So...um...yeah...uh...Hi. Long time no blog.

And the only excuse I have is that it's summer time. Days are busy. Evenings are too. And blogging just seems to be the one thing that never gets crossed off my to-do list.

Troy's at church tonight, helping to set up for our church's summer hit series, "At the Movies". I believe they're converting our church lobby into Willy Wonka's chocolate factory. I can't wait to see it Saturday.

So while the kids were eating dinner...I made myself a list of things I'd like to do tonight...

  1. mow the yard (geesh it's HOT outside!)
  2. shower (fresh and clean)
  3. start laundry (hoping it doesn't get water all over the hall carpet again)
  4. eat dinner (salad w/ grilled chicken. yum)
  5. download pictures from camera (*sigh* the camera battery is dead)
  6. edit photos (can't until the battery is charged)
  7. blog weekly photos from June 24th - present (see #5 and #6)

So I'm here...just typing...sans photos.

The rest of the list is as follows...

  1. update my weight loss blog (it's even more neglected than this one)
  2. paint my toe and finger nails
  3. plan tomorrow's meals and snacks
  4. do a bit of daycare paperwork
  5. get a bday card ready to mail
  6. start cleaning the house (bathrooms and kitchen and dusting tonight, vacuuming and mopping tomorrow)
  7. go to bed.

I'm thinking I'm not going to get much more done since it's already after 9 pm...but at least it'll give me a place to start tomorrow.

And hopefully, I'll be back tomorrow...with photos. :)

Outside my window...
the sun is shining bright. It's another warm day...but at least it's not 100*+ like it was all last week.

I am thankful for...
family, long walks, VBS, our freedom, and good books

I am thinking...
about when I'm going to get my exercise in today. It's been a bit of a hectic day so far.

From the kitchen...
Mon - hoppin'john, green beans, cornbread
Tue - warm chicken pasta over salad
Wed - pepper steak, rice, yellow squash
Thu - ham bake, steamed broccoli
Fri - baked french toast, turkey bacon, berries
Sat - grilled sausage, corn on the cob, coleslaw
Sun - ???

I am reading...
I just finished Kiss by Ted Dekker. Loved it. I need to see what other books I have borrowed from the library and choose one of them to start.

I am hoping...
for another great weigh-in this week.

I am creating...
our 2007 Photo-of-the-Day book. I can't wait to see it printed.

I am going...
to enjoy my day off on Friday.

I am hearing...
the a/c running and the kids watching the disney channel in the other room.

Around the house...
just the usual constant straightening and cleaning.

One of my favorite things...
feeling 'free' when I'm out on my evening walks.

A few plans for the rest of the week...
Mon - VBS, meeting with a possible new daycare parent, and Troy's working late
Tue - VBS
Wed - VBS
Thu - VBS
Fri - dentist appt, WW mtg, grocery shopping, Troy CNA shift 3-?
Sat - parade, family fun, fireworks (I love the 4th of July!!)
Sun - library

Have a great week everyone!!
