may desktop calendar

Hi friends!!

I hope you are having a great week~I am in training for my new job, so I have been a little preoccupied this week, I am getting used to my new schedule and exercising my brain, a LOT!!

Each month I download the free desktop calendar from Shabby Miss Jen, I love her designs!!   

All you have to do is open up the calendar (and a photo) in a photo editing program (I use Photoshop) and then drag your photo under it.  EASY PEASY!!  

Here is the one I did for my computer at home, and once I get my work computer set up,  it will be on that one too :)

Enjoy Today!!

weekly iphone photo dump {april week 4}

I had a fun week participating in Ali Edward's "a week in the life."  I was worried that I would run out of things to take pictures of, but once I got into it, things just seemed to flow!!  I will definitely participate again next year!!  I have not decided if I will make a separate album for all my photos from my WITL or if I will just incorporate it into my Project Life album.  I may post a few of the photos this week, since I did not really have much time to stamp.  I was busy wrapping up all the details from my last job, so I can transition to my new job tomorrow.  I am looking forward to my first day!!  I have been doing healthcare for so long~I think it will be a nice change for me.  

Here is my weekly phone dump (I had LOTS of photos to choose from this week, since I was using my DSLR and my iphone to document my WITL).

From Left to Right:

1.  Running some quick errands:  drop off a package for Josh, pick up stamps for work, run to Costco.

2.  This is one of the many times I didn't spend over $250 at Costco~picked up some snacks for the boys and some frozen fruit for me (Yonana's!!)

3.  My kids LOVE this mac & cheese, I prefer homemade, but I gave it a try for lunch the other day, and it was OK (and only 5 ww points plus)

4.  Pete on top of my work (as usual).  I will miss having my crazy pets with me at work!! 

5.  Decided to drop off all my ironing at the dry cleaners (go me!!), check out the bag they gave me with my own name inside so I can drop off laundry anytime, at their kiosk~COOL!!

6.  Mike and I went out for lunch on Friday to a new place up in the foothills, We have eaten at others in the past, and are excited to have one so close to us!!!

7.  Mailed a birthday gift~I love that I don't have to wait in line anymore at the post office, because it never fails, when I go in there,  there is always a line and 2 people working, then one decides to go on break!! (vent over).

8.  Mike and I went out for lunch AGAIN on Saturday, to our usual spot see #9  (we kinda splurged on eating out this week, LOL!!).

9.  Our usual Saturday lunch spot :)


Enjoy Today!!

week in the life {my monday}....

Hi all! I hope you are having a terrific Friday!!I have been busy wrapping up stuff for my old office, and getting ready to start my new job on Monday.  

This year I was determined to participate in the Week in The Life!!  I have to say that it has been somewhat easy to keep up with the task.  However, I sometimes do something and then think "I should have photographed that."  

I think it is a great idea to document your ordinary everyday routine.  I will be the first to admit, my life is not too exciting, but I LIKE that!!  

Here are my Monday photos:

Wake up: 6:45 am, head downstairs for some coffee, I am excited to try the new creamer flavor, caramel Macchiato = YUMMY!!

Realized I forgot to take a photo of my bedroom clock and what time I woke up, oh well (hopefully will remember that another day this week)!!  Instead I took a picture of the family room clock.  No worries, it all works out!!

7am - Coffee poured and ready to check emails and blogs for 30 min or so.

 

7:45 am - Normally I do my laundry on the weekend, but ran out of time, so threw in a load to get it going.

8:45 am - Showered and ready to start my work (working from home this week).  Here is Kodi wondering why I am disturbing his one of many naps!!  Is it just me, or does he look like he is giving me a dirty look?  LOL!!

9 am - Stayed in my home office for most of the day.  I am transitioning to a new job and this week I had a lot of stuff to wrap up for my old office.

2:30 pm - Doctors appointment, so off I went (nothing serious).

2:45 pm - I didn't have to wait too long before the Physicians Assistant came in to see me (my doctor was on vacation this week).  So of course while I was waiting I snapped a picture.  After a quick lab, and a lecture that I am not drinking enough water, I was on my way.

3 pm - I am a good patient!!  So when I got home I poured a glass of water, and have been drinking more this week *go me*

3:15 pm - went back into my office to do some more work wrap up.

 

The temp on Monday~it is getting HOT here!!  Probably another reason to drink more water!!

6:30 pm - Forgot to photograph dinner, oops! But snapped a few of me cleaning it up.

 

7 pm - Finished up the the laundry from the morning.

7:30 pm - Mike and Kodi chllin' on the sofa, waiting for me to finish up and join them for some TV watching.

7:45 pm - I whip up some Yonanas for a snack and I join the boys on the sofa.  

 

9:30 pm - Get ready for bed and played Draw Something/read on my ipad.

10:30 pm - Lights out!

It was a good day!!

Administrative Professional Day...

Happy Administrative Professional Day!!  

Today is going to be a quick post!!  If you didn't know, today is Administrative Professionals Day.  Here is the gift that Mike and I put together for Heather, our Church Administrator.  She is such a blessing to our family (and the rest of the church)!!  I know of many times she has told Mike to GO HOME, which I really appreciate!  She has given of her time for quite some time, and when I say given, I mean GIVEN!!  She volunteers her time and talent to our church selflessly!! 

I cannot list the items inside the bag...just in case she reads this post, since this is waiting for her at the church office once she gets out of work today.  I hope she enjoys it!!

I purchased the gift bag at Target and of course had to try to coordinate the card *smile*  

And I don't know what it is about curling ribbon, but my cats LOVE that stuff!!  Must contain some kind of kitty crack!!  Notice Dewey sneaking in the background trying to be inconspicuous? Yeah, I am onto him!!

Enjoy today!!!

a quick tag...

Hi all!! 

I hope you had a fantastic weekend!! Mine flew by faster than usual. 

Saturday Ashley and I went to her BFF bridal shower we had a great time!!   I decided to give a gift card to one of the places she was registered at, that way she can get exactly what she wants, and considering she lives in Texas, it is much easier to transport back home.  I found this cute little bag at Target to put the gift card in, and whipped up a color coordinated tag for it.

 Here it is all packaged up and ready to go!!

 
Enjoy Today!!
