The Beginning

It is the start of a new beginning - is that contradictory? It's exciting to start a new phase in life. The planning hasn't quite taken place yet, but it has started. Lots of things to research and look through and choose.

I'm looking forward to it all.

Something that is needed...

Patience. It's something that is needed everywhere you go, but sometimes can be lacking... It's needed when you buy something online, when you help someone who doesn't know as much as you, when you make something, when you wait for someone slow, when you are cooking something new, when you listen to someone say something you don't want to agree with, when you are fixing something, when you want to buy something, when you need someone to help you...the list goes on and on...

Happy SysAdmin Day!

Today is SysAdmin Day! How fun...here's an interesting website that explains what a systems administrator is: http://www.sysadminday.com/whatsysadmin.html

Softball

Today we start softball again. It was nice to be outside and run. It got warm pretty fast and by the end...I was ready to go back into the icy air conditioned office. I can't believe I just wrote that.

Update: Marvin is doing well...except he continues to have selective hearing when outside. He is growing rapidly. I'll post up some pics later on.

Summer

Today is the first day that S doesn't have school or camp...basically the summer has officially started. I wish I didn't have to go to work today and have a couple of months off in the summer too! I'll have to see when would be some good days to take off of work this month and next :-)

Blissful...

1. A hug just because from my special someone
2. A lazy weekend morning with a cup of coffee
3. A clean house
4. The smell of the morning air
5. The feeling you get after a good workout
6. Completion of a project
7. Conversations with close friends
8. Fresh flowers from farmers' market in a vase

What do you consider to be blissful?

Just an ordinary day

Today is just an ordinary weekday...nothing different is planned. Yesterday we went to the Giants' game...it was not super great just because it was kind of a blow-out...the gents lost 8-1...hopefully they can pull it together tonight. My bro graduated last Friday...unreal. It makes me feel old and then to top it off, the other day, S was talking about how he was squatting during camp and when he got up...his legs were shaky - the oldness is creeping in! :-) life goes on i suppose...

TGIF

Yay, it's Friday! Plus it is a 3 day weekend, so I can rest up and do fun things :-) haha...now what shall we do for dinner?

Mid Week

Today is only Wednesday...but we got Starbucks in the morning :-) Usually we do Starbucks Fridays, but this is the second time we ran out of either coffee or half & half...so Starbucks Wednesday it is. It's kinda like a quick break from the week, because it's something different and fun. At least it is for me :-) What do you do to have fun in the middle of the week?

Mother's Day Weekend II

Happy Mother's Day! The weather today was very nice. We are spoiled by living in this area. Today we spent some time with S's mom. I hope she enjoys the basil plant. This is the card design that I came up with for this weekend...Should I post this one up on Etsy...maybe I should make another one and post both up at the same time?

Flowers

My beautiful flowers :-)

I have also been thinking of starting a shop on Etsy...I'm going to call it Whimsical Paper Designs...and try to sell cards that I make...what do you think?

A Cool Site

I found this site from a blog I was looking at...http://welovetypography.com...just type in the color you wish to search and it displays a bunch of interesting fonts, pics, colors...check it out :-)

Just Beautiful

Today Lisa Leonard posted a beautiful bracelet in her online store. I think it would look fabulous as a necklace :-) Hmm...now i'll have to think of a reason to get it...

A Whole Week

Wow, a whole week has passed and I did not blog...this week went by fast! I can't wait to go home and take a look at the dresser!

Update on the previous blog post

So it looks like the human calendar actually know what day it is...so it won't actually reflect the day that I originally wrote the post, but it will show whatever day/month you are actually checking out this blog :-) COOL

A Human Calendar

I was blog surfing and came across this...I wonder if the "date" will change accordingly...

Allergies...

Today my allergies are bad...I keep blowing my nose and my face and head feel slightly swollen...using way too much kleenex...

Snacks

I've been eating a lot of yogurt lately...plain, vanilla low-fat yogurt from TJs. I put in a mixture of some fruit like strawberries, bananas, blueberries, blackberries, dried cranberries, almonds, and put in granola along with the yogurt. It satisfies as a mid-morning snack, but also works as a lunch :-)

Happiness is...

Having great friends to celebrate and share things with...Thanks everyone!

There always seems to be some sort of material item that is on my wish list. I wonder if there will ever be a time where there are nothing on that list. The funny thing is that once the item leaves that list, I feel just a bit more satisfied. Especially if that item has been on the list for quite some time. I guess if it was something that had stayed on the list, then it must have been quite important? One can only hope that is the case.
