not normal.

Goal for the week is to eat more leafy greens.

Welcome to my Monday.

Monday

LOVE THIS! Happy Monday. . .back to the grind & fine with it.

Happy Monday

Rainy Days & Mondays Always Get Me A New Umbrella

I woke up this morning ready to face another Monday with all of the zeal and ambition of a WWF Wrestler on opening night. Had a pleasant (and somewhat painful) run, followed a lovely morning routine with time to spare and set my sights on a perfect day. I was so optimistic that I parked The Passat in the furthest parking spot in the lot so I might enjoy some fresh air, sunshine, and get some extra steps in my day (because I'm all about slimming down). Brilliant, huh? Not so brilliant when the torrents of rain were falling just as I prepared to leave my place of business. Granted, it was a super-chic ponytail day, but even I couldn't fact the wet weather unprotected. How would one such as I handle this difficult situation? Yep--I purchased yet another umbrella. Isn't it cute?

Monday Morning Musings

I can feel it. I can feel a beautiful week coming on. A week full of accomplishment, fun and excitement. Yippee, it's Monday!

I have a short term goal this week to send a thank you card everyday. Sounds pretty simple, doesn't it? It's my attempt to be more grateful and to show it. Who knows, there might be a little card waiting in your mailbox this week.

I'm also going to let the DVR do the work while I attend a full FHE tonight. Miracles can happen, can happen to you! Kimmy is giving the lesson. Susie loves her.

There is So Much More by Brett Dennen. . .my favorite song of the day.

Please note that I have fallen to 3rd place in our Tournament Challenge. Though, if I'm going to be trailing two people--they might as well be Dean and Ryan.

When I grow up, I want to be a shoe model.

I think blue tape suits my bedroom decor. Maybe I'll leave it up for good.

Nothing Really

I bought some new Photoshop actions off the internet. They're pretty spiffy and quite wonderful. So I've been testing them out on some of my photos. . . I can't belive it's Monday again. Where does the time go? The good news is that I'm looking forward to a week of creative inspiration and productive focus. Lots of projects to finish and even a few new ones to start. Sound realistic, right?

Have I mentioned that birthday 2007 brought a wireless keyboard and mouse into my life? Holy CoW AMAZING. It's like this newfound technological freedom. Besides, my keyboard has all these great shortcut keys--making time for more of life's simple pleasures. . .

Another solid run this morning. . .a little quicker and feeling a little better everyday. It's a good thing I have my morning running partners. Otherwise, I might still be lounging in my jammies.

Happy day to all!
