Week in the Life (Monday Recap)

 

 

Morning everyone.

 

How did all that documenting go yesterday?

 

My Monday went well, other than forgetting to take that one last shot before bedtime.

 

As I explained yesterday, I'm keeping this process sweet and easy. Cause that's how I roll these days. 13 photos taken (3 deleted as extras).

 

Bam. Done.

 

10:15 wake up, let dogs out, pouring outside

 

11:20 cleaning fridge and pantry, making shopping list for week

 

 

12:30 posting on blog

 

1:17 pick up Mom for weekly visit

 

2:28 pick up Alec from school

 

3:13 shopping at Trader Joe's, making mindful choices

 

4:53 more shopping at another store, looks like Fall

 

6:17 waiting outside gym to pick up Alec

 

7:30 Taco Bell and a game of monopoly (board games always with Gma Waugh)

That's it for Monday. I went to bed about 11, but no more photos for the day.

 

Now go have an awesome Tuesday!

Week in the Life: Monday

It's time.

Time to slow down and record your everyday moments.

I love documenting life this way.

We all take photos of the big events, but what about the everyday life moments? Not so much.

So today I'm sharing my tools/supplies.

You might want to take notes.

Printouts to document. Camera. Pen. Notebook. Page protectors.

Yep. That's it. Keeping it simple.

Let me know if you are working on WITL also. I love comments!

Need more info? Check out links here and here. The daily printouts are available on the 2nd link, for free. Go get some!

Friday Wrap

It's the end of another week.

 Time to reflect on the moments and share a few photos from the cell phone.

And linking up with Jeannette at Life Rearranged and Lauren at Lauren Elizabeth. And Darci at The Good Life.

 

1. rare rainy day /// 2. substitute for the $5 a day habit /// 3.new hair color

 

4. shiny bikes to replace ones stolen from our front door (I hate mean people)/// 5. treating myself to 30 min of relaxing time /// 6. volleyball starts next week (meaning less money in my checking account)



Prepping for Week in the Life 2013

Today is prepping day. I will be joining in for Week in the Life 2013.

I'm printing out worksheets and heading to Target for a 3 ring 8.5 x 11 inch binder and a new pen.

Yep. I'm living it up.

Don't know what Week in the Life is? Head over to Ali Edward's blog for all the info.

Planning on joining in on all the documenting? Let me know!

And check back next week for daily updates. You Lucky Ducks!

Currently

eating:  homemade pizza (dough from Trader Joe's, pizza sauce made my myself). Not bad for the first time, but not great either. Will have to practice....

wearing:  my usual comfy clothes. Black tee. Green cargo pants. Ecco sandals. But I'm sporting a brand new hair color. Brown on top, lighter at bottom, with more blond in the front. Think I like it, but it's a bit dark for now. Should lighten up over the week or so....

drinking:  Diet 7 Up. Had a wisdom tooth pulled yesterday, so no caffeine for 24 hours. Turns out I really like Diet 7 Up!

starting:  to get excited for fall. All the signs of fall around town, like Halloween decorations and pumpkin spice lattes. Now we just need to temps to start cooling off a bit.

feeling:  irritated (teen boy), drowsy (tooth pain meds), hopeful (craft time tomorrow?)

reading:  Animal, Vegetable, Miracle (Barbara Kingsolver). Amazing read. Trying to take it slow and not rush through it. So I get all that I can from the book. Already looking at our shopping/eating habits in a new light. It's crazy that we spend so much time a day eating, but so little time thinking about the choices we are making. (I know I'm a little slow to this idea, but I'm paying more attention now).

watching: Breaking Bad. Only 4 episodes left. And I may not survive the suspense. Seriously! Rented The Place Beneath the Pines and Now You See Me. Will be a quiet night on the couch tonight!

weather:  low 82 and high 108. Slight chance of showers.

needing: A quiet night filled with peace and a day without tooth pain....

listening:  to nothing.  Just the sound of the A/C and the ceiling fan.

dreaming:  Of that week in La Jolla. Fall Break. Relaxing time with the family.

loving:  that I have 2 days off with my hubby. Seriously excited! And not sure what HAS to get done, other than his teeth cleaning appt.
