Outside my window … the skies are grey, and have been all day. It’s a welcome sight, both refreshing for the mind and body. Our province needs it, and my soul needs it after a dusty, tiring, incredible week _uacct = “UA-4888259-1″;urchinTracker();
I am thankful for … a relaxing weekend of camping that followed one of the most incredible weeks of my life; I am also so very thankful for the dozens of selfless volunteers who helped us on our Slave Lake donation drive journey
I am creating … a to-do list for this week. A week of minimal work coupled with a holiday weekend means that I am ridiculously behind in my chores, work and business life!! YIKES!
I am celebrating … life! Sweet, pure, simple life. Oh, and Jess’s birthday tomorrow!! My goodness, that snuck up on me – I’m having a hard time realizing that it is the end of May!! Ooh, which also means that my 4th wedding anniversary is the day after tomorrow. Oh my gosh – see what I mean?? I am sooo behind!!
From the kitchen … Strongbow pints and microwave popcorn with melted chocolate. Oh ya. Nothing says healthy like the night after a camping trip
I am wearing … $10 thermal cropped pants from Joe and one of Leith’s shirts while the laundry spins and spins and never ends downstairs…
I am reading … nothing right now. I’ve been picking at Locavore, which is a Canadian book in the theme of The Omnivore’s Dilemma and Animal, Vegetable, Miracle, but I haven’t gotten very far
I am hearing … my kids terrorizing their bedroom. I need a copy of THIS BOOK
I am going … to change over the laundry one last time and yell at my kids to go to sleep again
And probably check Twitter one more time…
Around the house and yard … mud and green, lattice fence to build (*cough*Leith*cough*), annuals to buy and plant, and my puppy to play with!!
One of my favourite things … Strongbow, an English cider, which I rarely buy but greatly enjoy! Thank you, camping leftovers!!!
A few plans for the rest of the week: blog posts to write about the Slave Lake donations drive, a thank you to create, plants to buy and plant, classes to teach, laundry to fold, children to love, a year-end performance for the ballet parents, a HAWT website to move and rebuild, a dinner at Pampa Brazilian Steakhouse for our wedding anniversary on Wednesday, and hopefully a girls’-night out for all the #yeghelps organizers/volunteers!!!!
A picture thought I am sharing with you:
