on my part.

i usually brew at home.
but some mornings, when i have to be at work
at ohhh, SEVEN A.M.- i stop for my fave drink.
venti non fat caramel misto with 2 splenda.
just typing that made my mouth water.

for the past 3 1/2 months i have been taking my re-useable mug
to my girls at the bucks. and i have been so happy with the little steps
i am taking to make sure i am creating less waste.
it started when we were in NYC during this event.
(i took pics, but they are on the mac daddy, and i am on the babymac at the moment)
i wondered how many cups i was responsible for,
and what the impact could be if i just took one of my plethora of travel mugs with me each day.

i am happy to say that i have stuck to my resolution thus far
and i am now thinking about what more i can do.
like: if i take a reuseable cup to chick-fil-a, and paid for a medium but
had them use my cup instead of wasting one of their styrofoam ones,
would they let me?
i think its worth a try.

more later. gots to get to work!!

xo

live positively.

have you read your diet coke can lately?


and a few pages from my art journal:

who hasn't been here?

more fortunes...

what i wouldn't give
for a solo...

(and honestly, some naprogesic, too)

happy fruit.

so this has been dessert
quite a bit lately.
i am sooo looking forward to
summer fruits...it's almost here...
i got to wear chanclas yesterday
(after all-this is TEXAS people!!)


so tomorrow we get a new president...

tuesday=happy new president day
:)

just havent taken the time to
log on and share.

christmas decs are put up
which means an uncluttered house.

which means lots of room on the
mac baby.

and hot coffee. yum.


this week is sure to be a great one.
i'm looking forward to tuesday in particular.
:)

on my mind.

happy diamondhead, originally uploaded by glo-riah.

oh lawdy.
i am missing this place
lately.
craving huli huli chicken
and long walks on warm sand
liquid sunshine on my head and
the smell of suntan lotion and the ocean.

today i appreciate my memories.
xoxo

i refuse to let this one go.

just a quick post to share
my appreciation for both
saturday
(even though i had to work)
and sunday
(even though i went back
to the bx for a pair of shoes
and they weren't there anymore)

saturday i was appreciative of a nice drive
to boerne with tabitas...
sunday we had a nice family meal
at mama lee's...just our lil
family of four.
soul food..mmm

ps: yes, linds- brittany!!

note to self:

fruit


not fruit


just a reminder.
because i am now addicted to
the cherry sours.
thanks to a cute co-worker
who just happens to be a new momma.
:)

today i appreciate the friday of it all.

they call me chuck

that's my nick name at work.
my LGM and one of the sales mgrs
like to call me chuck because
that's pretty much what i wear
every.
day.

yesterday i could appreciate
the humor in seeing this pile
of shoes as i walked through
the door.
these aren't all mine!!
the girl one wears them too.


(we are a stocking feet only home)

today is my day off.
nice to have one during the week
when no one is home.
i have a load of laundry in,
dishes are done
and now i'm about to make a grocery list.
holy moly i am determined to get
a sh*t load of chores done.

so today it would seem
a day off is appreciated.
xoxo

the love i feel.

today i appreciate
his willingness to make dinner
for his hungry
cranky wife.
even with no promise
of a horizontal dance.

:)

it's easy to see

what i appreciated today...


ya know
what made them 100 times bettah?
the boyone baked them on his own.

oh, sure,
they were from
packaged dough.
but i
didn't
lift
a
finger.
&
yesterday was this
gorgeous girl's bday.

she's now
fwee yrs old.
& i was able to appreciate
her giggles and sass.

xoxo
love you sugar lumps.

appreciate.

just popping in
to document
my word
for 2009.
appreciate.
i tend to forget
to do that from time to time.

today's 365:

the beloved rug that
keeps my toesies
warm in the morning while i
pour my coffee.

the view from here.

ready for the morning.

a lil some-some i'm working on.


i cleaned the "office area" yest.




and baked sugar free (splenda)
choc chip cookies for a friend's
fiance (he's diabetic). yum.


last night was my first photography class.
very basic
but it sounds like he will build on the basics
slowly.
which is good.
first assignment is to play with shutter speed.
i have a few days to think on that.
i don't want to just do the water sprinkler
or running water from the faucet.

i work the late shift today
so i have a lil time to catch up on
these informative pieces:


peace!!

like whoa.

it's 2008 y'alls.

happy new year!!

hope everyone had a great night.

ours was low key, i made lots of appetizers

and cookies to munch on

while we played games like guesstures, cranium

and scrabble.

i generally stay away from new year's resolutions

because i am usually setting myself up for failure.

so it came as a shock to me this morning

that i resolved to do something.

i resolve to learn one thing.

one thing each week

about my camera/photography.

only one.

c'mon self, you can do it!!

in the meanwhile, 

today will be spent drinking lots of coffee,

perhaps hitting up a sale or two at the mall,

and continuing big love on my portable dvd.

while i scrap.

hopefully.

i knew it wouldn't last.

hubbs just informed me he needs

to go fix the 'puter at mi madre's.

damn PC.

:)

kimmyk, it really helps to know what i am making

so i can shop accordingly...all those meals take like 40 mins 

or less to make (or 5 mins of prep and then into the crockpot!!)

it just looks involved!! heh heh
