Project Life.

I am keeping up with my Project Life but most of the pictures are happening with the IPhone.  I don't have the book caught up yet but I am working on it.  I thought I'd share a few photos from the project.

A pretty sunset from the window of the office.

Caden's SAT Admission ticket.

Mama got a new phone.  I am now known around the house as the IWife since I have an IPhone, an IPod Touch, an IPad, and a MacBook Pro:)

Having lunch with my guy while in Florida.  See, we are outside in the nice warm weather!  Florida, I miss you.

My trip to Sam's Club.

Our crazier than usual dog with his big ole butt hanging off the back of the couch.  He is for another day, another blog post I tell ya:(  The cause of much stress in my life right now.

So there are a few of the pictures that are in my Project Life Book.  I was looking at a friends PL book (Monica of Without Filters) and her book is gorgeous.  She has a little one and a baby so she has a lot more going on in her life than I do.  She is layering her book and I really love that.  I am thinking of trying to do that but not sure what I would put in between the pages.  We'll see what my creative brain can dream up.

Caden is out of school today because they are decorating for the prom so we have a date for lunch, shopping (for him) and then the gym.  Hope you all have a great weekend.  We are suppose to have some warm weather so I am going to enjoy every minute of it.

PS. Thanks for all the comments on the dining room.  I will post the finished room whenever I get it completed.

Ramblings.

Happy Friday morning.  Just some rambling thoughts this a.m.:)

*I got my hair cut last week.  I showed up at an appointment that was scheduled for today and so I let the girl that was working that day cut my hair.  (you can do that when you move so much and don't really have a hairdresser yet;-)

It is a modified bob like I had last year.  After having the cut for about a week now, I am not tickled with all the layers in the back.

*On Sunday, Gary took me to Myrtle Beach to do a little shopping.  We headed to HomeGoods and I can now say that it is not worth the drive.  It just isn't as good as the one in Cincinnati.  We only found one picture and nothing else.  Next time we are going to go to Charleston to that store and see what we can find.  Anyway, we ate lunch at P. F. Chang's and I have to say that I have found a new love....fried string beans!  YUM YUM!

*On our way home, it was raining and we saw a rainbow.  I shot this with my IPhone out the window.

*I joined the gym.  Lord help me!  I have never even been inside of a gym in all of my 43 years.  Caden really wanted to join but I didn't want to commit to a year but I did.  My first visit by myself was Tuesday and I did pretty good.  I went back yesterday after I picked Caden up from school.  I am sore today but  I hope to lose a few pounds and tone up a little;-)

*This weekend I am going to be working on my Project Life.  I am WAY behind in my book but I am taking the photos.  I have to say that I am taking a lot of pictures with my phone but that's ok.  At least I am taking them.

*Last Saturday we were shopping for Gary some new clothes for work when we passed a really cute pink coat.  In passing I said "that is a really cute coat but I wouldn't have anywhere to wear it."  He bought it the next day and had it wrapped in a bag sitting in my bathtub.  You girls know I love my bubble bath every night and that was the perfect place to put it.  I squealed like a teenage girl.  Not everyday that I get a surprise like that.

I love it!  It has ruffles on the pockets, cute buckles on the sleeves, and the color is blush pink.  Love, love, love it!  (sorry for the bad pictures but they are all taken with my phone and trying to take your own photo is hard to do)  I knew that he would go back and buy it for me. Don't ask me how I knew, but I knew.

So that kinda wraps up my week.  The last two weeks have been very busy and I am hoping to get some things done this weekend and then pray for a slower week next week.  Hope everyone is enjoying a little sunshine and some warmer weather!

Happy weekend,

Mel

Project 365.

I have decided to participate in Project Life. Project Life is the brain child of Becky Higgins. It's a scrapbooking project where you take a photo a day for 365 days. Back when she designed the first kit, it was called Project 365 but now she has renamed it Project Life. You can do it however you want to. You can take a photo a day, a photo a week, or whatever you like.

I started Project 365 back in 2009. I completed it up until August but then we got busy moving to Cincinnati and I quit taking a photo a day. I decided that this year, I would do it again. I had to order a new book because I didn't have enough stuff to get me through the year with the old book. The book hasn't arrived yet but I have started taking my pictures. I thought that I would share a few.

January 1st: Doing nothing but watching football and reading magazines.

January 2nd: Nothing like Caden waiting until 2 days before school starting back that he tells me that he needs this book for English.

January 3rd: Our Pier One is going out of business so I went and bought these cute measuring cups that I had been eyeing for some time.

January 4th: Report card day that won't be posted due to private info on it.

January 5th: My first kit from Studio Calico came in the mail.

January 6th: My cute little Anthropology kitchen timer that Gary bought me. It matches my Kitchenaid mixer.

So there is my almost first week of photos. Just the mundane of every day life but I like the mundane. Hope everyone has had a great week. I have been doing the normal stuff and also counting my calories. Ugh, it has been hard but I have stuck with it. Wish me luck.

Happy Friday!
