Sad day . . .

Both Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett died! Really liked his earlier music, and she really was a beautiful person. Makes one think about life and eternity . . .

Everyone's Doin' It . . .

according to Ali Edwards and Cathy Z. So now i'm gonna do it.

Outside my window: The sun just beginning to set, making our backyard very bright.

I am thinking about: the mess my scraproom is in and how much time i'm spending cleaning and rearranging, but NOT scrapping!

I am thankful: A/C since it has been so STINKIN' hot here in central Texas. Nothing like 100+ temps! YEAH A/C!!

From the kitchen: Quesadillas for dinner! Brown rice, black beans, red tomatoes, cheddar cheese, white chicken breast meat, etc. Quite colorful, no? :)

I am wearing: My fav and only Barry Manilow concert t-shirt and black shorts.

I am creating: a mess in my scraproom, as i said above!

I am going: to my scraproom in a bit to work in and on it some more. Hopefully tomorrow to car wash, Curves then Bible study in the p.m.

I am reading: Believing God by Beth Moore, along with parts of the Bible; Romans 4.

I'm hoping: for rain and cooler temps - SOOOOOON!

I'm hearing: the T.V. in the background playing "Zach and Cody" and the A/C running.

Around the house: dust bunnies that need to be sucked up by vacuum. Also little hot spots (piles) that need to find a permanent home.

One of my favorite things: would have to be summer break in my A/C home.

A few plans for the rest of the week: continue working in and on scraproom, Bible study, scrapathon on Saturday, read my new photography book.

I liked this! Neat for daily journal entries.

“The reason people find it so hard to be happy is that they always see the past better than it was, the present worse than it is, and the future finer than it will be.”

Odds and ends

LIBRA - The Harmonizer (Sept 23 - Oct 22)Nice to everyone they meet. Can't make up their mind. Have own unique appeal. Creative, energetic, and very social. Hates to be alone. Peaceful, generous. Very loving and beautiful. Flirtatious. Give in too easily. Procrastinators. Very gullible.

{got this in an email and thought it had some accurate things.}

Ciao for now.

School's out for Summer!

"Summer time and the livin' is easy."

Or so I hope! Summer break, for me, officially started yesterday afternoon at 12:30 p.m. Went to celebrate with a few collegues at Hula Hut in Austin. Had a Lake Austin Lemonade and fish tacos! Yum! Took a boat ride with the girls through a place Joylynn called "Venice of Austin" Evidently it's this island of absolutely gorgeous, humongous homes. Breathtaking! If only . . . .

Today, started the day with WW meeting (getting back into the swing of things there), a trip to Archiver's (where i saw a announcement of a travel album class i want to take; they won't be signing up people until the 15th :( oh well), and to the post office to pick up my package. Now i'm home and just gonna chill, do my Bible study homework, shower, and whatever else hits my fancy. I'll start getting into some housework on Monday! Until then, i'm going to enjoy the hot weekend.

Things i need to photograph:
my makeup
Bath & body stuff
self portrait
hair products
my new Coach purse (a student gave to me)
teacher gifts

Here's to summer freedom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
