For Today: June 14, 2010

I love this simple documentation idea from The Simple Woman's Daybook via Ali Edwards' blog:

FOR TODAY
June 14, 2010

Outside my workshop window...the sun is shining, a slight breeze is blowing, and I can hear a few birds singing.

I am thinking...about all the possibilities this week holds. Summer vacation rocks!

I am thankful for...all of the blessings in my life.

I am wearing...a gray cotton dress from Nordstrom Rack (thanks to a shopping trip last week!) and black flip flops.

I am creating...photo polaroids to hang on my workshop wall, a few scrapbook layouts, and my Week in the Life scrapbook.

We are going...to Costco, Staples, and WinCo later today to do some shopping.

I am reading...Twilight. I'm curious to see if it lives up to all the hype. I'm only 25 pages into it, so the jury is still out. But it's fun to be reading it at the same time as my mom. And once we finish it, we're going to watch the movie together.

I am hoping...to have loads of fun this coming weekend. Between having my family up on Saturday afternoon, dining and seeing a show in Nevada City that night, and hanging out with the dads in Brian's family on Sunday, it should be a really great birthday + Father's Day weekend.

I am hearing...Brian talking on the phone. He just told one of his best friends, "You're dead to me," and then laughed. Gotta love it!

Around the house...it's quiet. Just the way I like it.

One of my favorite things...to do right now is cook. (I'm sure you are already aware of that fact if you've been reading my blog as of late.) But my favorite time to bake is about 9:00 p.m. when it is pitch black outside. I'm a night owl (and I don't have to get up early right now), so baking muffins or making cookies in the evenings is such a treat!

A few plans for the rest of the week...Tomorrow, we're heading down the hill to see our Godson swim and have dinner with his family. Should be fun!

A few pictures to share...

My cluttered desk covered with my Week in the Life pictures and journaling cards. The red album (8.5 x 11), which will house these layouts just arrived today, so I'm eager to finish them.
I'll post pictures here on the blog-o when it is officially completed.
