whatever

lazy sunday

up early to walk the puppy.

late church service.

subway for lunch.

craig packed all the kids up and went to see his dad.

i put on my iPod and danced and sang and sewed.

(thanks for the inspiration crystal)

how good it feels to have a quiet house.

(notice i didn't say a clean house?)

and just for laughs.

i think it's funny...maybe you don't.

here's the real lazy sunday.

then on a totally different subject...

hey lorel - i saw this picture today and it mad me miss you so much!

i miss my big sister.

if i could i would give you big hug.  

and shout "BEER ME!"  

or "nice shlacks and a nice blouse"

or "augh...my nails!"

i had better call you.  or you call me.

love ya.

new list

the summer list was almost completed.

no horse, no teaching lauren to drive, no new recipes...

but summer is over.

so i made a new list.

it's all mine.

every room has it's own color

and each project i want to finish.

with room at the bottom to add stuff i think of later.

with the kids at school i am trying to be productive and creative.

trying...

and this list has already helped me so much!

and i can never say "i have nothing to do"

not that i have said that in the past 5 years...but if i thought of saying it.

i can't. 

it's all here in rainbow color.

now i am going to make some pillows.

new adventure (not puppy related)

but quickly for those of you who asked -

waffle is a golden doodle - half golden retriever half poodle.

he is a boy.

he is wonderful.

i love him.

i have a new baby to take care of!

since i can't have a real baby....

believe me i have asked for that too.

but craig is really ice cold on that....frozen you could say.

but enough about puppies for now.

let me tell about my new adventure that i may take.

i told some friends recently 

that i was thinking about photography more seriously.

like as a J.O.B.  

(scary scary thought)

they said "yes yes yes DO IT!"

then i asked if i could practice on them.

they said "yes yes yes DO IT!"

(also very scary)

they made me feel so good and warm and fuzzy.

i have good friends.

so here are my first guinea pigs...(so to speak)

he left for college 2 days later. 

they should be in a band and use this for their album cover.

(or whatever people call them now that we don't have records.)

 

my favorite.

it was fun.

i learned a lot just from my first try.

thank you gb and roger and kids.

one last thing...look what claire almost touched during pictures!

seriously.

i was uncomfortable knowing this spider was in the same town as me.

it was the biggest spider i have ever seen. 

HUGE.

it looked like what you see in museums.

and i think that's where it should go.

far far away....and dead.
