Crabtree Not For Me

Summer — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 03:57:10 +0000

There was a huge sale! I just spent two hours picking out items from Crabtree & Evelyn and then I go and talk myself out of buying them. I always do this. I can never just buy myself something because I want to. I always end up analyzing everything too much and I feel bad for even wanting anything in the first place. ): I’m not a good shopper.

Coffee Love One

Summer — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 12:25:33 +0000

This morning I woke up and there was coffee waiting for me in the kitchen! I love it when Howard makes me coffee in the morning. In a way it makes me feel like my day will be super awesome and I’m going to kick bitty at work.

Literally.

Road Block On Work-At-Home

Summer — Sun, 08 Jan 2012 17:06:23 +0000

Marla is in my lap right now as we try to figure out why I cannot work from home on this project. I brought some work home and it turns out I cannot connect to the server and keep getting tons of error messages because of it. This kind of puts a damper on things at work but if I can enjoy more time with my family I’m all for it! Actually, my co-worker just called and said she was trying to get a hold of as many people she can to get this fixed. UM…OK. :p Don’t-care-bear right here!

This weekend has been pretty sweet. I actually made a video! Howard is supposed to edit it because he’s good at that kind of stuff and then I will be posting it later. The 365 project is harder than I thought but I’m getting through it. I did not give up! I have the pictures here as I type but I need to edit them before I can post.

The other thing I need start working on is a watermark for OurLifeInText. I cannot keep putting my SJP watermark on everything I take a picture of because it’s giving people the wrong impression of my photographic genre.

In conclusion, I will post again to day! Hahah!

In The Upcoming Year…

Summer — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 12:54:06 +0000

As 2011 faded away it made me think of how I can better myself and our family in the new year. This year our family goal is to spend more time with each other and enjoy life a little more. I know you’re thinking, “These two spend every waking moment together!” which is true, but lately my job has been keeping me away from Howard. I want 2012 to be a whole new experience for us. We plan on going out and getting involved in more local events and charities to help others around us. And, of course, we will be doing more blogging/vlogging for you guys and gals.

Now as for my personal goals this year, I will be starting not one…but TWO 365 photos projects. One will be a regular photo of the day and the other will be a 365 portrait of the day. This is an extremely hard project for me because of my schedule and I really do not like to commit to things like these because I get bored easily. I promise I will not do that! At least I will try my hardest not to drop these projects.

The other resolution on my list is to finish all my books I started and put down. Again, with my schedule it is difficult to commit to little things such as finishing a book. I will finish every book I started AND read every book I bought. I mean, I bought these books for a reason and I believe I should at least give them a fighting chance because someone spent time writing them. I know if I wrote a book I would at least want someone to give it a read just for kicks.

There’s one more thing. I may have a chance to go back to school! I’m pretty stoked about that because it’s been a long time waiting.
All in all our life will be quite interesting this year and I hope everyone will stick around. We have more blog posts, videos, pictures, and adventure stories coming up that we would love to share with everyone. I know I’ve said we would be more active last year, but I didn’t plan on a whole bunch of road blocks. Now given a clean bill of health for the both of us, a new start for a new year is ahead.
Stay tuned. :D

Rest in peace Phil. You were a good fish. I will never forget you.

Maybe one day you will watch me play Zelda again.

Marla, Sookie, Jim, and Dwight miss you.

May you eat as many bloodworms as you want in fish heaven.
