Day 45

Okay, it has been forever, but.... today Wade and I made it to the gym.  I have to say considering I haven't been there forever, I was still able to do 2 miles in 30 minutes on the eliptical.  Yeah!  Now, if only I can get motivated to do that everyday!  We will see!

Day 43

For the past 16 years, I have been involved in a local children's theater that is sponsored by the Columbia Basin Allied Arts.  They bring in Missoula's Childrens Theater.  This year we did.....

It was fun.  I enjoy doing these and it is always fun to see children grow as they experience the arts.  I love their mission statement "developing lifeskills through the performing arts!"  What a great thing!

Day 37

Latest purchase...

So, I was in line at Hastings waiting to pay for two movie rentals that Wade and I were going to watch this weekend-Love Anyways and Beyond a Shadow of Doubt.  We watched Love Anways tonight.  It was cute & I liked it. 

Since I am subbing now, in theory, I have time to read.  This was in the checkout line, so I picked it up and read the back.  It sounded good.  So, I will have to crack it open, read it and then let you all know.

Day 36

After a day like today..............

I have been decluttering and came across this..... inside is a gift certificate for a massage and after the day I had today, I think I need to call and schedule my appointment.  I will let you know how it goes.  Thanks honey for your thoughtful gift.  Now, to find the time to just do it!

Day 35

The Good Old Sock Monkey.  This actually is a Christmas ornament that my sister, Laura got me a few years back.  She said she saw it and though of me because many years ago, I made one for my two youngest brothers.  it was defitinely an adventure, but I have good memories.  I think my brother, Kevin,ight actually still have his.  How funny.

Day 34

Well, it has been awhile, so I decided enough is enough......

Yep, I decided to go RED again..... I needed something to cover the gray and it has been quite awhile since I have had my hair colored professionally, so here I am.  I like it, but it has taken some getting use to.  It is almost a copper like color, but not brassy.  I like it.

Day 33

Needed a haircut, so here is where I went.  Anne did a great job.  Thanks!

Day 32

February 1st

Almond Roca-Yummy!!!

It is my sister, Laura's favorite, so every once in awhile I pick up a can and send it to her.  Guess what sistah, it's coming...... now if only I could get myself to the post office!

Day 31

So long, farwell, aufweiderzain-adieu.....

Wade sold his 1985 Toyota.  We are now a one family car.  We will see how that goes.

Later~J

Day 30

Empty mailbox.  Guess nobody loves us.  Oh wait.... that means that NO BILLS are here to spoil my day.  Horay, horay! :)

Later~J

Day 29

Ummmmm...... CHOCOLATE!!!!

I was craving something sweet, so I decided to make brownies.  I love the way they smell when they are in the oven.  What a lovely scent.  I wonder of they make a chocolate smelling candle.  That might be worth looking into.  Hmmm.....

Later~J

Day 28

It's the most wonderful time of the year?!?

Okay, not really but I am somewhat ready to do taxes.  I am never in a hurry to do them because we owe every single year, so here's hoping that enough taxes were taken out that it made a difference.  I will let you know-April 14th!

~Later, J

Day 27

This is something that I made at a Super Saturday last November.  It hangs by my front door.  As I came home from visiting my dad at the hospital tonight and turned around to shut my door, my eyes saw this.  I was quickly reminded that I am truly blessed and I need to give thanks for all I have.

Later~J

Day 26

Is it just me, or do I need new slippers?  I asked for a pair at Christmas, but didn't get any.  Guess I will go buy a new pair on payday then.  Oh well..... they still keep my feet warm!

Later~J

Day 25

Yeah, our replacement filters came for our humidifier.  Now, we can use it at night and hopefully get rid of the sniffles!   Yeah!!!!

Later~J

Day 24

Why is it that even though we have an answering machine, people still will not leave a message?  Just curious.  I always check it when I come home and I am pretty good about returning calls.  I always ask my husband if anybody loved us for the day?  I guess five people did. 

Later~J

Day 23

I love my "fur niece", Lucy.  She is a lot of fun.  Here she is resting peacefully at the feet of my mother.  It was quite cute.  She was content there and stayed there for quite awhile.  What a funny dog!

Later~J

Day 22

I think I need to take the time and clean OFF my refrigerator.  It is looking kind of cluttered.  Someday.  It just doesn't seem like a priority now, but I will get to it.

Later~J

Day 21

It is time for "Operation Declutter" to begin.  I need to get things back in order.  I found this book and thumbed through it.  I really like how it breaks it down week by week.  I think that will be easier to to then to tackle it all on at once.  It is just like eating an elephant-one bite at a time.  One day at a time.  So, we will see what happens.

Later~J

Day 20

A clean sink..... no dishes there.  Ah..... what a feeling!

Later~J

Day 19

My favorite snack.  Gotta love my snickers!

Later~J

Day 18

Yellow?  Lemon Merguine?  Maize?  Blonde?

So I went and helped my dad paint one of the bathrooms earlier this evening.  The color is a yellow color, but I can't remember the specific color.  I haven't painted for a long time, but I did manage not to get any paint on my clothes.  Amazing!  Oh well...... it wasn't too bad.  I got dinner out of it.  Then my sister, Lynette and I painted the laundry room.  I will have to take a photo and post it.  It does look good, if I do say so. 

Later~J

Day 17

Rain, rain go away....

come again another day!

Just one of these days, I'd like to see Mr. Sun.  I think he is hiding.  If I didn't know any better, I'd say that Mother Nature thinks it is March or April-bringing all the rainshowers.  Oh well.....it is good for my lawn.

Later~J

Day 16

My favorite TV Show

This is one of my favorite TV shows.  I love the character of Sheldon (the one pictured on the left).  This is a picture of the DVD Season 1 that my brother gave me for Christmas.  Gotta love it......If you haven't seen it, I'd advise that you catch an episode.  Try it, you might like it!

Later~J

Day 15

YUMMY!!

Is there anything better than brownies fresh out of the oven.  Yummy!!!  Gotta love it.  Don't turn down chocolate.  Now...... let's have a piece. Yummy, yummy, yummy!!!!!!!!!

Later~J

Day 14

It is taking over.......

CLUTTER!!!!!!!

I am on a mission...... Operation Declutter needs to take place and take place NOW!!!  It seems like wherever I look there's a pile here, there and everywhere in between.  It is sooooooo frustrating.  This is our coffee table.  I need to get bills into the bill box, magazines where they go, coupons cut.....and on and on and on and on........ when will the madness end?

Later~J

Day 13

Drink of choice lately

Not to mislead anybody, but it seems like about all I drink now is water, water and more water!!!  Not that I am complaining, it is good and I need to increase my water intake.  I am feeling better and suppose it is helping.  64 ounces....uggh!

Later~J

Day 12

It is good for the soul (and my health too!)

A good friend gave me some homemade chicken noodle soup.  Yummy.  It was um-um good.  Thanks Richelle!  :)

Later~J

Day 11

Comfy!

I have always loved slippers and have several pair.  I have to say though, out of all my slippers, I do love these.  They are suppose to be feet in flip flops with toe rings and all.  Gotta love them!

Later~J

Day 10

It's good for the soul

Because I have been sick, it seems like this is part of my "diet".  (It is easier to eat, especially since I can't open my mouth all the way.)  Besides, it is pretty good.

Later, J

Day 9

Remote Controls

Seriously, how many remotes does a person need?  Hmmmmm..... stereo, Direct TV, DVD Player and TV?  Oh my..... time to condense, I think?  We will see.......

Later, J

Day 8

Really?  As if it wasn't enough that I am dealing with, I get a cold/flu on top of it??????  Good thing meds come to the rescue.  Ah...... nothing quite like the nightime pills.  Had a great night of sleep (13 hours!)

Later ~J

Day 7

Okay, honestly, who does not have one of these in their kitchen????  I suppose I need to get it organized too and then perhaps it will no longer be a junk drawer.  We will see.....

Later ~J

Day 6

Things to do......

Later~J

Day 5

One small way to get more organized with my health.  It's full of vitamins! :)

Later~J

Day 4

Okay, for all the grief I have given to anybody who has one.....

I have to say, they are pretty warm and cozy too! :)

Later~Julie

Day 3

I have been on some medication with one of the side effects being not able to sleep.  Funny thing is that one of the things that brought on my condition was not enough sleep.  Ironic?  Anyways, I decided to take something to help me sleep.  Boy did it ever.  I slept for 15 hours.  It was awesome. Don't think I have done that in a very long time.  However, I don't think I want to keep taking this though.  Oh well.... at least I got one decent night's sleep out of it.

Later~Julie

Day 2

Okay, so spending the first part of my morning at the walk in clinic was not part of my to do list, but being the dutiful wife I am, I drove my husband there.  He is sick and hasn't been at work the last two days.  They prescribed meds, so hopefully he is on the mend.  We will see.  Guess I should get off the computer and give him some TLC. 

~Later, Julie

Day 1

Yep, went and bought one so I could get the puke out of my light blue front room carpet.  It works pretty good too.  Oh the joy!  Hooray for the Hoover Steam and Clean Vac.

Adios~Julie
