i'm melting

i tried to spend some time outside this morning, but it was like breathing in cotton candy out there. so i stayed in an did some cleaning, i know fun stuff, right? i also finally watched avatar. good movie. 


to do today:

• um...laundry. for real. there is still more. - check (well..i'm prematurely checking, i've still got one load in the washer.)
• bag up debris in the yard -fail. (waaaay too hot out there)
• dishes - check (wow. i don't know if i can handle all this excitement.)
• give up on chores & watch a movie - check
• don't forget to pick hannah up -
• go to class - (this one could be painful, considering i still have a wicked sunburn.)

the lameness of this blog amazes even me, my friends. :)

oh well..we can't all be dickens. 

this is what makes me smile:

remembering winter.

can't think of a title

it's nice to be able to sleep in on a monday. and by sleep in i mean get up at around 8:15. in the a.m.   


what i did today:

• hugged my kid.
• laundry. 
• yard work.
• more laundry.
• outdoor fun with hanner.
• yep...more laundry.

i wish i had some deep reflections or something about the meaning of memorial day.. i don't. it mostly depresses me. don't get me wrong, i'm very thankful for all those gentlemen and ladies who have laid down their lives for my puny little one. i have quite a few grandfathers and uncles and cousins on that list of brave individuals. it just makes me sad..that there is war. and then i feel cheesy. 

this is what makes me smile:

backyard battling with $10 water cannons.

treading blindly

yeah, so i'm kinda having a hard time catching up to all the new stuff blogger has added in the last 2 years. hahah..so if i've added your blog to my list & you don't want it there, just let me know. i have attempted to "officially" follow all the blogs i read regularly (or have in the past) but i don't see a couple of them on the list and i'm not really sure why. oh well. i guess i'll get it figured out eventually.


today was pretty boring. which was incredibly awesome. sometimes it's just good to do a whole lot of nothing. my fascinating to do list follows:

• hug hannah - check (yeah, totally going to be on the list every day.)
• get lost in a book - check (this is how i managed to check off the next item on the list.)
• get a ridiculous obligatory memorial day weekend sunburn - check (yay for multitasking!)
• go to pharmacy to get some more coco butter - (works better than aloe)
• take a wondrous sunday afternoon nap - i failed on this one..
• blog - check!

the traffic around here was awful today..tons of people flocking to the lake for the weekend...i think i  must have passed 3 cars on my way to town! 

i really have nothing else to say. i mainly just wanted to prove to myself that i could do this thing 2 days in a row. I AM SUCCESSFUL! heheh

this is what makes me smile:

freshly seeded fields.

also:

almost ripe mulberries.

 

well then

sooo...it has literally been years since i updated this blog. i have found, by experimentation, that i tend to fail miserably at long term projects. i am also, apparently, a repeat offender. i like to try again. and again. and again.

i don't know what this will become on this go-round, if anything at all, but here i go again.

to do today:

• go to the library to pay my fines and renew my card - check (actually didn't have any fines..the miraculous does still happen.)
• get the ingredients needed to make a pineapple upside down cake for my dad's birfday-check (gross.)
• random yard work items
• wash my jeep-check (i am actually cheating on this one, mother nature helped me out in a major way by providing a free car wash.)
• dinner with mom, dad, and han for dad's birfday
• clean the bathroom
• update blog-in progress
• hug hannah-check (i just put this on here so i'd be sure to have something checked off & would be able to feel at least semi accomplished.)
• take a walk

i really like the photo & noting of something that makes me smile/happy (though i might expand to include other facial expressions/emotions) so i am going to continue on with those.

this is what makes me smile:

playgrounds & kids
