So this month might not be very fun. It’s time to make some changes though. I need to eat healthier and my main area of weakness is sweets so I’m starting there. Until now I’ve been having multiple desserts a day. I want to cut back to two a week to try to get rid of the cravings. I also figure that if I get a good water bottle and have it always with me I’ll drink more, which I want to do anyway, and it will also help keep me from snacking. The exercise thing needs to happen but I’m not sure how. My ideas right now are to do yoga 2-3 times a week in the morning before…

Lay out quilt, then stack and label rows. Done! It was so much fun to see it laid out. And my sewing machine is working, so now comes the exciting part. Complete fifteen CEU’s. Easy. I tried the awesome website we have at work for free ones and I knocked them out in a day. Figure out Google Calendar. A long time ago I tried to start using Google Calendar but I did it in a really complicated way and it didn’t work for me. So I went back and wiped everything clean, then simplified. The thing I’m most excited about is I figured out how to sync it to iCal on my phone. Super useful. I also started using…

Anyone up for a virtual Bible study? I’d love to try one. My church isn’t currently running one and I’d love the accountability and discussion that comes with a small group that is reading and studying the same thing. I thought I would throw this idea out there to see if there is any interest. The study I’m proposing is Jen Hatmaker’s 7: An Experimental Mutiny Against Excess. I was browsing the bookstore and it called out to me; I thumbed through it and I felt a very strong pull to buy it, so I did. It is 8 weeks long, so I’m thinking that we’ll meet virtually using Google hangout each weekend to chat about the previous chapter. So,…

I am still so happy to be keeping up with this project. As I was taking these photos Meredith was looking through last year’s album. She came across a picture of herself wearing her favorite jacket and she pointed at it squealing, “my jacket!” (although it sounds more like “muh shackee!”). It was incredibly cute and made me so happy to be keeping these memories in a way that she can already appreciate. These weeks I had a lot of photos. They included my day in the life plus Mother’s Day, and apparently I was picture happy during that time as well. I had to seriously edit which ones I included because I wanted to leave space for journaling. I…
