Day 26

A Photo That Makes Me Angry/Sad
Not so much angry, just sad.  And not really personal, more just sad for all the people who had to see this and end up with that...I can't even imagine.

A Photo That Makes Me Happy


It just does...what can I say.

Day 21

5 of My Biggest Pet Peeves

1. being ready to leave and having to wait on people who don't seem to think it is important to get somewhere on time...or at all.
2. moms or dads that smoke around their kid, especially in a car.
3. going to a grocery store and them not having an item that they should have.  (happened at 3 stores yesterday!!  had to settle for something similar...lame)
4. realizing library stuff was due yesterday.
5. sitting down to watch a DVR'd show and having it cut off 5 minutes before the end.

These are pretty basic pet peeves.  I always think of them when they happen and then can't remember when someone asks what they are.  So this is all I could come up with today.  
Happy Easter!

 

Day 20

My Worst Habit
I have a problem saying no.  More specifically, saying no to sales people that come to my door.  I get duped!  I am a softy...I have bought cleaning product, magazine subscriptions, knives...although I think that last one was a infomercial but still.  In the words of Ado Annie, "I can't...say...no!"

Day 19

A Picture of Me Last Year and Now and How I Have Changed Since Then...
Taken in April 2010

Taken in April 2011

 So not a whole lot has changed appearance wise...darker hair, longer hair.
I feel like I have grown up a little in the last year, learned some "life-lessons", made some changes in my day to day.  I feel like a better mom, a better wife.  I am finally learning to enjoy "keeping the home".  Sort of...At church I am no longer in the Young Women program, I now teach Valiant 8 and it is great!  I love being in the primary and singing the songs.  
So all changes that have come about since last year are positive and on the way forward.

Day 18

A Photo of Somewhere I've Been

 

One of our favorites places!  Disneyland!  We have been twice with the kids and can't wait to get back again.  

 

Day 17

A Photo of Something That Means a Lot to Me

 I think family goes without saying so something else that has just always been a part of my life is dance.  I have done it since i was about 4 years old and am still teaching and performing when I can to this day.  I love it.  It is a part of who I am.

Day 16

What's In My Purse?

This is going to be a boring one I think.  I am not going to put a picture.  

My wallet.

A bag with just in case things and lip gloss.

A bag full of gift cards, business cards, and pictures of my kids.

Receipts float around here and there.

Check book.

Gum.

Pack of tissues.

Hand sanitizer.

My phone usually.

My ipod and headphones.

That's about it!  It's kind of a big purse.

Day 15

Something I Crave a Lot

Just so happens that recently I have been craving this A LOT.  It is just so good...

  I was going to just find a google photo to put in here but thinking about it made me want it so I am eating this as I type...mmm...

Day 14

A Photo of Something That Makes Me Happy

 this guy.  

everyday.

Day 13

Something I Never Leave the House Without
Easy...

It includes my numbers, my email, my calendar...

basically I would not remember to do anything if I didn't have it.

Day 12

A TV Show I'm Currently Addicted to
Well I can't pick just one so here are four that are "must-see tv" for me during the week.

 I have a few other sitcoms that we watch but must see like the day or day after it happens are these shows.

 

Day 11

A Photograph of the Town I Live In

 So from the bottom up, Main Street in Downtown Bel Air, about 3 blocks from our home.  The Bel Air sign.  A super pretty reminder that Spring really is almost here on our block.  And Anna running down our street during a walk.  

Bel Air is a pretty big town but has a small town feel I think, at least in the area we live in.  

I love it here.

Day 10

A Photo and Description of What's in My Makeup Bag
Well...thing is...I don't have a "makeup bag".  I have my purse but I don't carry around makeup except for lipgloss and chapstick.  So I will put up a generic picture of the "makeup" that is in my "bag".  

Victoria's Secret Lip Gloss

Nivea Chapstick (the kind that looks like a glue stick)

That's it...I get my makeup finished at home so I don't feel I have a need to carry it all with me.

:)

Day 9

A Photo of the Last Item I Purchased

I went to Barnes & Noble yesterday after finishing book two of the Hunger Games trilogy and bought this...naturally. 

 

Day 8

A Recipe

I was going to put up the recipe for Bakerella's cake balls but when I went to the blog I saw these as the featured recipe.  And, um...YUM!  These look so yummy and easy and I am probably going to have to try them sometime this week.  Click the link for the full post and recipe...here is a picture to give you a preview...

Day 7

A Song to Match My Mood and Why

Whataya Want From Me - by Adam Lambert

Because I feel like I am constantly being badgered and questioned and having demands thrown at me today and this whole weekend really.  But I guess that is the life of a Mom.  Kids will be curious and demanding and will hound you and bother you and love you no matter what you don't let them do and no matter how "mean" you are to them.  Unconditionally.  
 

Day 6

This should've been done yesterday but the craziness that was my life did not allow me to sit down at the computer.  So for yesterday...

Day 2

A Photo of Myself and a Description of How My Day Was

This is me about 2 minutes ago.  It is only 2pm but I don't want to wait til later cause I will forget to post.  So my day has been very relaxed.  Doing laundry, reading magazines, reading lots of books to Anna, played Zingo with Anna, snacking.  
I think I will read more of my book and then take Christian to piano later.  Then I teach dance tonight.  
Wow, pretty boring day I guess.  Alright, that's it!
