I never get tired of reading about the things other people are currently loving, so I decided to start my own! // Timex Weekender watch – a gift from my brother and sister-in-law that’s perfect for work // lots of new craft papers from Archiver’s, like this Amy Tangerine paper pad // while our microwave was broken I ate McDonald’s fruit & maple oatmeal for breakfast almost every day // one of my favorite singers has collaborated to make a kids’ folk gospel album, and now that I’ve heard it I’m pretty much ruined on all other kids’ music // maxi skirts and white t-shirts are pretty much my favorite summer outfit // have you seen the trailer for the new Les Miserables movie? It looks so good…

As you can see, I got way behind again. Oops. But now I am caught up! So it’s all good. Week 14: Super simple week. I got some new washi tape so I played with it on the date card. Also got a scalloped circle punch that I used for some journaling. The little cartoon nurse is from a card a coworker made me. The bottom right picture shows the nursery after Meredith finishes playing in it, which is something we do a lot. The pictures here are mostly from a weekend. Visiting a book store, going running, Meredith being fascinated by the toilet, the book I finished, completed cross stitch project, the May photo a day list (that I…

Time // 8:44 p.m. Place // propped up in my bed. Eating // nothing at the moment, but stuffed full of barbecue and ice cream. Drinking // ice water. Watching // Meredith sleep next to me. Reading // Nicholas and Alexandra by Robert K. Massie. Wanting // a new microwave. Thinking // about finally canceling our cable – we’ve been talking seriously about it for months but just haven’t pulled the trigger yet. Creating // Project Life – I’m all caught up again, hooray! Hoping // to take more pictures this week. Needing // to start exercising again now that I’m not sick anymore. Anticipating // a busy day at work tomorrow. *** This long weekend was just what we needed. My house is clean and organized, I read a hundred pages in my book, caught…

What, you don’t write your lists on hospital order sheets? Since last weekend we were all deathly ill (we were not actually near death; I am exaggerating in order to obtain your pity) a lot of things have gone undone and untended to around the house. This long holiday weekend comes at a perfect time for some catching up. For example, I would like to be able to walk through the house without wading through dog hair, have actual food in the kitchen other than crackers and applesauce, and a microwave to reheat it in. Having to use the oven and stove when you’re not even really cooking is the worst. Catching up on crafts would be fantastic. We haven’t…
